Not that bad. The most challenging thing in many cases was figuring out the best approach or best retreat. We are both in our 50's (read old, tired knees
) and not in great shape, but we made it. I am sure there were more difficult approaches for some of the peaks, but we typically took longer approaches looking for some type of unofficial trail or animal trail, rather than thrashing through the brush. As far as the climbing, there was nothing more than what I would think of as "steps", although it was moderately steep in some places. In any case, it was great fun and seemed much more adventuresome than simply walking up the side of the main peak with the rest of the mob.
I wish we had known about the cave....I guess that will be something new and different for next time.
