This is the only 8000m snow mountain in China.

There are the most beautiful ice pagodas in China.

The vastness and loneliness of the great Himalayas,

It has been vividly interpreted here.

Only the most persistent travelers,

Set foot here.

Working relationship,

I have been to Xifeng five times.

When I first passed by Xifeng,

I zoomed in with a telephoto lens and was stunned by a large straight wall on the north side.

I must go to the foot of the mountain when I have the chance, I think.

Shoot NirmalPurja rushing to the top of Xixiabangma,

It was the second encounter with Xifeng.

The night before the summit, at Langqiangcuo Lake, opposite the national road on the north side of Xifeng,

I found a seat and stayed away from the climbing route all night.

Caught the headlight trajectory that the great god rushed up to.

Wait, wait for filming.

The headlight trajectory that the great god rushed up to.

20 19 12, -30 degree windy day in Tibetan area,

Because of participating in a cinema film shooting,

We walked across the ice lake and approached the ice tower forest.

Glacier tongue, small from a distance, is very shocking to walk in.

In front of the ancient glaciers that jumped out of the time limit,

Nature shows its most primitive and wild appearance.

We camped in Bintarin for one night.

On the National Day of 2020, we walked on the Great Ring Road of Xixia Bangma.

I was finally able to stand at the feet of Sisha Penma,

Look at Pan-Xi Peak from three angles: south, east and north.

The fifth time, it was the National Day Grand Ring of 202 1.

I have a tacit understanding with Xifeng.

I was fascinated by its magnificence,

I also know more about its hidden dangers and moody temper.

This understanding was bought with blood and tears.

When shooting in the ice tower forest,

Another aerial photographer fell on the ice,

Just because I didn't wear gloves, I pricked my hand and made a big cut on the ice.

After emergency treatment, send it to Geelong for stitches. ...

The importance of equipment is exposed here.

With the popularity of outdoor sports, Xifeng became famous.

I was shocked by the number of people who left on 202 1 National Day.

A camp has more than 100 tents!

Outside the business team, a large number of AA reloads also swarmed in.

It is good that hiking, a healthy lifestyle, is recognized by more people.

It's just that the level of newcomers is uneven.

Carrying equipment is also a long story.

The sleeping bag is not up to standard, shivering with cold, the sole is stuck and the gloves are lost.

……

All the seemingly insignificant mistakes,

It is easy to be magnified in the extreme environment of the plateau.

Cause irreparable consequences.

A while ago, there was even an article "Looking for relatives who lost contact on foot in Xishan Mountain"

The screen of the outdoor circle ...

I wonder if the missing eldest brother has been found.

Here, according to my personal experience and understanding of Xifeng weather route,

Do some practical sharing with you,

From the aspects of food, clothing, housing and transportation and other four aspects,

Give you some specific references related to long-distance plateau hiking.

You are also welcome to leave messages.

Creative position statement: The author is an alpine photographer and sideline leader. The following is a summary of my work experience in leading high-altitude hiking photography for many years. I don't want to spray, and my personal views are only for those in need.

1. Did you really bring the right clothes?

How to bring a travel suit?

Leaving the weather, altitude, hiking time and scene, asking this question directly is hooliganism.

National Day holiday is often the choice of most people. In most cases, the national day weather is good, even if there is bad weather, it will generally not exceed 5 days (note: this article mainly refers to the list of required items during the national day).

It was foggy and drizzling the night before.

It was sunny the next morning.

The hiking altitude of Xifeng Great Ring Road ranges from more than 3,800 meters to more than 5,500 meters. It seems that the altitude difference is about 10 degrees, but high altitude often means changeable weather, normal rain, snow and strong winds, and the wind-cold effect can not be ignored.

Different altitudes and their environmental conditions

China leader A Le on foot.

During the whole trip of 202 1 national day, the clothes I brought included what I wore:

The double merino sweater is very powerful, giving consideration to warmth, comfort and breathability. Even if you sweat, you can discharge it quickly and it doesn't itch. It has been worn for half a month and has no taste at all.

