Beautiful mountain. I recommend taking the route from Alma-Arasan as it is easy to navigate. It's quite steep but perfectly manageable. I won't recommend taking the path down the ridge to GES-2 in the summer months (probably fine in other seasons). It is quite overgrown at times, so you will most probably take a wrong turn at some point and then scramble back to path through dense forest. Also, as of this year, it is absolutely infested with deer keds. I took around 50 of them off from my arms and neck during the descent 😬
