Itinerary description
This is a pretty brutal climb, so be prepared for a puffer.
Start with a brief stroll over farmland you'll enter into the mountain sanctuary through a gate. From there take the track to the right for the "new mountain track". From there it's head down and grit your teeth all the way to the top. Once you're over the crest you'll come to a turn off to your left, taking this path will take you to the summit which is now marked with a radio mast, or if you continue on the main path you'll eventually end up at the bottom of the mountain on the southern side (Tari Rd).
Although the elevation is tough, the track is very well maintained the whole way.
