    How long does it take you? How fast are you moving? Your stats?

    How many calories you burn will be unique to you and your stats. It also depends on the route you take up. If you go up the 'motorway' path it will be easier than some of the more challenging ( off path) routes.
    There are also lots of nicer hills to walk in the Beacons than Pen Y Fan, it depends on your reasons for doing the walk.

    On the route for the Fan Dance I'd go for about 2500, although that depends on the load of the Bergman and anything you're carrying on your hands at the time.

    Me and best friend did it just after Christmas and she is 5'5 and was 11 stone 10 lbs and she her monitor claimed she'd burnt just over 3000 but we went up from the car park where the toilets are and then back down a different way where we came out onto the road with a car park oppersite. Hope that helps

    No one can answer this. If me and my husband climbed it he would burn around 80% more than me.
    Without knowing your stats, distance and gradient it isn't even a stab in the dark.
