From Auchinleck Bridge car park. A boring forestry logging road followed by a boggy firebreak followed by a tussocky ascent followed by a marvellous view.

A joint visit with coinea on the Minigaff triggers weekend. A pleasant walk along the forest drive which approached a lot closer to the hill than the map showed and was definitely drivable and would have saved a lot of time. This was my first pillar seen without a flush bracket.
