This walk is quite quick, unfortunately you cannot go all the way to the top anymore and there is a sign stopping you but the view half way is pretty sweet. It again is quite steep but managable - just take your water and sun hat and you will be fine.

The top of the rock is no longer accessible. But the walk half way up is still definitely worth it. Such beautiful scenery and uninterrupted views from up there. PS, there are a few caves in the rock. Just walk around and you'll find them.