Most of the time, I only wear this one for hiking, and the outside is a soft shell. It used to cost more than 1000, but now it's cheaper at a discount.

There is also a set of ordinary thermal underwear, which I usually use as spare clothes.

Choose the basic model of polar fleece underwear, Decathlon or other brands, ranging from tens of dollars to one or two hundred.

Longha is a relatively small brand. My soft shell suit is said to have three layers of waterproof fabric, medium length and no PFC, so it is recyclable. All pockets have zippers, so things won't fall out when you put them in. Jackets and pants have zippers for ventilation and heat dissipation.

So even if I wear thick clothes inside, I can unzip my pants to avoid sweating too much. I can pull them apart when I have a cold break, and the temperature can be adjusted at any time. I wore it for 4 years, and the waterproof effect in some areas decreased. After washing, I restored the waterproof layer myself and the waterproof effect has been restored.

Cotton-padded jacket is awesome, and it keeps warm when wet. Miller is a French brand company specializing in mountaineering. The clothes are very reliable and the price is really high. I bought it in Amazon before, and the price is less than 1000 yuan, which is very worthwhile. Later, I checked it in China, and it was nearly 2000 yuan. Amazon smells good.

Pathfinder is a domestic brand. Clothes are getting better and better in recent years, and they are much cheaper. Very cost-effective. Detachable three-in-one down jacket can be worn all year round. Just open it.

Underwear mainly highlights the quick-drying function. If the requirements are higher, you can bring deodorant and quick-drying underwear.

If you are a girl, you can bring disposable underwear to change.

If you are a novice outdoors and don't know other brands, Decathlon can be the first choice. In the shopping mall, their division of labor is very detailed, and the role of each dress will be stated.

Everyone may have heard of the "three-layer dress code", which is simply:

I am not afraid of the cold. I will stay in Tibet for 20 days on this trip.

I wore a long-sleeved shirt and trousers and a hat for protection when I went to Lhasa on September 22nd. When you go out in the morning, put a fleece outside and put it in your backpack, so you can take it out and wear it at any time.

Going out by car is cold in the morning and evening. After the sun comes out at noon, the car is dry and hot, like an oven. I wear short sleeves and thick clothes in my backpack. I should put them on before I get off the bus to avoid freezing.

Also, be sure to wear a hat, which can not only protect against the sun but also prevent you from catching cold and blowing. A cold can easily induce a high reaction.

During hiking, the temperature is low in the morning, about 5- 10 degrees. When I first get up, I will wear thicker clothes, usually more than three pieces, to ensure that I don't catch cold. You can subtract one and put it in your backpack before you go.

You can subtract one and put it in your backpack before you go. It is recommended to wear three or two pieces on foot. Walking for about 20 minutes on a sunny day will start to heat up or even sweat.

In case of rain and snow, you should wear waterproof clothes, soft shells or coats outside, and of course, you can also wear raincoats directly. Personally, I am used to playing an umbrella on a flat road.

After arriving at the camp in the afternoon, besides setting up a tent, the most important thing is to add clothes-the temperature drops rapidly at night.

Personally, I think that during the day, because I wear Merino wool warm pants and the outside is soft shell, I generally don't add pants. I will take off my soft shell and put on the down jacket of Moeller's cotton-padded jacket, then put on slippers and a pair of dry thick socks to give my feet a full rest.

Down jacket is mainly for my work clothes. Down jacket is warm and waterproof. More importantly, I wear more clothes and get a little dirty (I often go outdoors and can't bear to wear new clothes to do housework).

Some people may ask, why am I wearing a cotton-padded jacket instead of a down jacket?

There are down jackets. I used to take it outdoors, but it was not warm and easy to dry when it was wet or wet. And the environment I live in is often harsh, so I choose cotton-padded jacket as the warm layer now-this is based on my own habits and team requirements.

Second, the people eat for the sky!

Eating outdoors doesn't mean working together, but eating well when you are full. As for how to prepare food, it depends on whether to follow the business team or cook by yourself.

