Don’t believe the slope guide - the final section hits 17 to 22％ at the top. Only the cows and sheep around to gaze on in apathetic testimony to your suffering and you wonder why anyone would want to do this…until you see the magnificent view from the top.

Starts very shy, but near the top is real killer climb. Descent on the other side will take you to beautiful valley.Worth doing from both sides.
