I was last on this hill in 2008 at the other end of the ridge but today I was finding a geocache at this end so made a point of looking for this high point. | Father Ted | 19/06/2022 |
On a 2 Marilyn, 16 mile Bank Holiday circuit from Abergavenny station. Came up from Capel Bettws- steep! Superb views all round, especially of the Sugarloaf and Ysgyryd Fawr. On to the new summit. | thesweetcheat | 18/04/2022 |

Climbed thinking it was the summit. Didn't bother to check as everything else looked lower to me. Oh well, it's a lovely bit of ridge so I'll go for the Marilyn tomorrow. | Wycombe Wanderer | 14/01/2022 |
From small Cp at Fro - new permissive path cuts out the dog leg above Rhyd-llanau. Good track along crest of the hill. | DanMaisieBex | 29/08/2021 |
Used Fro car park for short walk incl. Sugar Loaf. Arrived at 9am on Sunday and was first car there, but car park was full when arriving back at 12:30. A bit cloudy, but still some lovely views. | JazDisney | 06/06/2021 |

Slept overnight in the camper van at the quiet NT car park on the road between Forest Coal Pit and Bettws. From here we enjoyed a lovely stroll along well maintained grass paths through the bracken, heather,and gorse to Sugar Loaf and Bryn Awr. Very hot. The last day of summer? | summitter | 22/09/2020 |

Solo circuit from Abergavenny over Sugar Loaf, Bryn Arw and Ysgyryd Fach. Stick to the marked paths - far too much bracken otherwise. Ascended from Rhyd-lanau, descended via Cwm Brynarw (watch the map closely). | Mark Jackson | 29/10/2015 |

With: solo; Parked in car park at SO292200. Followed the track round then a heavily overgrown path with head high bracken and bramble. It was a hot day today and this was awful! I visited the old S top. It was slightly better. Climb in winter! | Ian Baines | 06/09/2003 |
