| Up tourist track starting at the Youth Hostel. I managed to get up fairly easilly despite one or two crutch-unfriendly-steep sections. Two runners passed me on the way up. I met them coming down near the top and one of them asked if he coud take a photo of me to go on social media. Apparantly he runs a website wit the aim of encouraging youngsters to be more active! | GordonAdshead | 06/11/2019 |
| Easy up and down the viewpoint trail, had to bag this one after seeing it from our holiday cottage in Aviemore all the time, neat little summit and great viewpoint of the Cairngorms, no one else about. Showers on way down. | DanTrig | 20/06/2019 |
| Followed the 'viewpoint' trail in the nature reserve. Kept following the path beyond the viewpoint itself for a while and reached the cairn at the top. | sjb | 01/04/2019 |

| From ESE, P near YH, sunny ascent to celebrate Colin's 7000th Tump, then back to watch a couple of AA van's trying to get into Dugswell's new Skoda, which was even more entertaining than trying to work out which is the HP - outcrop at W edge of cairn, with outcrop 10m N equal and all others lower, according to my hand level | RHW | 10/06/2018 |

| On way north for a few days. An easy walk on a fine path to a good viewpoint. | hillsman | 02/05/2017 |
| Great hill, great views. Good easy path all the way up via north ridge. Came down south from summit. The path south does carry on all the way down but is steeper, slippier and much less used, might be hard to follow as a way up. | alda | 29/12/2016 |
| A good track through a pleasant forest to the summit. | JohnW | 13/04/2016 |
