Itinerary description
|
Short excursion to climb the neighboring rock of Sigiriya (Reón Rock). It is well worth the short effort for the spectacular views of the other "rock", however, if you go up like we did at 3 in the afternoon, you will only sweat a little.
It has been classified as moderate difficulty due to the last step to access the top, which is a bit of a climb.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THE DIFFICULTY WITH WHICH I CATALOG MY ROUTES IS REFERRED TO MOUNTAINEERS USUAL TO WALKING, WHO CARRY WITH PROFICIENCY ON ALL TERRAINS, NOT FOR OCCASIONAL HIkers. IF YOU HAVE LITTLE EXPERIENCE, ADD ONE MORE DEGREE TO THE DIFFICULTY OF MY ROUTES SO THAT YOU DO NOT GET ANY SURPRISES.
Notice: The routes described here, as well as the GPS tracks, are merely indicative. The safety measures specific to each itinerary are the responsibility of the person who carries them out, which will depend on the weather conditions and the physical and technical preparation of the person carrying it out. All the information available here is informative, and the authors are exempt from any responsibility for any mishap that may be suffered by those who voluntarily or voluntarily carry out the route.
