The hill is very aptly named meaning - hill of the cold slopes.. wasnt too cold a day, possibly 2 - 3°C, although the biting icy wind meant the temperature felt well into minus territory.
I managed to get about half a dozen photos from the top, but no more as I pulled my glove off to change some settings on the camera and within a minute couldnt feel my fingers.
It is quite a decent path for most of the way although the last couple of km or so can be quite boggy in places.

A very straightforward walk, enjoyable enough as a short day out with some nice views
