Climbing the cool peaks in the rain in heavy-loaded trekking

"Heavy-load trekking climbing cool peaks in the Rain"

After a busy week of work, should be in Saturday sleep a lazy sleep, because signed up to participate in the Tianya Club organization of heavy-duty hiking climbing cool peak activities, can only get up at five o'clock, wash, after breakfast, the back of the hill after boarding to the meeting place.

        Cool peaks, the main peak of the Tianmu mountain range, is the second highest peak in southwest Anhui Province, after the peak of Huangshan Mountain, 1784 meters above sea level. I was in last year's company organization of walking emblem Hangzhou Road yearning for it, only the road trip to the altitude of 1050 meters after the blue sky concave, on the direction of the snow Church downhill, failed to reach the summit, regret. This time finally, very happy, but also worried about the success of the summit, because the weather forecast has rain, rugged mountain, plus more than 10 kilograms of equipment, physical strength and endurance is also a big test.         gather at the Lotus Road subway station, which is also the place where I came to work in Shanghai more than four years ago, I feel familiar. Here the tourist vehicles gather, many people travel light, the back load-bearing only a few. Our bus departs at 7:50, in addition to a few teammates in Songjiang and after the Chang ' an service area to rest, along the Shanghai-Kunming Expressway, all the way unobstructed, at 11:50 about the high-speed to Zhejiang Lin ' an. Here the cart for the car, along the path to the mountain, after marked the emblem of Hangzhou Road, after the archway, finally arrived at the beginning of the hike-Yong Lai, the village is located at the junction of Anhui and Zhejiang, as the tourism gradually Sheng, the village of gradual economic development, every house built a white wall of the three-storey courtyard.         The team leader told us that we couldn't have lunch in the village until it was dark before we got to the camp point tonight. Time is tense, the mountain is also obviously colder than the city, I quickly ate a few pieces of chocolate and beef dry to replenish energy, adjust the length of the mountaineering battle, fasten the backpack with the belly belt and the chest belt, follow the leader, turn to the farm behind the path, quickly embark on the journey.         Misty mountains, in this late autumn season, storied dyeing, dark green cypress and Huangfeng apricot interwoven. Time and time to reveal the towering sky of the Daisy Ridge line, and that towering lofty summit silent, in this tens of thousands of years do not know how many ancients and vain. Stepping on the withered leaves, after the gentle path, began to uphill, no laughter, only heard a slight gasp. The leader walks in the front, in a slightly flat halfway up the hillside, tell everyone can drink saliva, change clothes. I also found some heat, not like just get off when still feel the chill hit people, take off the jacket, rubbing some sore shoulder, poured a sip of cold water, just accelerated heart beat. Rest of the time is short, on the package, continue to climb along the mountain, feel that high above the top of the mountain than the first look, has uncovered the hazy veil, appear more charming and moving. Just burdened with heavy equipment, the heartbeat is a little faster, the pace is not as easy as the beginning, had to slow down a bit. Ask yourself: Why do people come on foot to reload the mountain? No answer, too late to think, keep on。         Under the leadership of the leader, rest adjusted many times, the whole team finally boarded the first mountain, here at an altitude of 1-kilometer or so, looking down at the mountain dwellings, due to the Misty mountains, has been unclear. Leader Finger North more towering mountains said that is cool peak. and the block between the cool peak and we have a difficult road. The leader said that after climbing the front of the large slopes, the camp today a slightly gentle ground on the floor, and the difficulty of the large slopes may be the largest today. At this moment, the clouds flying, the sky floated rain, we set on the poncho, the whole good equipment, turn left, began to climb the ramp. This road, although some people tread, but usually more for the water scour, leaving the gravel block, the slope is large, coupled with rain, the road more muddy slippery. Can only put on the mountain climbing fight more firmly, foot more stable, so as not to fall.         After three breaks, conquer the bumpy big slopes, the back of the road is more gentle, but the clouds are gradually thicker, more and more cold. The whole team arrived at the intersection before dark, and it was the place to rest tonight. The mountain has the upper hand, the temperature only 3 degrees, the rain drops on the body, lets the person more clammy. Rubbing cold hands after the start of the account, mountain breeze whistling, blowing the bottom of the book can not be stable. can only act more quickly support the internal account, install good external account, play a solid nail, fasten the ropes. The rain more and more, put the parcel into the tent, people also rushed into, immediately feel warm a lot. Ate a bit of simple dry food, poured a few cold water, as supper. At this time six points, the sky has been all black, a tent point on the lights, orange light diffuse in the dark mountains, times feel warm. I nest in a sleeping bag, listening to the song God's music, completely disregard the rain and rain, comfortable. People are really tired, and tomorrow morning also need to get up to the top, so 7:30 turned off the headlights, in the rain fell in the tent of the sonata to sleep peacefully.         Morning four o'clock wake up, rest is good, but the rain is still under, crackling on the external account. Seven points to the summit, when the rain broke, surrounded by white fog boundless. Passing dense bamboo forest, people through which, can only reveal the head, bamboo leaves with rain and dew, sweep in the body, let clothes quickly wet. After drilling out of the bamboo forest, the oncoming is a wide despair slope, no vegetation cover, in the middle of a water washed out of the deep ditch, people can only pick up the place where the stones stand down slowly to the pedal. Bow to climb, a fierce look up, there is a mountain abrupt, but also across the middle of the stone hillock, here rough stone, but absorb the earth and rain, stone surface covered with moss. Originally thought hands and feet and climbed the stone hillock to cool peak, but the leader said not to, continue to the left, through the Alpine meadow, through a gentle slope, a few blocks of boulders or lying or standing above the ground, inadvertently arrived at the peak of the cool peaks at 8:40. Although the rain is not falling, but the surrounding clouds blurred, visibility only dozens of meters, under the cliff what can not see, only the tenacious pine tree produced branches. If the dayGas is fine, should be able to Jimuyuantiao mountain die Zhang, clouds tumbling, scenery unlimited.         stayed at the peak for about 10 minutes, the original road back, 10 points to the camp. Camp, 11 points on the return journey. Water and dry food consumed more than half, the weight of the light, down the hill is also a lot lighter. Downhill for a long time, the hands of the battle compelled, toe against the tip of the shoe also grinding blistering, knee joint fever, people, although not as arduous as uphill, but worried rain wet road slippery, also dare not careless. Step by step along the road when the solid step down, and finally in the people feel quickly exhausted, at 1:40 return to the starting point: Hui hang ancient roads entrance of the farmhouse. Drink a cup of warm water, feel so thirsty sweet. The meal soon comes up, the pork, the big burning fish, the soil chicken soup, the dry bamboo shoots and the tofu and so on, accompanies with the white rice, everybody swallows, the big quick eats, soon swept away, has not eaten so delicious food. 2:30, to embark on the car back to Shanghai, and then look around the mountains, misty clouds in the mountains, the summit towering, so that people can not help feeling, their own incredibly in two half a day, load on foot, a bit, will footprints all over the foothills, hillsides, ridges and summits, testing the strength and perseverance, stimulated the potential.         process is difficult, but the result is more or less, or hidden or show good. This may be one of the answers to the original question of why we should reload the cool peaks of the hike. The first half of this article was written in the tent, lit with headlights, and accompanied by the rain in the morning of  -1. 1th in the afternoon on the bus back to Shanghai to finish writing this article.
