It was a tough climb more or less straight out the blocks or for me a tough walk, though I have discovered a better way to carry the bike, wheels forward. The rocks are quite loose making it extra challenging. There is also no warm up in the descent, it is a straight down from the word go. We all made it down with not too much damage.

We met Elke who advised us to go in a clockwise direction up the walkers path and down the Stank Glen. Even this way most of it was a push for me, Al managed more climbing and water bar negotiating though. The descent was a great mixture of everything from summit to wooded glen and quiet. Yes possible to do in reverse too. I think there must be a Stank Glen loop out there
