Initially good road that rises steadily to the cliff base, that leads to the ridge. Dramatic climb that includes scrambling and use of ladders & chains to reach the ridge above. Please note once into the “Lara Croft” section of the climb you are committed to getting to the top as there is no alternative route. Continues along ridge to head of the valley, fire lookout, before return to start point. This walk will be taken at a brisk pace.
