What are the precautions for climbing Huangshan Mountain when it rains?

Huangshan Mountain is basically a shower, which comes and goes quickly. When it rains heavily, it is suggested to find a place to take shelter and wait until the rain stops, in case the mountain road is slippery. Raincoats are better than umbrellas.

Matters needing attention in climbing in rainy days

Traveling abroad is what people who like to climb mountains like. But the weather is ever changing. When hiking in the wild, you often encounter sudden changes in the weather. So what should I do immediately when it rains?

1, put the GPS in an easy-to-take place, such as a raincoat pocket or a backpack top pocket, and do a good job of water splashing. If you wear glasses, please wear a baseball cap with a protruding front eaves, and then cover it with a rain cap, so that you can have a better view. In case it rains, put on rain gear immediately. Don't wear it because it's light. It's too late to wear it when it's soaked! Two-stage raincoat is suitable for rain gear, and sling is used to support rain pants to prevent them from slipping. Be sure to put the rain gear in a convenient place, such as the side pocket, top pocket or the top of the main bag of the backpack.

Short leggings can prevent rain from slipping from trouser legs into hiking shoes.

2. Remember, the cold and bare skin is far warmer than the skin stuck on the cold and wet cotton cloth. No matter how the backpack manufacturer boasts about its waterproofness, it is necessary to put a waterproof cover on the outside of the backpack. Clothes and sleeping bags in backpacks should be wrapped in waterproof bags or plastic bags, and hard-shell fresh-keeping boxes can be used to hold fragile food, medicinal materials, negatives or matches and other sundries. Take some big plastic bags and pack them away.

Don't camp in the floodplain, riverbed, stream side and valley area during thunderstorm, so as not to be washed away by sudden flood.

Many times, the camp will be chosen on the ridge or on both sides of the river to enjoy the scenery. The ideal camping place is nothing more than the terrace on the river bank or the wide river bank. The sand is flat and dry, and there is clear water and driftwood that can be used as firewood at the edge of the valley. When the weather is good, it is a very good campsite.

However, if it rains cats and dogs, the water in the valley may suddenly surge, flooding the river banks and washing away hiking shoes, food and so on. Even people will be washed away by the current.

4. Before camping in the rainy season, we must pay attention to the climate and hydrology of the local campsite and the upper reaches of the river. When camping, you should pay attention to setting up tents on high ground a few meters above the water surface. Don't choose rain channels, choose places with good drainage, and choose escape routes when in danger. When all the dust settles, you should always pay attention to the flow and turbidity of the water source and the sound of running water. Once you feel abnormal, you should run away quickly. Late at night or when you are tired, it is the main cause of disaster. Don't be careless in observation.
