Easier walk than the Pyg, though longer and without the views over the lakes. Good as a return route, or if you just want to visit the lakes and ruins without summiting. Ideal for families looking for an easier day out.

This is the easier path to do. I would not recommend using the path for a first timer due to how it can give a false impression of the difficulty that will occur. If you want to push yourself you can gain alot of time back after reaching the summit using this path.

The Miner's Track is a physical challenge, but you are rewarded with great views.
