Hikers must register in advance and provide a deposit that is returned once the group is complete. Strong footwear and plenty of water are essential, as the trail remains consistently steep throughout.
Local hikers nicknamed it 'Knee-Weakening Mountain' because the constant steep climbs and descents test leg strength in ways many underestimate. The downhill portion often proves more physically demanding than the ascent.
