Itinerary description

It was really really amazing...! From the hut the first section is quite steep and strenuous, then the second, you will get into the forest and the atmosphere is pretty nice. well marked and it's hard to get lost. Then here comes really relaxing and flat, easy walk. Finally there's scree slope with no marks. You just need to go up there from the last pole. Extreme care required. Btw, don't just climb up the scree from the beginning. If you go to the right side(not to the left) you will see broken pole and there's actually trail. The doc website says last 400m is scree slope but it is not actually scree. It was easier than I thought. And first half way is like that and the rest half is a good walkway. It feels amazing when you get to the summit. Moderately challenging. I loved it.