Business team

Most business teams adopt the standard of four dishes 1 soup on this route, so we don't have to worry about dinner, mainly considering how breakfast and road meal (lunch on the road during the day) are more suitable for us.

do it yourself

You need to bring more things when you fire yourself. You need to follow the following points: good transportation, storage resistance, good taste, small size and easy cooking.

Individuals have the following food suggestions:

The braised pork in this house is delicious. I have repeatedly reassembled the lines at high altitude and carried their cooking bags, which is very convenient for heating. Just soak in hot water 1 min or put it on the lid for a while. With rice or noodles, you can have a delicious meal in ten minutes at the earliest.

Freeze-dried instant soup tastes better than baked soup. Boil the water and you can drink it. There are dozens of flavors. You can also buy some instant noodles and add them. Boiling a pot of water is a meal.

6g can flush about 350ml of water outdoors, and 9g needs almost 500ml of water.

If you feel that your meal is not ready, you can buy dehydrated food after cooking and add boiling water 15 minutes or more (you can buy a bag and try it at home, so you won't find that you don't like it when you go outdoors).

I cooked sausage slices and slices at home, then dried them to reduce the moisture.

Although the taste will drop a little, it will be much lighter and more chewy. It can be used to put a few pieces into a cooking bag, and add some vermicelli to go with bread or other pasta.

No matter which way to eat, it is strongly recommended to buy a set of tableware and refuse to use disposable tableware.

The most outdoor garbage is toilet paper and various disposable items. Minimize it, so as not to create too much garbage!

Personally, I recommend this kind of wooden tableware, which is relatively light, won't make harsh sounds with bowls or plates when eating, and the texture is very comfortable. Imagine taking out cold dishes and eating hot meals in a particularly cold place ... not as warm as this wood.

Third, about the importance of "a good house"

There is no signal outside, and the rest is generally much earlier than in the city. I personally have a say in how to sleep well outdoors.

In the sleeping position, make sure that your upper body lies flat and your feet can be slightly higher. If it is flat, I will put an empty backpack or clothes on my calf and raise it a little. It will be more comfortable to sleep at night, and there will be no fatigue and discomfort in the calf the next day.

tent

Generally, two people in the business team sleep on a mountain, accounting for 3 4 people, and one person needs to pay some fees. If you bring your own tent, give priority to the four seasons account, that is, a tent with a snow skirt, which is more sand-proof and warmer.

If the wind blows in the area around Xixiabangma, it will be 5-6 or even greater, especially in Gongcuo camp. The wind and sand will be very strong, and a gust of wind will blow over a layer of soil in the tent, often for several days.

This highlights the benefits of the four seasons account-with a snow skirt, it will be better sealed and warmer. When you leave the tent in the morning, you will obviously feel a great temperature difference, as high as 10 degrees.

2. Sleeping bag

Cotton sleeping bags are a long-term taboo, and down is standard.

When buying a sleeping bag, there will be labels, such as what down, how many grams of down, and the temperature of the sleeping bag ... These values will be fatal if you don't understand them.

It is suggested that the comfortable temperature scale of sleeping bags should be -5 degrees to-10 degrees before hiking on the Great Ring Road of Bangma in Xixia, and it will be colder after 5 days, so a warmer sleeping bag is needed. If you are afraid of cold, you can choose sleeping bags with comfortable temperature-15. However, the temperature standard of some brand-name products is not accurate, and it can be matched with the reference cashmere filling amount, which is generally not lower than1000 g g.

If you are worried about catching a cold, you can also match a sleeping bag to heat the liner; Some counties and towns have poor accommodation conditions. If you don't want to cover their quilt, you can drill into the sleeping bag liner and cover it again.

I brought a sleeping bag liner, but it didn't work. I lent it to a team member on the way. He said that he woke up many times in the cold last night and kept tossing and turning.

In this case, you can put all the thick clothes on the sleeping bag, which is equivalent to thickening the sleeping bag, and put a raincoat and a backpack under the moisture-proof pad to further isolate the cold on the ground, or cover it on the sleeping bag.

