What to expect
Expect a steady uphill slog using your arms and legs to pull yourself along steel cables anchored into rock faces. The route isn't relentlessly vertical—there's plenty of walking between the more exposed pitches. Your guide will brief you on harness use and clipping in before you start. The scramble builds in intensity as you gain altitude, but exposure is manageable if you've got reasonable fitness and no fear of heights. Bring a litre or two of water and nibbles; you'll want them on the way up.
Good to know
You must arrive fit enough to walk briskly for 6–7 hours non-stop. Bring your own backpack, water (2L in summer), snacks, sunglasses, rain jacket, and proper trekking boots. Not suitable if you have spinal issues, pregnancy, cardiovascular weakness, or leg problems.
