点评:Went up the Pony Path on a mercifully clear , if cool, day (a relief after a recent bad weather experience in the Lake district !) Ascent is strenuous enough I suppose ; quite steep in parts ; but only a couple of really scrambly bits , most notably just before the summit. Otherwise either rocky steps or flat sections , all easy enough. For the most part the path is clear and you can see where it is leading as long as visibility is OK so hard to get lost. Anyone moderately fit won't have a problem.
Took me about 2hours 20minutes to go up and similar on descent , including photo stops : and there are plenty of lovely views to enjoy , either en route or from the top.
They say if you spend the night on top (presumably in the stone "hut" just below the summit) you will either go mad or come down as a poet : I declined to test the theory ;)
Not as crowded as many popular climbs and easily accessible from the well maintained car park (though the co-ordinates for said car park are only "approximate" so you might need to drive a little further to find same)
Recommend to anyone who loves the mountains.
翻译:天气晴朗,略带凉意,沿着小马道攀登(最近在湖区经历了一场恶劣天气后,终于松了一口气!)我想上山的路程已经够艰难了;有些路段相当陡峭;但只有几处路段真正难爬,尤其是在接近山顶之前。除此之外,要么是岩石台阶,要么是平坦的路段,都很容易爬。大部分路段都很清晰,只要能见度好,就能看到路的走向,所以很难迷路。任何体能适中的人都不会遇到问题。
我上山花了大约2小时20分钟,下山也差不多,包括中途的拍照时间:无论是在途中还是在山顶,都有很多美丽的景色可以欣赏。
据说如果你在山顶过夜(大概是在山顶下方的石头“小屋”里),你要么会发疯,要么会像诗人一样下山:我拒绝验证这个说法 ;)
这里不像许多热门登山路线那样拥挤,而且从维护良好的停车场很容易到达(虽然停车场的坐标只是“大概”,所以你可能需要开远一点才能找到)。
推荐给所有热爱山峰的人。
