About 1500 m is about terrible terrain with no path: stones, slippery ( if you start from the westside: after some hundreds meter no path anymore). We did it from the east and finally gave up and returned.
No recommendation.

If you go clockwise: after a few hundred meters the path ends. No pleasure to go on.
