I visit the place last Sunday and can only say this; do not come Friday to Sunday or public holiday's even if it gets better as you near the top, the way up wasn't fun as we sometimes stood still for 10-20 minutes (see pics). 

Our guide assured us that Monday to Thursday was much better, even if you get a time later you will be let in when you arrive and try to be there before 7 and especially if on a weekend.

BTW there is no shops so make sure to bring enough water!
