Posted elsewhere but this place is magical IF THE CONDITIONS AND AUTHORITIES LET YOU.
Because the mountain is so much higher than everywhere else around the sunsets and the sunrises are phenomenal. Do not come up here early. An hour before sunset is fine. Do not come up here if you have not checked out the weather forecast. A little breeze down the bottom could mean a gale at the top. People's gas tanks have frozen up here in the summer. We have seen kids at the bottom still freezing having cycled down and nigh on suffering from hypothermia. Locals sell cycle coats at the top for hyper inflated prices. You have been warned. It took us about 8 years before the weather conditions were right. We got up in the night to look at the stars as well with the unpoluted skies and being closer to them making the Milky Way far more visible
