Short cuts may reduce the distance around 4ml but short cuts doesn’t have proper signs , and one need to get down and claim back around 40feet scrambling down a rocky ledge, rocks can crumble, causing you to fall!!. Please note most of the time there will be no string or support , these paves are very fragile .The rocky scramble requires scooting and climbing to reach the bottom, but if you take full precaution it’s doable.
I am not that athletic, but I was able to do it!! Check out this video and decide if you can do it or not!
