We did this hike in about an hour and Java had no trouble with any of the sections. Sections do get a little steep but it’s well worth the hike for the nice views at the summit. This is a pretty isolated hike and would I would recommend for hikers looking for a bit of a challenge that ends with a nice rewarding view.
