This walk is a long slow uphill trek from Succoth past the Narnain Boulders to the path junction separating the direct harder scramble from the longer easier approach to the summit from the north. The walk is planned as a steady challenge group, taken faster than the slow hill walk group. The groups will start together, take the same route but be separated by speed.
