This part of the trail is steep and rocky and you should be careful while passing through that place. It is not a problem if the weather is good during the summer, but I believe it could be risky when it is rainy or wet. In the summer when it is dry, it shouldn't be a problem for an average tourist, even though you can help yourself by holding the rock with hands at one or two of the more difficult steps.

This part can be dangerous if the rocks are wet.
The view after the climb deserves the effort here :)
