Long out-and-back walk from Inverness SYHA up to here and Carn a' Bhodaich via the Caledonian Canal to start out with. Came up via the minor road to the south and then continued along the distinct path heading northeast from the trig pillar which then does eventually rejoin the Great Glen Way along good forest tracks some distance further on.Alex C30/01/2024
Verge park alongside house NH 578403 (owner friendly). Path/gap thru' gorse NH 57724 40276. Short, sparse heather/grass to gate NH 577404. Trod/path to knoll and obvious track where left (NW) to good path to trig at NH 57570 40961carole engel02/09/2023

Solo. After gate in deer fence, I turned sharp right briefly and found the old track heading up the hill. Reasonable higher up the hill and avoids the new conifers and associated holes.garbo110320/11/2022
Parked on minor road to the south at pt304m, SW of Wester Altourie. Walked along the GGW path then across heather to gate in deer fence at NH574 405. Climbed the locked gate, then rough ground of newly-planted conifers to the summit. Great views. Solo.Dangerous Dave08/11/2022

Plenty of parking a few yards up the track at NG591408, followed forestry tracks up past lochan then clear path up through gate to summit. Could be boggy near the top.nicolajane09/06/2022
As per LizH, easy but grim - water logged and churned up by cyclists.Isbjorn26/02/2022
From Easter Altourie. The supposed track on the 1:25k is no more and a largely failed plantation presents treacherous holes most of the way up. Cracking viewpoint at least.sclater04/12/2021
Not as pleasant as I'd hoped. The track on my 50K map from buildings to S is non existent apart from gate in new deer fence surrounding new plantings. Having told my wife it was going to be gorgeous I was reprimanded for inadequate research.jimbloomer07/06/2021
A lovely walk along a forest track from Blackfold, heading up to the summit cairn on a smaller path through newly planted pine once about two-thirds round a gorgeous wee loch. The path from Easter Altourie no longer exists.summitter01/09/2020

Pleasant forest walk up from Blackfold.willyross26/06/2019
From the forest track just east of Blackfold, marked as part of the Great Glen Way. Followed the forest tracks up to the lochan, then the path from NH58024 41338, all the way to the summit. Pleasant walk, with good views from the summit.LizH20/05/2019

Ascended from the south. A heathery hill, although the new Great Glen path gave a bit of help.JohnW22/04/2012
