点评:As a reasonably fit 65 year old woman who hiked up Mount Sabinyo, Uganda in June (which involves quite a few rustic ladders) and the 3 passes in Nepal last November, I assumed correctly that I would be able to climb the Mulu Pinnacles without any trouble—our group of 5 left camp at 06.25 and were back at 13.35. I took the ascent at my own pace arriving at the summit 9 minutes behind the rest of my group (all under 35 years old) and actually found the last section with the ladders and the ropes the most enjoyable. The view at the top was sadly not as awe inspiring as I expected.
We were so lucky to have perfect weather (summiting was cancelled a few days before due to rain) and our guides were really good at allowing us to be independent of them. I didn’t feel that the gloves I had taken were necessary but I definitely needed my poles as I am very used to using them for this type of tree root and rocky ascent, so I very fortunately ignored the briefing advice not to take them. I also wore my old faithful heavy leather hiking boots which were not a problem at all on the ladders or terrain in the dry weather that we had.
翻译:作为一名体格健壮的 65 岁女性,我于 6 月徒步攀登了乌干达的萨比尼奥山(途中经过了不少简易梯子),并于去年 11 月翻越了尼泊尔的 3 个山口,我正确地认为自己能够毫无困难地攀登穆鲁峰——我们 5 人小组于 06.25 离开营地,13.35 返回。我按照自己的节奏攀登,比团队其他成员(年龄都在 35 岁以下)晚 9 分钟到达山顶,实际上我发现最后一段有梯子和绳索的路段最有趣。遗憾的是,山顶的景色并不像我预期的那样令人惊叹。
我们很幸运,天气非常好(几天前由于下雨取消了登顶计划),我们的导游非常善于让我们独立于他们。我觉得我带的手套没必要,但我绝对需要手杖,因为我非常习惯在这种树根和岩石上攀登时使用它们,所以我非常幸运地忽略了简报中不带它们的建议。我还穿着我那双老旧的厚重皮革登山靴,在我们遇到的干燥天气里,在梯子或地形上穿这双靴子一点问题都没有。
