Easy start to this walk from large car park at Brae of Foss onto the path that goes up the east ridge of the mountain,zig zaging most of the way until higher up the path becomes pretty faint,but in clear weather no real difficultys in good weather which we had until 20 min from summit when it clagged in,the wind got up to a gale and the rain came down,which made the last 20min clambering over large slabs very slippery,did not linger to long at top where we could hardly stand up.
Not one of my favourit hills im afraid,atleast the company was good with Alan and my 2 dogs :(
