Itinerary description
Traditional route from Hotel to peak and return. There a Grade C scramble just before the summit which may challenge the faint of heart. Otherwise fairly easy peak above the 3000m ASL mark.
Walking expect to take 10 hrs.
Running expect to take 5hrs.

A great hike. We followed your path to the base of the summit. Amazing scenery, many 360 degree views. Thanks for posting!

Absolutely stunning views the whole way there and back!
I got lost in the bottom third approximately and ended up near a cave, I missed a crossing and instead of heading left I headed right just before a sort of cliff. The route is perfect, if you find yourself a little ways away, you're not on the right path.
Technically not difficult most of the way, but physically it's a little more demanding due to the vertical gain. Totally worth it though!
awesome hike,camping on flat spot and summit the next day ......super

If you want to insure other people during the scramblings before the summit, a 15 metres rope can be fix at the top of every difficult parts.
