Mountain disaster in Siguniang mountain latest rescue information
According to the Sichuan Mountaineering Association, a climber slipped and fell near the Dafeng pass of Siguniang mountain this morning. The climber fell towards Changping ditch and died.
Located in Xiaojin County, Aba Prefecture, Siguniang mountain is composed of four peaks, from high to low, namely Yaomei peak, sanguniang peak, erguniang peak and daguniang peak (also known as daguniang). The altitude of daguniang peak is 5025m. It is the peak with the lowest difficulty to climb among the four peaks, also known as the starting peak of climbers.
According to the news from Siguniang mountain, it has snowed recently. After sunny, the snow melts during the day and freezes at night. The climbing route is very wet and slippery.
According to informed sources, the victims slid directly from the crosscut of the pass to the vicinity of Sanfeng, with an altitude difference of hundreds of meters.
It is reported that there are a large number of rescue workers on the mountain, and the remains have not been transported down the mountain.
In 2018, mountain disasters also occurred in Siguniang mountain
On February 2, 2018, three mountain friends (two men and one woman) from Guangdong encountered an accident while climbing Xuanwu peak in Siguniang mountain area. Immediately, rescue workers launched a multi-party search and rescue, and finally found the body of the girl at noon on February 4.
After many interviews and inquiries, outdoor adventure tries to restore the true situation of the event. The final situation shall be subject to the accident report officially released later.
A delegation of 51 people from Guangdong, including Chen, Wei and Huang, arrived at shuangqiaogou scenic spot on the evening of January 22 for a 7-day ice climbing winter training, of which Wei and Huang were lovers.
On the afternoon of January 29, after the ice climbing training, most personnel left shuangqiaogou scenic spot. Wei and other mountain friends climbed the four girls and three peaks in the 29th and 30th days. Then on the 31st, they joined Huang who returned to shuangqiaogou and planned to climb the Xuanwu peak in shuangqiaogou from the 1st to the 2nd.
At about 7 a.m. on February 1, Wei, Chen, Huang and another fellow traveler entered shuangqiaogou scenic area and went to Xuanwu peak base camp. During this period, the fellow Walker withdrew to shuangqiaogou due to physical reasons. That night, Wei, Chen and Huang slept in xuanwufeng base camp.
At 8:00 a.m. on February 2, Wei and his party set out from the Xuanwu peak base camp to rush to the top, during which (it is said) they encountered falling rocks and slides.
During the climbing process, Chen stopped climbing due to lack of strength. Wei and Huang continued to rush to the top. They climbed the top at about 6 p.m. At about 8 p.m., Huang slipped and fell at an altitude of about 5200 meters.
At the same time, on that night, Wei and his companions who withdrew from shuangqiaogou found that Chen, Wei and Huang did not return at the agreed time. They had a hunch that an accident had occurred, so they contacted Xu Laoyao, an outdoor mountain exploration team of the mountain peak.
As the night was dark that night and the rescue could not be carried out, Xu Laoyao organized two local people to rush to Xuanwu peak to carry out search and rescue along the climbing route at 8 a.m. the next day (February 3).
Meanwhile, Siguniang mountain scenic area received a report that three Guangdong Shanyou climbed Xuanwu peak and one lost contact and asked for rescue:
After receiving the report, Geng of our bureau immediately started the emergency plan and urgently sent five team members with high mountain rescue experience to form a search and rescue team to carry out search and rescue work in the past place before emergency.
- the official account of Four Girls Mountain scenic area: "a friend of Guangdong mountain climbing privately, climbing up Xuanwu peak, missing the Four Girls Mountain authority's search and rescue team emergency rescue".
The search and rescue team successively found Chen and Wei on the mountain: at 9 a.m., they cooperated to find Wei who withdrew from Xuanwu peak. Wei told the search and rescue personnel that the accident site was about 5100 meters above sea level.
After climbing day and night, Wei collapsed physically and was unconscious. In addition, he withdrew at night and was unable to identify Huang's last position.
During the search and rescue, the fog on the 3rd brought great difficulties to the search and rescue work.
The weather deteriorated during the day, and the continuous snowfall made the visual range very small, which also brought great danger to the search and rescue work itself.
The search and rescue work continued until 8 p.m. that night, and no trace of Huang was found.
In order to ensure the safety of rescuers, all rescuers withdrew on the same day.
On the evening of the 3rd, the rescue team asked Wei and Chen about the specific location and detailed process of the accident again, and redrafted the rescue plan.
At 4 a.m. on the 4th, Xu Guihua (Xu Laoyao) personally took the search and rescue personnel up the mountain. Due to excessive physical exertion of Wei and Chen the day before yesterday, in order to ensure the safety of the rescue process, they did not go up the mountain again at the suggestion of rescuers.
At 4 p.m. that day, the search and rescue team looked down from an altitude of 5300 meters and identified the climbers through their coats.
Then the search and rescue team went to 5200 meters and shouted and observed 30 meters away from Huang. No signs of life were found.
Due to the loose rock mass at the distress location and the heavy snow in the past two days, all rescue workers withdrew and planned to transport Huang's body down the mountain after the weather improved on the 5th.
The approximate accident location inferred from the video taken by the rescuers, and the specific location shall be subject to the accident report. The blue line on the way is the approximate climbing route.
Xuanwu peak, 5383 meters above sea level, is a technical peak between changpinggou and shuangqiaogou. Its southeast ridge is connected with the famous Pamu peak.
The mountain was hidden in the mountains of shuangqiaogou and had no special name at first.
Japanese mountaineer Kenzo Okawa once photographed this peak near Po Miao Haizi when he was a consultant of Siguniang mountain scenic spot, but only marked 'peak 5383 on the north of Po Miao'.
On September 16, 2009, Li Hongxue (Ultimate Lee), Xu Guihua (Xu Laoyao) and LV Fengjian (Lao LV) climbed the peak for the first time. Their first route from the west wall to the southwest ridge has also become the traditional route of Xuanwu peak. Later, the three felt that the west wall of the mountain looked like the Xuanwu peak among the four ancient divine beasts, so they named the mountain Xuanwu peak.
Xuanwu peak usually only needs one camp. The base camp is set at an altitude of about 4600 meters. Some teams will set C1 camp at the end of the glacier at an altitude of 5000-5100 meters.
The mountain has high technical requirements for climbers, and the ice rock mixed section on the line is more difficult.
Li Hongxue, who first climbed Xuanwu peak, described the difficulty of the route in the climbing report as follows:
Technical line length: 600m
Route difficulty: IV, wi3 +, M4, snow50 & deg- 80°
Technically, Xuanwu peak can be climbed all year round. However, as the mountain is located in the Siguniang Mountain National Nature Reserve, the scenic spot is nominally not allowed to climb, so it is impossible to go through the climbing procedures. But many mountain friends climb the mountain all the year round.
The mountain disaster is the result we don't want to see.
It is true that the party involved in the mountain disaster bears great responsibility, but we should not make assumptions and presumptuous inferences when he is still suffering from grief, so as to criticize and attack the party personally from the perspective of human nature.
The mountain disaster has happened. The significance of passing away is that future climbers can move forward steadily. We should calmly analyze and learn from our grief.
We should also see the selfless efforts of local guides, collaborators and other groups of climbers after the accident.
We should pay high tribute to them.
We expect Shanyou to view the mountain disaster rationally and comprehensively. We also welcome everyone to discuss in the comments: how can we avoid such a tragedy from happening again?
