  1. Does this activity require hiking experience?
    Coz i'm only experienced at hours of walk if that even counts.
    I really want to try this one though it will be my 1st time

    1. Yes, a little bit of hiking experience maybe and more endurance in walking. It was my first major climb and wanting to finish the climb added to the strength though it was soo tiring. Good luck
