Should you choose the one directly ahead, or choose the one on the left. I chose the one of the left and found it a bloody nightmare. In places the erosion is bad I think it might give way. I got to the top but the other way must be better?

So coming from below you do want the one on the left. It is very obvious from the colour of the rocks if you've got the correct one.
