SEX ROCKS AND ROLLS

Ask yourself why before you start
Short Summary created by jackill  23 Sep 2010 Approach this hill from the main road beyond Nad turning off at W43042 86051 (Point A).
You will be driving on a paved road for a kilometer and after that a gravel covered forest track.
You can follow this track down the other side of the hill to W40198 82769 (Point B) but the surface is truly terrible.
Startat a forest entrance W40556 85813 (Point C) and followed a good forest road to W402270 (Point D) 86067, went left up a ride to W39898 86028 (Point E) and left again up a ride to the summit. These rides are awful , full of soft ground, bog , briars and thigh high grasses. The summit (if you can find it for sure) seems to be in a dense clump of conifers.

These rides are awful , full of soft ground, bog , briars and thigh high grasses that seem to tangle your feet with every step. The summit (if you can find it for sure) seems to be in a dense clump of conifers.
Looking at the map now perhaps there is an easier ascent along the track to the west?
The photo shows I hope the density of vegetation at the summit .
On the plus side it only takes an hour to bag , but its been a long time since I've been so wet, dirty and sore.

by thomas_g  6 Apr 2012 Expecting a horrid experience I was pleasantly surprised by the route from the west.
There is a small road at W38850 83800 (Point F) which turns into a rough forestry track, it's drivable in a normal car up to about W394 852 (Point G) where there is space for about 2 cars to park. The road continues if you got something a bit more robust to a small boggy track at W39806 85448 (Point H). This track brings you within 75m of the summit, then you need to dodge through some trees to reach the co-ordinates and there is nothing to mark your achievement, but it's a 20 min bag if you must.
Point F: W38850 83800 Point G: W394 852 Point H: W39806 85448
