| Good parking at start of track at 864308, then various route finding and strew misadventures. Probably the best route is to leave the track at the bend at 867309 then up steeply onto the ridge at 870310. From here there is plenty of open ground, albeit soft and tussocky. | Topographer57 | 25/06/2024 |
| Forest track from the SW. | Andrew Simmons | 23/03/2024 |
| I attempted to follow RHW's route but felling and windblown trees obstructed progress. I had an easier descent N from the summit to NG 87652 31840 then NW to meet the forest road at NG 87585 31893 which would be a better (though steep) ascent route. | Jim.Fothergill | 20/05/2019 |

| From SW, follow forest track to its hp (log pile) then up to E, keeping a bit L of beeline, passing L of dense windthrow then steeply up thru open forest. Tussocky hp at N edge of small clearing. | RHW | 22/07/2017 |
| Via forest track from from SE. Some windfalls hindered progress in forest. | jimbloomer | 05/05/2015 |
