As you navigate the trail, you'll encounter dramatic elevation changes and unforgiving ground conditions that have only been conquered once before. The surrounding landscape offers glimpses of the Southern Highlands terrain, but you'll be too focused on line selection and obstacle avoidance to fully appreciate the scenery.
