| To say this is a very steep track would be a bit of an understatement. I found the climb gruelling and I'm relatively fit. Within two minutes of starting I was struggling. The climb is relentless all the way to the top, the gradient doesn't really back off at all. I felt like I was going at a snail's pace but made it to the top in 16 minutes. Reading other comments though and maybe it seems I went a bit too hard. It started to rain once I reached the top which was refreshing but not great for coming back down. The descent is equally as taxing on the body as you really have to use the muscles in your thighs. Would not recommend this climb to anyone who has question marks about their fitness. The view at the top was ok but not exceptional. You can get to the first level of the fire tower but from there you can barely see over the canopy. Seeing the rain clouds envelop the other mountains and the mist rising from the dense forests below was quite a sight though. |
