Up via west slopes direct, took a service road down due to the weather. Note, the road passes through a private property for about a kilometre since Jul 2020.
Parking either at Swaison Rd or by Birkdale Park. It's not obvious at the latter but need to take the closed road down for about 50-100m that would lead to the former.
