It was harder than I thought it would be but did it from wray 1h40 out and 1h10 back , fantastic views. Loved the middle of nowhere vibe took it easy as it was tricky in places stepped off few times , it was a hard tail but yeah a full suspension would have been more comfortable. Found it easier coming back despite the head wind
