Easy to navigate, easy till the base of pinnacle. Climbing the pinnacle - first level is easy, second difficult, and last level very difficult.
Thanks for the comment. The last level is indeed very difficult. And due to weathering of rocks, that level is getting even more difficult after every passing year. I remember hiking the same in 2007 when the last level wasn't very difficult then, despite doing it in monsoon.
