Beautiful ridge hike with slightly cool and craggy spots in between. The path requires surefootedness and a head for heights and you are rewarded with a sensational view. But you will hardly be traveling alone here. Despite the demanding nature of the trail, it is a well-frequented but very beautiful hiking trail.

This challenging T4 ascent features steep terrain predominantly covered in grassy paths. During the summer months, the thick growth of grass can completely obscure the trail, rendering it virtually indistinguishable from the mountainside. Consequently, hikers often find themselves blazing their own path as the established one disappears.

Unfortunately, the trail suffers from inadequate signage. Faint, weather-worn arrows are painted on the rock walls, but in foggy conditions, they prove exceptionally difficult to spot. To compound the issue, these painted arrows tend to wash away at the end of the rainy season, rendering them invisible. It's worth noting that these arrows are particularly hard to discern when descending the trail, whereas they are somewhat easier to locate when ascending.
