Notes and recommendations

I recommened wearing crampons or spikes on your boots when there is snow on the trail, the ascent can be at times quite technical (yet it is not wildly difficult).

I would also recommend wearing a helmet, especially when there are many people climbing up on a given day (loose rock may come down).
