Very impressive hike and a very interesting approach of the Magaro Peak which I was not aware of! How well do-able is that steep ascent? Is it overgrown?
I also noticed you have pepperspray with you :-) Did you ever need to use it? Against bears or the shepherds dogs?
The ascent to Magaro is steep but the terrain is ok, there is one rock garden (about 100m) the rest is short grass.
The pepperspray was just a precation against dogs :) i never needed it.
Thanks Boban! The dogs have scared me more than once but never attacked :-)
