Location: Starts behind the Lower Cable Station as a clear track that mostly follows the line of the cables up the front of the mountain. 

Overview: In spite of all the warning signs that this is not an easy way up or down, it gets attempted by the hordes of locals and visitors either because it is so visible and seems the direct way to the top, or because the Cable Car is not operating. In recent times the one awkward rock section has been secured with stainless steel staples and chains, but there are still many other tricky rock steps that makes this route 'B' scrambling and not a walk.
