"The short distance and relatively high start point may suggest this as a possible good mountain for beginners in summer conditions" says Murray Wilkie.

"If you don't mind some short steep steps and getting your hands on the rock once or twice, this is an ideal mountain for a short day or to take someone who is looking to start hill walking. Please note that this hike is a different proposition in the winter with some serious runouts if the mountain is covered in snow!"
