From Dun Saddle, a poled route climbs steeply onto the flat tops of Dun Mountain. A good ground trail exists, but poles are sparse. Once on the tops the route becomes flat and runs 500m NE to the small Dun Hut / Dun Shelter, at the foot of the final climb to the summit.

Note: Described in the reverse direction to your journey

From Dun Hut / Dun Shelter the poled route runs SW across flat tops for 500m, before descending steeply to Dun Saddle. Poles are sparse, but a good ground trail exists. The track junction at the saddle is signposted.
