When it comes to mountaineering, most people naturally think of words such as altitude, high opposition, danger, remoteness, perseverance, courage and so on.
Also because of these words, many people who want to get the "peak experience" do not dare to move forward.
What are the modes of mountaineering?
1. Himalayan climbing is also known as expedition or siege climbing.
The main feature is that the mountaineering team is often large, composed of many guides and climbers, and in most cases a base camp will be set up at the foot of the mountain, which will include a large amount of material transportation.
There is a division of labor between teams.
Mountain guides or collaborates to lay ropes to the summit, special people or horses deliver supplies, and climbers rely on elevators to climb along pre-paved ropes.
Himalayan climbing cycles tend to be long, requiring the establishment of one or more camps.
2. Alpine style emphasizes that through one's own ability, with as little equipment as possible and without a large amount of supplies, quickly climb a certain route of a mountain and return.
A-style climbing team is usually made up of 2-3 climbing partners of similar ability, equipped with only 1-2 ropes and a certain amount of protective equipment (rock plug / ice pick / quick hang, etc.) to climb.
If necessary, they will also carry simple camping equipment for a short camping trip.
In the process of climbing, climbers will be more involved in the climbing, complete all the technical operations.
They will be able to freely participate in climbing decisions and solve various technical difficulties.
And in this process can be clearly aware of their own technical defects and deficiencies.
But don't be intimidated by words such as "technology" and "fast". A-style climbing is not unattainable and dangerous.
The best climbing seasons are April, May, June, September, October and November.
You can also climb in other months.
The clothes you need to prepare to climb the snow-capped mountains are exquisite.
1. Basic layer: sweat thermal underwear-high altitude mountaineering will also produce a lot of heat, if close-fitting clothing can not sweat quickly, sweat evaporation will take away more heat.
This requires you to wear underwear with the function of sweating and keeping warm.
2. The middle layer: cotton-padded clothes / plush / ribs down / soft shell-the middle layer clothing is mainly used to block the body heat that can not be retained by the basic layer, and to prevent cold air from entering the body.
This layer of clothing can be one, or more than one can be added as needed.
3.Windproof layer: stormsuit, thick down jacket-clothing worn in the outer layer, the most important task is to resist the invasion of high altitude wind and snow.
Otherwise, cold wind and rain and snow will quickly "pierce" and take away the heat of the body.
