    Beautiful sceneries. The trail is sometimes very steep and parts of it require to walk (and almost climb) on stones that can be a bit slickly due to the water or rain.
    We made it in approximately 6 hours, breaks included (standard hikers, used to hike and with good material but with no special training).

    I’m pretty fit, but not an experienced climber. This is a tricky climb. I came down the same way as I went up. The descent route looked harder and other climbers advised against it.
