Simple top on the way to main summit.
Short Summary created by Colin Murphy,  31 May 2016
The most direct approach is to park at small lay-by (1 car) at L912 650 A E and proceed directly up steep slope in SE direction. Terrain is short grass mostly, and was solid underfoot in late May. Reach the ridge at L917 640 B F after 1 hour 20 minutes and then follow the ridge to the south for 800m to attain the grassy mound at the summit, which is unmarked.
