| Power line service track from Garve keeping left at junction. More zig zags in the track than mapped. Cross col then head N over heather to ATV track. Wood Anemones and fresh green star leaved Butterwort. After steep section track fades into heather leaving rough slow going to summit plateau of rough grass/heather/moss. High point unmarked. Also visit the nice cairn on rock outcrop on E edge of summit plateau. Take a more direct line back down the heathery ENE shoulder to join the end of the N branch of the power line service track. OK this time of year as bracken on the lower slopes is dead. | RichardM | 21/04/2024 |
| Parked in the lay-by near Killin Farm at NH 39635 60917. Walked carefully down the A 835 for 400m to the start of the hydro-track. It is possible to park a few cars there without blocking access. Took the track up to the col. From there a faint overgrown ATV track winds up to the summit, starting obscurely at NH 39526 59787. Returned by outward route. 7.1km, with 325m of ascent. | Man of Kernow1 | 11/08/2023 |
| Used the Hydro track then rough road to the high point | Andrew Simmons | 28/06/2023 |
| Straight hack up through woods and head-high bracken, then heather. Dreadful route. Descent three times as long and only marginally better. | AndyS | 15/08/2022 |
| Same route as Liz. Worked fine. With B and R. | jenx | 06/06/2022 |

| Same route as LizH. Definitely shorter to return by more direct downhill route. | willyross | 28/04/2020 |
| Up on the track from the A835 to just beyond the top of the beallach, then over an area of heather burning, and followed evidence of a vehicle track to the summit. Descended more directly to another section of track under the pylons. Good views from the summit. | LizH | 16/07/2019 |
| With big J | Nozzer | 17/10/2018 |
| Ascended after a trip up the nearby Marilyn. Good views. Well worth doing. | BigJ | 17/10/2018 |
| After adjacent Marylin, heather moor. Direct route down through dying bracken. | cjo | 05/10/2018 |

| After Carn Faire nan Con via the motorway. | Chris Peart | 10/06/2016 |
| Heathery hill with largeish cairn and view down Loch Garve. From SE, NH398603, parking on verge just S of start of track. Beeline best, keeping below heathery upper slopes, but could be different during bracken season. | RHW | 13/02/2010 |
