There are a few steps leading up to the rock (easily manageable even with cycling shoes). The path doesn't seem to be very busy—the steps are somewhat overgrown by bushes. But the view from the top is definitely worth it. There's only a small platform at the top, though, with room for a maximum of 10 people.
