A superb hike for all, can be difficult on descending, please watch out of mist forming and descend straight away. Only go if you have hiking footwear otherwise you could slip quite easily and end up in A&E!!!

A magnificent hike, but only for experienced climbers. This route is quite tough and needs full mountain attire. Boots are a requirement, a fully charged phone, food and water supplies. Always go with someone and tell others where you are going and what time to expect your return. Please research well before you attempt it.
