Climb Siguniang Mountain quickly in the form of cross-country

(This article pays tribute to the 2 1 cross-country victims of the silver medal cross-country accident. )

The so-called cross-country running is an extreme endurance sport that combines outdoor mountain sports and long-distance marathon running. It only rose for a few years in our country. I dare not make some supervisor's judgment on it. For me, cross-country running is a sport to keep fit, master the skills of survival in the wild, and yearn for and fear nature. You can aim at challenging yourself, but it is by no means bragging about the capital of conquest. In the cross-country race, an individual ran 50 kilometers and completed 100 kilometers, but the race is only a form of cross-country.

In April this year, after Tomb-Sweeping Day, the resentment of the epidemic met with a rare holiday, and the rebellious middle-aged people could no longer bear the turmoil and took a cross-country trip alone.

Siguniang has convenient transportation and can arrive in one day (leaving at night until the next afternoon), and Siguniang is a sacred place for cross-country and hiking, which is relatively mature and safe. So the first plateau in life, the first snow-capped mountain, must be some beautiful girls. The journey from the idea to the back took only five days. In fact, time is mainly the preparation of materials and equipment.

If it is a traditional mountaineering route, it is probably starting from Chengdu and going to Siguniang Mountain City. On the first day, I walked to the base camp, rested for one night and stayed at the top of the mountain for 4 hours in the morning. It mainly refers to Siguniang Peak at an altitude of 5025 meters. One * * * Four Peaks, Siguniang Peak is more than 6000 meters above sea level, which is difficult for non-professional experts to climb. The second and third peaks are relatively easy, but the first snow mountain and the big peak are better. The traditional route has mature business teams and private tour guides in Chengdu and the local area. As long as the general population is not seriously rebellious, there is no problem, the equipment requirements are not high, and even the horses are checked.

The route I planned this time is relatively simple, that is, starting from off-road equipment in the morning, going straight up Siguniang Mountain at an altitude of 3,000m, about15km, and climbing down the mountain for more than 2,000 times to reach Dafeng Peak. There are two breaks on the way, and the rest time is about 29 minutes. I expect to be back in about eight hours. This trip specially contacted Tian Liang of Changping Inn in advance (who is also the champion of Siguniang Mountain cross-country running) as the guide and cross-country coach of Snow Mountain. Communicate with the coach in detail in advance to determine the equipment and supplies.

Siguniang happens to be in April and spring, which belongs to the snow season, but there is little snow in Xia Dong in two seasons, but the scenery at the foot of the mountain will be good. It is best to visit in spring, and it is best to experience the snow-capped mountains in spring. Siguniang Mountain Town is 3200 meters above sea level, and there will be slight altitude sickness. The temperature is about 5- 15 degrees, and it will be lower in the mountains. Considering the snow on the mountain, personal clothing and equipment mainly include quick-drying underwear+fleece coat+off-road single-layer coat and three-layer dressing method. Pants are splash-proof pants and high-top mountain boots (cross-country shoes are also acceptable). Backpack with down jacket, headlights, medicine (ibuprofen), first aid, supplies, 2 liters of water. The supply should be light, it's all energy glue. Then there will be some small off-road equipment. Before leaving, I spent most of my time preparing the above equipment. And carefully studied the local weather, routes, road conditions and so on. I also envisaged some plans and courses of action in case of rising rebellion and bad weather.

A person, a bag, and then set off, how capricious and convulsions of middle age.

I arrived in Chongqing in the early hours of the first night and my luggage was wrong. 12 could have had a rest, but I stayed in the terminal all night and hardly slept. Then I went to Chengdu at noon and took a bus from the tea shop to Siguniang Mountain Town. I closed my eyes for two hours on the road and arrived at four in the afternoon. Slight altitude sickness, after a person drinks the most delicious hot American coffee produced by Siguniang Mountain Changping Inn, he feels ok to try running (slight climbing) 1 hour. The young ladies in the inn told me to be reserved and not to get too excited. I didn't know the seriousness of the plateau until I went back to my room to rest at night. I have a headache and I can't sleep because of the pain. Later, people said that I should prepare sleeping pills. I didn't sleep much all night, and my blood oxygen saturation was 88% (mild hypoxia).

