Routes

Blidit → bibir kawah / crater rim

Curam dan berbatu / Steep and rocky

Hingga 3 jam naik; turun melalui jalur yang sama / Up to 3 hours up; return by the same trail

From above Blidit, the trail crosses open woodland and loose rocky slopes to the low crater rim. This route ends at the rim; the cliffs to the highest summit are not a normal hiking continuation. Carry water and confirm access before climbing.
