Itinerary description
This route includes a 300m ridge that is graded as a Vdiff rock climb, though much of it is essentially scrambling if you are confident. There are several sections where you would want to be roped up and I would say the difficulty level is more like Diff climbing. However there are quite a lot of wobbly rocks along the way - take care and check your holds.
Once at the “Heavenly Gates” viewpoint you start up the fairly obvious slab on your right and simply follow the stepped ridge from there, with short climbing sections interspersed with nice flat belay areas.
Fab views at the top!