The next day, Changping Valley tried to adapt to running. About 10 km, climbing more than 200, 3 hours. The outdoor oxygen is relatively sufficient, and the blood oxygen is 90%, which is barely within the normal range. Rest in the afternoon. If you haven't bathed for two days, you can't wash on the first day. Check the equipment the next night, communicate with the coach about going up the mountain, and tell the coach to take me down immediately if I find that I don't talk or talk nonsense on the way up the mountain. Another night of headache and insomnia, and I didn't sleep well for three nights.

On the third day, I set out at 6: 00 in the morning, had breakfast at 7: 00, and started climbing at the door at 8: 00. In other words, 40 hours after arriving in Siguniang Mountain town, Siguniang Mountain Dafeng cross-country express officially started. The weather is sunny, and the thoroughness of the plateau brings people not the shock of the soul, but a feeling of baptism. It seems that the pilgrimage has finished this beautiful and solemn snow-capped mountain-Shushan. I was playing on the beach 40 hours ago. At this time, it's like flying in the sky where I usually look up. I'm not excited, beautiful or shocked. At that moment, I was like a child who broke into heaven, a little at a loss.

Although it's a cross-country run, I've been climbing mountains, and I'm still walking fast. When the road is gentle, run a little, don't dare to run more, and your heart beats badly. This is a quick hike at best. Along the way, the coach constantly taught cross-country experience and exchanged cross-country and mountain culture with each other. China's popular mountain culture is not mature, but Sichuan and Tibet have gathered a large number of professional outdoor people at home and abroad. Snow Mountain is still relatively mature, and it has gradually become a popular leisure project.

On the way, there was a 10 minute rest point to replenish water and food and continue to set out for the base camp, but the slope became steeper and steeper, making it more and more difficult to walk. It takes about 4 hours to reach the base camp, and Wang Yi, an outdoor enthusiast of the national leader, has also been here. Two or three kilometers up from the base camp is the pass, which is the steepest climb and the most rocky road. Xuefeng is getting closer and closer, and it is close to the snow line. The weather is getting worse, and my strength is running out. The altitude here is more than 4000. It took less than 24 hours to go from altitude 0 to altitude 3000. It took four hours to go from 3000 to 4000. At this time, the brain is more hypoxic. Have a headache and want to sleep.

The next difficult climb was almost a collapse. The sacred and white snow-capped mountains are just in front of us, with rocks all over their heads. After a few steps, I couldn't stop breathing with a trekking stick. Give up ... bend down ... go home ...? That's all I can think of. The coach cheered nearby, but fortunately I heard him clearly, but I was too lazy to pay attention to him.

The snow began to fall, and my feet began to slip, and it was getting bigger and bigger. I don't know how long it took, and I feel that this is the last strength of my life. I seem to forget where I am when I stand near the 5,025m Peak Monument at Dafeng Peak. It is not easy. Finally, I came up. I don't have the heroic spirit of that mountain, and no other mountain looks short under the sky. The mind. I just climbed to the top of the mountain again.

. . . . . . .

When I went down the mountain, the snow was thick and I was in a happy mood. I started in running all the way. Facing the snow, I looked around with my eyes. There are no peaks and no people. I just remembered that no one else went up the mountain today except the two of us. The whole Siguniang Mountain seems to be ours. At this moment, I realized what it means to forget humiliation and bear the burden of humiliation.

I climbed for eight hours and went down the mountain in less than three hours. It is snowing heavily in Siguniang Mountain, and I grew up in the north, as if I had returned to the snowflake world of my childhood.

A cup of fragrant coffee in the evening

A refreshing glass of beer.

A hearty hot bath.

Unfortunately, the whole town was blacked out. There is no telephone, no internet, only snowflakes flying in the dark and me who keeps losing sleep in the dark room.

Later, I mentioned this trip to others, and others asked me, I climbed Dafeng without going to the plateau, and I didn't even have time to get used to it. Why are you going? I replied, because I thought I was awesome, I went to verify it and the result was really good. Actually, I know it's just blowing water. Planning-preparation-plan-guidance, the whole trip includes many dangerous inner rehearsals. Many things have been planned thousands of times, so it is better to do them once.
