Description
Most people go about 5 km on the route and there is a beautiful stop to enjoy snacks and have a break. WIth limited exposure this is always a great opportunity.
If you continue on past this point you will get to more difficult terrain with fragile crumbly rock and route finding. You will be 7km to the to of the ridge but it does get difficult.
You take the same way back so you get to see those views all the way down.
