Because of its position, it is the first of the [[Welsh 3000s]] reached when doing this walk from the northern end. It can be climbed by driving up the small road signposted "[[Aber Falls]]" in the village of [[Abergwyngregyn]], passing the [[car park]] for the falls and continuing to a small car park at the end of the road. From there it is possible to take the track bearing left, later turning right to the summit of [[Drum (Wales)|Drum]] and continuing along the ridge, or to take the track leading straight on to Llyn Anafon and then climbing up to the ridge between Drum and Foel Fras.
