Straightforward ascent on well marked footpaths
We parked in the Glenmore Visitor Centre car park from which the footpath started. The ascent to the summit of around 4 km was on a well made stone footpath, with a gradual gradient most of the way.
The summit has a large Cairn and some shelter from the wind and I was able to set up my sotapole/bandhopper antenna with some reasonable height at the centre.
I managed just 5 QSOs on 20m and did not want to spend much more time exploring other bands as the icy wind was starting to compromise the antenna. I did spot and call on 2m FM, but no takers (very little population in line of sight).
Overall a nice summit, easily accessible and with plenty of space to set up and activate.
