Jinhua's father and son got lost climbing the mountain, and more than 40 people were rescued late at night. How to tell the direction when climbing a mountain?

We can use a compass to tell the direction. Generally, a high-quality compass is a necessary equipment in the field mountaineering. The compass needle points to the north of the magnetic field, which is far from the true north direction. However, we can get the accurate direction by calculating the difference of magnetic field deflection angle, and we can rely on nature to identify the direction. If the weather is clear, Polaris usually points to the north.

In the process of climbing a mountain, if you want to judge the direction, you'd better carry a compass or compass. Generally, the compass points to the north of the magnetic field, which has a certain magnetic field angle deviation from the real north. If we can get the real direction through the corresponding calculation, if it is sunny, we can rely on Polaris to help us point out the direction. The direction of Polaris is generally due north, so we can go out in this direction.

We can judge the general direction directly by the growth of plants. Generally, the dense growth direction of trees is the south, and the sparse side is the north. In addition, we can directly observe the tree rings to help judge the direction. Tree rings are sparse on one side and face north on the other. These methods can help us to judge the general direction to a great extent. If it is in heavy rain, we can only make a concrete judgment by the growth of trees in nature and the annual rings of trees, but for most of us, we still need to find a local guide or bring corresponding equipment during the mountaineering process.

In the process of mountaineering, the above methods can help us to judge the direction, but it should be noted that if you don't have any mountaineering experience, you'd better not do it, because if you get lost in the process of mountaineering, the consequences will be really serious and you may lose your life, so don't let yourself regret it for a lifetime.
