If it were in Scotland, it would be a Munro.
It has a couple of interesting ways to the summit in winter conditions - It's a lot more than a long boggy plod. The Whitewater Dash waterfall on its northern flanks can give good sport in a really hard winter (fat chance we'll se that frozen again in a hurry)
