From the A 832 near the house at the base of Glen Grudie. Took the stalker's path up Glen Grudie, and lesser path up Coire Briste, diverting off it higher up to climb steep slopes to the plateau. Once there, an easy walk to the summit cairn. Descended by the pathless north-east ridge back to the Glen Grudie path again. Solo.
Hot and sunny, with a brisk southerly wind that kept the midges down.
