点评:We felt a little weary reading all the intense warnings to be prepared with proper hiking shoes and experience. All I can say is, it wasn’t as intense as we read! Me (30yo Asian female) and my partner (30yo White male) had a great time! I would not say I’m an experienced hiker!!
- We wore: New Balance sneakers and Blundstones. Leggings/jeans. Backpack with a few snacks and a 1.5L bottle of water.
- Time: 1.5hrs up taking our time with breaks. 1hr down with no breaks needed. At 8:30am car park was pretty empty and we only bumped into a few people on the way up. Coming down was busier.
- Intensity: down on all fours or climbing up for about 1/3 of the trip, mostly towards the top. Some patches you could tell was less grip so recommend walking on the darker rock surfaces! But overall there wasn’t a big fear of slipping if you take your time and look where you’re going. Trip down had my quads going! Recommend taking your time and squatting, stepping sideways, or sliding on your butt to save your knees and from slipping! My hands got a little worn from all the pushing and using my hands to climb down, so gloves would be nice. I’m not an avid hiker and usually struggle with long hikes (Fibromyalgia) but this one went super fast bc the climbing was a nice distraction and added to the fun!
- About us: 30yo, slim build, average to regular fitness, little to medium hiking experience.
- View: Gorg! Definitely recommend doing the challenging hike!! Take a sweet treat to reward yourself at the top.
翻译:之前看到各种警告,说要穿合适的登山鞋,还要有经验,我们有点担心。但实际上,并没有我们想象的那么可怕!我和我的伴侣(30岁的亚裔女性,30岁的白人男性)玩得很开心!我可不敢说自己是个经验丰富的徒步者!
- 我们穿的是:New Balance运动鞋和Blundstone登山靴,紧身裤/牛仔裤,背包里装了一些零食和一瓶1.5升的水。
- 用时:上山花了1.5小时,我们慢慢走,中间休息了几次。下山花了1小时,没有休息。早上8:30停车场很空,上山途中只碰到了几个人。下山的时候人就多了。
- 强度:大约三分之一的路程需要手脚并用下山,或者爬山,主要是在接近山顶的时候。有些地方的岩石比较滑,所以建议走颜色较深的岩石!但总的来说,只要你放慢速度,注意脚下,就不用担心滑倒。下山的时候我的大腿肌肉都酸痛了!建议大家放慢速度,蹲下、侧身或者用屁股滑下去,这样可以保护膝盖,防止滑倒!因为要用手推,我的手有点酸,所以戴手套会很舒服。我不是个徒步爱好者,通常长途徒步对我来说很吃力(我有纤维肌痛),但这次走得特别快,因为爬山本身就很有趣,也分散了我的注意力!
- 关于我们:30岁,身材偏瘦,体能中等,徒步经验不多。
- 景色:美极了!强烈推荐挑战这条路线!!记得带点甜点,在山顶犒劳一下自己。
