Hiking
Fantastic viewpoint on a good day - save yourself the trouble if you are going up when everything is in a clag. The way up is very steep and up to 450m full of heather and some boggy sections. After that steep, but on good grassy. The ridge is such an enjoyable walk and the views to the cuillins and the surrounding islands are hard to be had on any of the surrounding hills.

Hiking
The furthest North of Skye's Red Hills, with a distinctive, almost cartoon-esque shape from certain angles.
Most routes up to the summit are steep and unrelenting, as the paths are somewhat direct, but the views from the summit will certainly make up for that.

Hiking
Most easily climbed from the North Eastern end from the layby near the golf course at Sconser. The Sligachan end is a very steep scree slope, as is the connecting ridge to Beinn Dearg Mhor. Fabulous views in good weather!
