The hill is a large convex dome, deeply cut by corries. The whole area is grouse moors and sheep country. The easiest way up the hill is from the north-west where the hamlet of Ardtalnaig lies by the shore of Loch Tay; the north-west ridge is a possible line of ascent and so is following the Gleann a' Chilleine to Dunan and climbing the south ridge.
