Standard route
grass slopes 60% · heather patches 30% · rocky summit 10%
Start from the Glen Devon road and follow forestry tracks before breaking onto open hillside for the final pull to the summit. A wooded approach gives way to grassy upper ground. Around 8km and 2-3 hours.
Terrain
Forest plantations on the lower slopes give way to short grass and bilberry on the summit dome. Forestry tracks are firm and easy underfoot, but the open ground can be tussocky.
In winter
A solid short-day winter outing once frost has firmed the boggier patches. The forest sections offer welcome shelter when winds hammer the higher Ochils to the north.
