High and "easy" If you are well trained, with enough experience and with good equipment, you will made it in less than 24 hours. Day 1: To 2800 to 4600 with big backpack (no rivers on the mountain: you need to bring all the water you need). It's just 9 km. You can made it in 4 o 5 hours Day 2: to 4600 to 5822.
