    This path is very steep and treacherous with lose rocks and scree, so take care if you go up or down this way. It only cuts out one zig zag, so it may not be worth the extra effort.

      The short cut is a steep path but I do recommend sticking to the main route. Especially in bad weather

        Shorter is not always faster.
