What attracts people to the top of Kunlun Mountain?

There is only one success in the world, and that is to spend your life in the way you like!

35 degrees 43 minutes north latitude and 76 degrees 42 minutes east longitude.

This is Gasborough.

1936, by the famous female mountaineer H.DeSegogne.

A French mountaineering team led by him climbed the mountain for the first time.

But they stopped at camp 5, which is 6797 meters.

Gashbloom (Gashbloom)

The Karakorum Mountains at the junction of Xinjiang and Pakistan-controlled Kashmir in China.

Gashurbloom Peak (8080m) is the world's 1 1 peak.

About 26 kilometers southeast of Chogory Peak.

It is a boundary pillar between China and Pakistan.

Among the four ridges of the mountain, there are the northwest ridge and the east ridge.

It belongs to a part of the main ridge line of Karakorum Mountain.

Among them, the north is in China and the south belongs to Pakistan.

Mount Gashurum was originally called K5 by the Western Expedition.

1856 British Captain Montgomery (T.G. Montgomery IE)

"K" was used for the first expedition to the Karakorum Mountains.

At first, five main peaks of this mountain range were marked from west to east.

The peak consists of rugged ridges and steps.

Towering rock walls.

Because there are many mountain systems in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean that block the air flow.

So the climate is very dry,

The main precipitation comes from the upper westerlies.

And the interaction of polar cold and humid air currents.

The altitude is about 7500 meters, and the average temperature is MINUS 20 degrees.

The lowest can reach -30 degrees, and the maximum wind force is 9- 1 1.

Usually the wind force is around 7.

Frequent weather changes are a major feature of this area.

Even in summer, there may be snow and snow on the mountain.

The temperature can drop to MINUS 20 degrees.

Not only is the terrain sinister, but the climate is also very bad.

From May to September every year, the southwest monsoon brings warm and humid airflow, which melts the rain and falls.

From mid-September to mid-April of the following year.

A strong westerly wind blew, bringing a severe winter.

The lowest peak temperature can reach -50℃ and the maximum wind speed can reach more than 25m/s.

This is a climate forbidden zone for mountaineering.

During May-September, due to warming, snow melting and precipitation,

It often causes the water level in the valley to skyrocket and it is difficult to enter the mountains.

Therefore, the best time for mountaineering activities should be arranged in early May and June.

Although the river rose at that time, it was not too serious.

From July to September, the temperature at the top of the mountain is slightly higher.

Good weather lasts for a long time, which is a good time to reach the top.

There are two large glaciers in Dongpo Gorge.

There are many large and deep glaciers.

The ice seams of light and shade are shocking.

The valley of Gashur Bloom II is steep, with its peak reaching into the sky.

The steep slope is covered with snow and ice, and the terrain on the north side is especially steep and complicated.

Frequent avalanches make climbing extremely difficult.

So far, no one has successfully reached the summit from China.

The first record of conquering the summit is

Austrian Flitz Moravik.

Hans William Palthe, Zep Laleh.

July 1956, 1.

Climb the peak along the southwest ridge (in Kashmir)

The first and second peaks of Gashur Bloom.

This mountain peak is located in the hinterland of Karakorum Mountain, with an altitude of more than 8,000 meters.

Due to the great difficulty of rock climbing, the death rate of rock climbing remains high.

(Only K2 counts the number of people who reached the summit and died as of 20 12)

However, it has unparalleled magnificent scenery.

It also deeply attracts people who love mountains all over the world.

For climbers who are obsessed with mountaineering, Karakorum Mountain is the spiritual hall.

Climb the snow-capped mountains over 8000 meters.

Overlooking the charm of Karakorum Mountain is the biggest dream of life.

There is also the Jogory Peak (86 1 1 m above sea level) standing around.

Blota Peak (805 1 m above sea level) and many other world famous mountains.

It takes a lot of physical strength and patience to reach the summit.

You should be mentally prepared from the moment you set foot on the journey.

Cruel storms, huge glaciers, vertical peaks.

Rockfall, fatigue, avalanche

Hunger, injury, death

I won't let you off any slack.

These are unknowns.

There are many dangers hidden under the beautiful appearance of the mountain peak.

Cracks, ice gullies and falling rocks can be seen everywhere.

The road at the foot was cut off by a nearby river with melting glaciers.

I was frightened by the rolling river in front of me and drummed.

You start to hesitate: the biting river may slide down.

Looking at the sky getting darker and darker, time doesn't give you the leisure to hesitate.

Take every step carefully.

In case rolling in the deep comes to a bad end.

Looking up, there is no end in sight in the snow.

There will be a little despair at this time.

Jackets and hiking shoes can't resist the long-term invasion of rain, snow and sweat.

Both heat and physical strength are exhausted.

Hungry and cold, the pace is getting heavier and heavier.

The weather is getting worse and the visibility is getting worse.

The back of the companion became like a ghost.

Put a piece of beef jerky in your mouth.

You just vaguely feel that you have given birth to a little strength.

There is only one direction at this time: move on.

The sunset in Karakorum Mountain is desolate and brilliant.

Pink clouds in the sun are intertwined with pale golden snow.

The peaks are shrouded in strange colors.

Attend the summit.

It is full of danger and temptation because of its magnificent scenery.

Horses carrying oil to the Pakistani army March on the Bartolo Glacier.

Pakistan relies on horses or mules for transportation in this area.

But these animals are not suitable for walking at high altitudes with heavy loads.

I often fall on the glacier halfway and can't get up again)

On a sunny day

Karakorum Mountain presents a beautiful phenomenon that the sun and the moon shine together.

It adds a touch of romance to the hard glacier hiking.

In the moonlight, a pyramid-shaped snow-capped mountain stands in front of us.

As if at your fingertips.

As night falls, turn on the camera's long exposure function.

Polaris shines all the orbits.

Under the sky, the first and second peaks of Gashur Bloom stand side by side.

Everyone who wants to reach the top is inevitably accompanied by danger.

We will also anticipate all kinds of unexpected situations that may be encountered.

I even had the idea of "I'm not going to come back alive"

But the beauty of desolation has always touched the hearts of climbers.

Pursuing dreams

They all choose to follow their inner thoughts.

Because the mountain is there.
