Worth it... Despite everything.
Mediterranean Steps的点评
点评：With me being me, and wanting the 'real' experience as per 'the old days' ... I started my trip up the steps on foot covering the 45 minute up hill walk from Casemate Square to the entry gate... On the bright side, if you feel like skipping that bit, you can get a minibus up to the Jews cemetery gate (again from Casemate Square) for £40 which includes the £30 entrance to the nature reserve you will need to pay before your ascent... So it's a tenner to get up to the beginning.
From the entry gate, duck under the chain and start climbing... It's steep from the get-go, the steps are in genuinely pretty poor condition, lose stones and dust underfoot, and some vegetation overhanging here and there. The steps are also not even, some a few inches, some nearly a foot tall, the individual sets of steps are interspersed with rough footpath (usually uphill).
After taking advice (reading Trip advisor reviews) I decided to climb in the cooler early part of the day and that is sage advice. Sage advice also, is 'take a hat' which I neglected 'wear sunglasses' and 'wear stout shoes or boots' again, advice I ignored.. A quarter of the way up and I realised my footwear choice, deck shoes, qualified for dumb decision of the day... Seconded as I rounded the rock into bright hot sunlight at eye level... The lack of sun protection.
Nevertheless... Onward. A little past the half way point there's a former military lookout post... Out of the sun, fantastic view and a good spot to stop to drink and eat the water and energy bar/sandwich/cake you should have bought with you... ...Astonishingly I had actually remembered to bring both, and welcome it was too.
Onward...
by now, if you, like me, are an out of condition, over-weight hypertensive 56 year old man, you'll probably be questioning your life choices by now, and be thinking... 'No one will know if I walk back down and go home'.
DON'T ! You will know...
The last bit's steep, and uneven and knack... I mean, very tiring... But the feeling of elation as you make the last few steps, the views you will have seen and the perfect smugness you WILL feel walking down past all the people who DIDN'T do the steps and paid the full £60 came all the way up to the top in a minibus in an unmissable joy of life.
The walk down... After looking around O'Hara's battery, I took the road route back down to the entrance gate then followed my footstep back to Casemate and a very welcome cold beer with my wife who'd had the sense to stay on the patio and read her book. You could walk back down the steps, but for me... The challenge was the ascent.

翻译：由于我性格使然，又想体验一下“昔日”的那种真实感受……于是我决定徒步沿着台阶向上攀登，从炮台广场出发，进行一段耗时45分钟的 uphill 之旅，直至入口处。不过也有个省事的办法：如果你不想走这段路，可以从炮台广场乘坐小巴直达犹太人公墓的入口处，车费为40英镑；这其中已包含了进入自然保护区的30英镑门票费用——毕竟上山前必须先买票。也就是说，只需花10英镑就能抵达登山起点啦。从入口处钻过链条后开始攀爬……一开始坡度就很陡，台阶的状况实在糟糕：石头松脱，脚下满是尘土，各处还有植物垂挂下来。台阶高度也参差不齐，有的只有几英寸高，有的则接近一英尺高；这些台阶之间还夹杂着崎岖的小径（通常也是上坡路）。在参考了建议（阅读了Trip Advisor上的评论）之后，我决定在一天中较凉爽的时段登山，这确实是个明智的建议。另一条明智的建议是“带上帽子”，可我忽略了这一点；“戴上太阳镜”以及“穿上结实的鞋子或靴子”——这些建议我也都没听进去。才爬了四分之一的路程，我就意识到自己选择的鞋子——那种帆船鞋——简直就是当天的“愚蠢决定”了……当我绕过岩石处进入视野中那强烈刺眼的阳光下时，这点更是得到了印证——我完全没做任何防晒措施。
不过……还是继续前进吧。走到一半稍过一点的地方有个曾经的军事瞭望台……那里避开了阳光，视野绝佳，是个歇脚的好地方——你可以喝点水，吃掉事先买好的能量棒、三明治或蛋糕……说来也怪，我居然记得把这两样都带上了，真是帮了大忙。
继续前进……
此时，如果你和我一样，是个体能欠佳、体重超标且患有高血压的56岁老头，恐怕早已开始怀疑自己的人生选择了，心里在想着……“如果我走回去回家，没人会知道的。”
千万别这么做！你自己会知道的……
最后一段路很陡，而且崎岖不平……我是说，非常累人……但当你迈出最后几步时的那种狂喜感，沿途看到的绝美景色，还有当你从那些没走台阶、乖乖花60英镑坐小型巴士直达山顶的人身边走下时那种无与伦比的得意心情，真是人生一大乐事啊。
下山的路……在参观完奥哈拉炮台之后。我沿着道路返回入口处，然后顺着来时的脚印回到卡塞马特酒馆。在那里，我和妻子痛饮了一杯冰镇啤酒——她可真明智，选择留在露台上看书。其实也可以走台阶走回去，但对我来说……真正的挑战在于往上爬的过程。
