点评:My mate and I hiked up Ben Wyvis on Tuesday as part of a two-day ‘Bagging’ stint, in and around the Inverness area.
The car park was easily accessible from the A835 and clearly signposted on the approach. There was no charge for using it.
The accent itself was moderate for the first 45 minutes, sweeping through a low level forest and following a stream towards its source. As the valley opened, it then steepened as the path began to wind up the south and east faces of the mountain. The crampons were soon needed as the rocks underfoot became dangerously icy. The last 2km was a trudge through fresh snow, surrounded by a rather cold whiteout. It all added to the experience!
We were blessed with some patches of blue sky on our descent and as a backdrop to the snowy surroundings, it made for some good photos. We were back to the car in just under 4 hours and 30 minutes.
In comparison to other Munros, it was a very achievable climb, made more difficult by conditions underfoot. The path as a whole was simple to follow and well maintained. Definitely carry crampons if attempting the climb in February - I’d confidently say that we’d have turned back at the icy section without them. Enjoyed this one, especially the adaptability needed, and was chuffed to tick one off in a new area of Scotland!
翻译:周二,我和我的伙伴徒步登上了本威维斯山,这是为期两天的“Bagging”活动的一部分,活动地点在因弗内斯地区及其周边。
从 A835 可以轻松到达停车场,沿途有清晰的路标。停车场免费使用。
前 45 分钟的路程难度适中,穿过一片低矮的森林,沿着一条小溪向溪流的源头前进。随着山谷的开阔,山路开始蜿蜒向上,山谷变得陡峭。脚下的岩石变得非常危险,很快就需要冰爪了。最后 2 公里是艰难地穿过新雪,周围是相当寒冷的白雪皑皑。这一切都为这次体验锦上添花!
下山时,我们很幸运地看到了几片蓝天,作为白雪皑皑的背景,我们拍了一些不错的照片。不到 4 小时 30 分钟,我们就回到了车上。
与其他 Munros 相比,这是一次非常容易攀登的攀登,但由于脚下的条件而变得更加困难。整个路径很容易走,维护得很好。如果在二月尝试攀登,一定要带上冰爪 - 我可以自信地说,如果没有它们,我们会在结冰的路段折返。很喜欢这次攀登,尤其是需要的适应能力,很高兴能在苏格兰的新地区完成一次攀登!
