Random hike but worth it. Clockwise route gives a very steep start with the first summit reached quickly. Descent involves exposed down climbing with scrambling sections. After dropping, a second climb leads to the next summit which is more straightforward. The Horns section is at least Grade 1 with short sections that may feel like Grade 2, though can be bypassed.
