An intense hike that I would recommend having a hiking stick for… at least until the rock stairwell begins. The first part of the hike is not technical, it is just the verticality. Even if you are in good condition, it’ll take the wind out out of you.
A part of the hike where you climb the rock stairwell, this part is technical, but it’s a great confidence builder as it makes you consciously think about foot and hand placement and deliberately execute.
Would not recommend the 2nd part of the climb for people...
