| Solo. Evening stroll from parking at chapel to north. Path on the right hand side of wall which goes up mountain from the NNW. Superb clarity and viewpoint. | Nick Canute | 04/06/2023 |
| From the chapel at 72681 31543, south on the track then up at the side of the wall which is quite steep and rocky in parts including a bit of a scramble where the other wall crosses. Great views of the Rhinogs and other mountains. | clivevilla | 27/03/2023 |

| From chapel CP, along cycleway, over wall where broken and then up through young bracken on faint paths. Then another wall crossing and through heather and bilbury to the top. Two cairned summits but the furthest one seemed highest to me. Glorious morning, good hill. | Herbert Anchovy | 28/05/2018 |

| From Bronaber, great little hill. | Taz38 | 01/08/2017 |
| Parked by chapel to North 727 315, followed road then ascended from North along side of wall which leads to summit area. Lots of ferns but there is a path of sorts to follow right next to wall. Descended to SW to join up again with Roman road and return to chapel(mistake, hard going should have returned way I came up). | Rob50 | 12/07/2017 |
| From Bryn-pig. Descended north-west over rough ground to a track, following it north to the road. Took this SW, then on byway south along ridge, leaving it to follow a high wall south, steeply up at first. Left it to climb to the summit. To descend, returned north, following branch track and RoW down to the lane. Followed this south to the Afon Gain, then permissive path back to Pont dol y mynach. Solo. | Man of Kernow1 | 17/04/2017 |
