Welcome to the Forum, @Waikato!

First, no worries about your age - - plenty of folks right there with you, some even more "time-experienced".

The walk over the mountains (yes, there are two routes) is hard but part of that is it is at the very beginning before you have hardened to the exercise.

Good luck and Buen Camino
