    Hard ascent but worth the effort

      June 8, 2024

      Great walking, can get busy in high peak, there are less busy routes to ascend the mountain.

        Climbing via low water can be tricky near the top on a wet day. Quite narrow and very steep. Make sure to take extra caution and wear appropriate footwear
