When on the top, It can get very windy, but it’s extremely beautiful, so don’t hesitate to go.I would suggest to arrive to the top for the sunset, the sun will disappear just behind the castle’s structure .

You can climb to the westernmost end of the rocky spur on which the castle stands. Very windy, but very beautiful.
