点评:A fascinating climb that can be covered in one day.
Definitely Not advisable for climbing SOLO as there are few tricky spots up top where it's better to have some assist.Besides the mountain is located way off houses of people so in the event of a slight injury you might need to walk down well over 2km for help.
But if a team of two or more could take on the challenge which is not too risky much of the way. Two possible trail heads- one from the village of Poththapitiya [better for mixed teams] and the other from near the Ihalakotte railway station. Ascent is moderate from Potthapitiya with only the very last part of the climb being tricky through boulders[be watchful there, since even an injury of a small level could make things difficult due to medical help being way below and far.] The other end of the summit has a sharp 40ft precipice which experienced climber could scale down with the help of a rope .Climb down is possible to either trail head. leach activity is likely during the wet months. Water sources not available close to the summit so the campers need to bring supplies up. Views are breathtaking but be extremely careful if camping is done at the summit[ not advisable] Do not venture too far off since the sheer precipice is just feet away. Rains and heavy wind could make things very challenging at the summit and its best to avoid climbing during the rainy months.
Trail is clean.
BRING BACK ALL YOU TAKE UP THERE.
PLEASE BRING THINGS LEFT BY IRRESPONSIBLE PEOPLE if you find any.
翻译:这是一次可以在一天内完成的迷人攀登活动。
绝对不建议单独攀登,因为山顶上有一些棘手的地方,最好有人协助。此外,这座山距离人们的房屋很远,因此如果发生轻微受伤,您可能需要步行 2 公里以上才能到达山顶帮助。
但如果两个或更多人组成的团队可以接受挑战,那么风险就不会太大。两条可能的路线起点 - 一条来自 Poththapitiya 村(更适合混合团队),另一条来自 Ihalakotte 火车站附近。从 Potthapitiya 出发的攀登过程很温和,只有最后一段攀登的部分在巨石中比较棘手[在那里要小心,因为即使是小程度的伤害也会因为医疗救助远远低于和遥远而使事情变得困难。]山顶有一个 40 英尺高的陡峭悬崖,经验丰富的登山者可以借助绳索向下攀爬。可以向下攀登到任何一个步道起点。潮湿的月份可能会发生沥滤活动。山顶附近没有水源,因此露营者需要携带补给品。景色令人叹为观止,但如果在山顶露营,请务必小心[不建议]不要冒险太远,因为陡峭的悬崖就在咫尺之遥。降雨和大风可能会给山顶带来很大的挑战,最好避免在雨季攀登。
步道很干净。
把你带到那里的所有东西都带回来。
如果发现任何不负责任的人留下的东西,请带上。
