This summit is near the point at which quite a few footpaths converge, offering multiple ways up to this section of the Black Mountains. That makes it feasible – if you can find somewhere to park – to complete a simple up and back to this summit. However, if you have made it this far and walked the above route then you will be tempted to carry on around to Waun Fach and Pen y Gadair Fawr which dominate this part of the skyline.
