Incredible climb with...

emmabates, Mar 2025

Incredible and difficult climb with impressive views but not for anyone with fear of heights, no climbing experience or without a very high level of fitness (or appropriate footwear). Guide was incredible as were the views but don’t be fooled by the word hike, was more a climb for the entire time
