Itinerary description

The trail is shown from the top down. It took us 2-1/2 hours up.
The first part of the trail is difficult to find. Follow the road and 4x4 track as far as possible then aim towards the towers. You should be able to find the good horse trail after a km or so. Once on the trail it is easy to follow up to the col. The “thorny” section isn’t bad and is short(waypoints on trail map). There are some springs about half way up if you need water.
Definitely worth the the views from up top!
