Itinerary description
Do NOT attempt as it appears here- it is VERY dangerous and unmarked.
Let me repeat this: Do NOT attempt the trail as it appears here, as there is a good chance you might get stranded.
What I suggest you do instead is get to the military base (marked on my path at 1656m elevation) and then go back and do the path in reverse.
Oh and please, under no circumstances, not even for the adrelanine rush, please do NOT attempt the path appearing after that point. From a point onwards, there is no clear path. I suppose that maybe there must have been a trail there which hasn't been used in years, and eventually got crushed by the falling rocks.
It is a VERY steep descent, and there were a few instances where I felt that it wasn't doable (but eventually found a way- though I'd be lying if I said I did not panic).
Due to the steep descent, once you commit to it, there is no turning back.
I also had to stop the recording a bit early, as my phone died.
