Sunday 10 June 2012,
A great walk , it tested my general fitness. I suffer from vertigo, and I found the stone steps near the top, and with a sheer drop below and behind, so VERY un-nerving, that I had to crawl. But my daughter companion, was a great help. For the same reason, I stayed back 5 metres from the top with its 3-sided sheer cliff. I defintely would not recommend the final stage after the saddle, for anyone with vertigo. I wonder why a track to the western peak was not built, it is higher, and appears to be less sheer.
