The Northern Circuit is the longest and also the most remote
route. The longer itinerary means that it has a good acclimatization profile. You can naturally "walk high,

a tough summit night approaching via Gilman's Point. You will be trekking for long periods of
time so a good level of fitness and stamina is recommended.
