    Tips

    Not the most technical, no, this is a packhorse doubletrack all the way, with everything that entails, but it's still a stiff climb in both length and height. Your legs will certainly know about it by the time you reach the top.

    Happily, there's then the long descent as a reward. If you're travelling south to north, expect more steepness, some testing switchbacks which can get somewhat drifty if you get carried away, and (surprise surprise) some properly spectacular views.

      This is a walkers route. Very steep and in the wet, unridable duo being too slippy. A pro or extremely talented individual might make it but I would like to see it.
