Something I noticed and enjoyed was the fact that despite the steep gradients on the upper reaches of the red and black routes, the trails snaked their way up the mountainside following the contours, using switchbacks to keep the flow going. This is a massive plus as you aren’t stuck slogging up a super steep road for long sections.