3. Moisture-proof mat

I will use a thick inflatable moisture-proof pad, so that even if the ground is slightly uneven, I will sleep very warm. On the other hand, my air cushion has a high R value (calorific value) and my back won't feel cold.

If you are worried about the damage of the air cushion, you can bring an air cushion repair kit. If it is accidentally broken, it can be repaired. You can also choose this if you have a high demand for sleep.

The disadvantage is that it is too big ... If you have weak hands-on ability and are afraid that the inflatable air cushion will be punctured, the egg trough is the safest.

4. Others

Some things are not necessary, but they can enhance happiness and experience. For example:

Fourth, it's hard to walk, it's hard to walk!

From mobile phones, ID cards and side cards to gloves, hats, trekking poles and headscarves, every trip is like cleaning up a grocery store.

Here, I will introduce you to the necessary supplies from beginning to end, and indicate the use scenarios and uses.

Decathlon fleece hat is the one I use the most. First of all, it's light. Although it is a thin layer, it plays a good role in keeping warm and protecting. You can wear clothes, hats or sun hats during the day, which is very cost-effective. I bought five in succession.

Fisherman's hat is also one of the equipment I will bring, which can block sunlight and ultraviolet rays in all directions, and the brim can be folded at will, which is very convenient to use. You can choose a thicker hat at will, or you can use it with the hat on your clothes to reduce the amount of equipment you carry.

I use the top brand Phoenix as the headlight, which is the choice for many people to climb Mount Everest. The low temperature performance is very stable, and it can still work normally at -40 degrees.

There are many scenarios and functions of headscarves. Some outdoor brands or business clubs will give headscarves with uneven quality. You can buy a better buff headscarf, which has a very good sun protection index, good breathability and good skin-friendly feeling.

Sanfeng's raincoats are widely used, with bright colors and light weight. It is recommended to wear sleeves first to prevent rain and snow from pouring into sleeves or clothes when there is wind. The belt can be fastened to prevent the wind from pouring in, and the backpack also has corresponding space to protect it.

I also use Decathlon gloves, because they are consumables, and I don't want to buy expensive gloves. You can touch the screen by cutting a hole in the position of the first joint of the index finger and thumb, which is convenient for taking pictures. Of course, there are gloves that can touch the screen. They are not only expensive, but also may not work in rainy or low temperature environments.

You can bring two pairs of gloves to prevent dampness or extreme cold; You can bring an extra pair of thick waterproof gloves, regardless of weight.

You can't live without a watch outdoors. Record your every step, heart rate and stride. Compared with the first generation, the Gothic Vitix 2 watch has been greatly updated and upgraded, with a larger dial and longer battery life. Even in the city, its positioning is much more accurate. The most important thing is that it has 32GB of memory, which can store music, and it is no longer necessary to connect headphones with mobile phones, saving a lot of electricity.

I walked in Xixia Bangma 10 for more than 0 days. I record tracks all day, set alarm clocks and occasionally look at map navigation every day for 20 days. After returning home, there is still more than 40% electricity. If you add a music monitor, I wonder if you can consume all its electricity. For specific functions, you can search for keywords on various platforms to see professional evaluation.

Wearing thick socks on the feet is to keep warm on the one hand, and to prevent blisters on the feet on the other. The thicker the socks, the more comfortable it is to walk.

I brought several different brands of socks. Yurwang is a Nordic brand, and the whole series of products are merino wool, which is very comfortable to wear. I will also bring Dai's waterproof socks in case of emergency.

The snow cover is not necessarily worn only when it snows, but also when it rains or walks every day, which can prevent the trouser legs from getting dirty. You must take it with you when you go hiking in Tibet on National Day.

Simple crampons are necessary for the ice tower line of Mafeng Great Ring Road in Xixia State, otherwise wrestling is a trivial matter, and more importantly, you can take very good photos with it.

