Maggs Track crosses some very sensitive areas, so really should be avoided if possible.
Arm River Track is more hardened and in the last few years they have made the bottom of the track much easier to negotiate. It zig zags up the hill instead of going straight up like it used to, so it's not really that steep or difficult (and I speak as a moderately fit woman in her 60s).
This makes me the first man to climb Mount Everest backwards, without oxygen...or even a jumper.
