Atene Skyline Hike - occasionally there would be breaks in the heavily forested tramp to look at the river valley below. I agree with publicity that says the slopes are steep. Towards the end of the tramp on narrow ledges with intimidating drop offs either side and wind gusts, I had to use positive self-talk to walk forward. Sometimes even when the scene was breathtaking I could not or would not open up my camera because I was afraid looking down I would lose my nerve. I did wonder many times why I had paid to go on the tramp. While the rock I was walking on appeared to have beautiful sandstone shapes eroded by the forces of the river, I was just concerned by all the bits on the trail that were missing.
