If only all hills and mountains were like this! Parking for one car at start. Crossed a gate and continued up a broad, solid grassy track, ignoring the two forks to the left. On the initial approach, Leean looks fairly daunting, but proved not to be so.

This track took me up to about 320m ascent on the western side of the hill. Set off up the steep slope, which was covered in short grass and scattered small rocks. The ground was very solid and it made for easy climbing. Before I knew it, I was at 410m and just to the south of the well-defined summit, which is marked by a trig, and has good views of the Keelogyboys to the west.

A satisfying climb made easy by track and solid ground. Up and down in 75 minutes, including a leisurely stop for lunch.
