Best
Time
for
walking

hard
because

the
bright
Sunny
day,
otherwise
it's
okey..
when
we
climbing

can
see
There
are
many
memorial
concrete
posts
in
a
particular
distance
I
don't
remember
the
correct
count
of
the
posts
and
its
more
than
10
anyway
way
to
top
is
little
bit
adventures
and
interesting
and
views

cold
wind
gives
a
beautiful
natural
Vibes