The biggest advantage of trekking poles is that they are light. Compared with other brands, Ke Nuo's carbon fiber trekking poles are cost-effective. If you like heavy trekking poles, or often go to places with many stones, you can consider buying metal trekking poles. Metal trekking poles have better wear resistance and support, but they will be much heavier.

Besides thermos cups, I personally like water bags for three reasons. First, I don't have to put down my bag to get a glass of water, so I can replenish water at any time. Second, I have little demand for hot water. Third, the water bag is lighter and can hold more water. I can fetch water from the camp. I used a Dortmund model with its own protective cover. Open the lid and then bite the water outlet and rotate it slightly to get the water, which is sanitary and convenient.

I wear Scappa Ranger shoes. This pair of shoes adopts exclusive V-sole design, which has strong anti-slip grip. At the same time, it is GORE-TEX waterproof and breathable fabric, which is not afraid of bad weather. Compared with many other walking shoes, it is much lighter, only about 475 grams.

No matter what brand you buy, you must walk outdoors under the condition of high help, which can prevent sprains and make you more energetic when you walk. Buy it and wear it a few times before going hiking. Never wear new shoes to go hiking. It is easy to rub your feet, and other problems will not be solved.

5. Don't miss these gadgets!

I personally recommend Xiaomi and Orico for charging treasure.

Both of the above two charging treasures support fast charging. For me, the biggest advantage is that there will be no abnormality when charging the camera at work, and the power supply can be stable for a long time. I have used other brands before, and found that it broke down in a few minutes, or the camera was in an abnormal state, or even interrupted the process of time-delay shooting.

Because of the need of shooting, you usually take 1-2 bull patch panel when you go out, which is convenient for fast charging and notebook work. I also bring a green multi-port usb charger to charge other electronic devices such as cameras, headlights and spare batteries.

In the high altitude and low temperature environment, the all-metal card reader will be greatly affected, and the reading speed is even lower than 1M/ s, so if you have the need of copying materials at low temperature, it is recommended to buy a wired card reader with a plastic shell.

Cameras and mobile phones are not recommended, because I am a photographer and have a lot of equipment, so I don't have public reference. The specific equipment models are as follows, and the pictures in this paper are all taken by these equipment.

Mobile phone: Sony Xperia 1 Mark2

Camera: Sony RX0IIA7R2 A7R3

Lens:12mmf2.824-70mmf2.8100-400mmf4.5-5.6.

There are also two tripods and other shooting equipment, so I won't go into details.

Bath bags range from a few dollars to several hundred dollars. Other first aid kits, stoves, small mazar, water cups, etc. You can choose according to your own needs.

As for the most important item-bag, I took three bags from home, two camel bags, 1 backpack. The functions are hotel storage 1, mountain storage 1 and back storage 1.

I chose an osprey camel bag with wheels, 120L.

The advantage of this bag is that you can put things anywhere, and it has a lot of space. The wheels are secret weapons and are super durable. Often walk from the second floor to the 1 building and drag it directly. There is nothing wrong with the wheels and the support frame, which is very awesome. At most, 40KG of luggage is loaded, which is very labor-saving.

Camel bags are used for traveling lightly, so they are waterproof and wear-resistant.

I also use Dortmund, Fautrat 32L, ginger, and the photo effect is very good. I mainly pack 1 water bag, 1-2 clothes, 15 inch pro, 2 cameras, 3 lenses, road meals, raincoats, umbrellas, etc. They are all 10 kilograms, which is much more comfortable than the Sutter 30L I carried before.

Needless to say, everyone knows that all three BBA cars are here, and the backpacks are not bad. They are guaranteed for five years and can be used at will. If they are broken, ask them to repair them.

Having said so much in bits and pieces,

I hope I can give you some practical reference from my personal experience.

If you have a good recommendation for outdoor equipment,

Also welcome to leave a message to communicate together.

Shan Ye doesn't have exact figures,

Besides choosing a reliable team to travel with,

More importantly, you are responsible for yourself.

Only when we are well prepared can we be well prepared.
