Description
Nice hike, however in winter when upper region is snow covered and the ropes are frozen dangerous without equipment. In summer i presume a lovely hoke with climbing equipment.
Difficulty
Severe
Hiking challenging trails where simple scrambling, with the occasional use of the hands, is a distinct possibility. The trails are often filled with all manner of obstacles both small and large, and the hills are very steep. Obstacles and challenges are often unexpected and can be unpredictable.
