4hw.com.cn: Recently, the death of overseas students in mountaineering has attracted attention from all walks of life. A 22-year-old Chinese woman who was studying in the United States was killed by a torrent when she was climbing in Mount Rainier National Park in Washington state.
The park official said the 22-year-old Yue Qing, who hiked on the northern loop trail last Wednesday, was washed away by water as he tried to cross the West Branch of the White River, according to the NBC's king 5 news 29 daily.
According to the report, a mountaineer witnessed Yue Qing being washed away, but did not know where she was washed away. After they informed Yuanfang of the situation, the search and rescue personnel launched a search. Later, with the help of police helicopters, Yueqing's body was found, two days after it was washed away by water.
"It's very dangerous to cross the river at this time of the year," the park said. "Even hikers with rich experience, knowledge and skills need newspaper vigilance.".
This is not the first time that Chinese students have died in an accident while climbing in the United States. In May last year, a 27 year old Chinese female student died while climbing Mount Whitney in California. The body was found under an icefall and police believe she fell from about 18 meters to her death. The snow is deep and the road is slippery.
What are the precautions for outdoor mountaineering?
1. Every mountain climbing more than 1000 meters needs careful planning. (including distance, accommodation, weather, foot strength, equipment, estimated time, etc., do not be greedy and have a fluke mentality, otherwise you may be trapped in the hillside, and there is no way to enter the earth. There should be at least two plans, taking into account the worst force majeure factors, such as: rainstorm, cool sun, snow, animals, etc.).
2. Climbing should be accompanied by at least three people. Otherwise, a circle of steps will defeat your physical and psychological defense lines.
3. When climbing, you should go early or late, otherwise you may encounter the sun exposure at noon; or after a morning's sunshine, the water vapor in the mountain is easy to condense, and the climate of the mountain is changeable, so it is easy to rain in the afternoon. The weather in the morning is relatively stable, so it is suitable for climbing.
4. Take a good rest the day before climbing. Don't put on a 'dragon gate array' (ChAT) and take a bath, because there may be no place to take a bath on the mountain.
5. Don't eat too much before you start, otherwise you will not be able to solve the problem of gastrointestinal problems for a while and a half on the mountain.
6. Book a hotel for accommodation before you leave. It will make the journey more purposeful and time conscious.
7. Watch the weather forecast.
8. Some people may choose to take a car to the top of the mountain and then choose to walk down the mountain, but 'it's easy to go up the mountain, and it's difficult to go down the mountain'. The load on both sides of the calf muscles and knee joints when going down the mountain is several times that when going up the mountain, and it's not like going up the mountain, the cooler you walk, the more sense of achievement.
9. Finally, remind me. Choose climbing partners, no matter men or women, it's better to choose friends who are strong, strong, independent and have a certain sense of teamwork. Otherwise, being too fat or too thin, or too weak or too sick, is a blow to a mountaineering team. It is likely to lose all its achievements or delay time by two or three times. Note: it is better not to try all female team mountaineering.
2、 Equipment
1. Take a bigger bag with you. The first is to pack more things; the second is to climb the mountain more convenient, not so many pieces in hand; the third, in case of meeting monkeys, eagles and other wild animals, they can be prevented from grabbing bags.
2. The travel bag should be strong, waterproof (if possible), with buckle, multi pocket, bright color (such as red, yellow, etc.), fluorescent (if possible), etc.
3. It's better to take a hat with the sun to keep out the light; without the sun to absorb the sweat from the head, it's more convenient to climb the mountain.
4. Students with glasses should bring glasses boxes.
5. Take an umbrella and raincoat whether it rains or not. To reduce weight, you can buy two or three bags of disposable raincoats.
6. It's better not to take the facial cleanser, otherwise it's not easy to clean up the full package sprinkled; but you can take toothbrush and small tube toothpaste.
7. If you don't want to finish the above, you can bring sugar free gum.
8. Be sure to bring sunscreen.
9. Don't wear ornaments. If you lose them on the edge of a cliff, it's not a small loss.
10. It's cold on the mountain. Besides two or three sets of laundry, long sleeved trousers are also needed.
11. Take some ropes to hang heavy things, dry wet clothes and act as belts. equipment
12. Shoes must bring a pair of tourist shoes and a pair of sandals (or slippers), because the rain will make the shoes all wet, that kind of feeling is not like death. 13. Take a local map with you, but don't worry too much about the mileage shown above, because it's basically bullshit.
14. Never bring a game console or walkman. First, it's a matter of weight. It's a matter of vulnerability and loss.
15. It's OK to bring a camera, but it's better to have a hard protective box.
16. Be sure to bring a mobile phone, contact at any time, and charge the charge, although there may not be half a signal at the top of the mountain.
17. We must take some medicine to treat cold, fever, allergy (rhinitis, asthma), heatstroke, diarrhea, heat, carsickness, bruise, muscle strain, etc. (it's better to plan well and take part with one person.).
18. Take a flashlight for at least one person, and it's better to have one that can generate electricity manually.
19. Take as many plastic bags as you can, put dry clothes in, and keep the fire; otherwise, it will rain, and everything will be over.
20. Buy a bottle of 1.5 liter mineral water for each person, don't be too heavy, because this water will be consumed in four hours.
21. Ensure that all electrical appliances are fully charged before departure.
22. Liquid medicine with mosquito prevention.
23. Take enough money, at least 500 yuan for two-day tour, and increase or decrease according to the length of days. The credit card is invalid on the mountain.
Take a towel and you will know how useful it is. Wipe sweat, wipe face, cool down.
The above is applicable to the developed mountain, and the barren mountain is invalid. The backpack should be as light as possible, do not bring too much food, occupy space and heavy, and there are usually small restaurants on the mountain, which can be replenished at any time. So bring more money.
3、 Accommodation
1. Eating in the mountains should be simple. It's important to eat well.
2. It doesn't matter to stay in a hotel, but the price is a little high. If you are trapped in the mountain, you can stay in a local temple.
3. If you live in a temple, you may encounter sleeping conditions (a dozen people live in a room, mixed by men and women). At this time, you should take good care of your valuables. Men should play a gentlemanly role to protect women's personal safety.
4. There should be a plan for spending, not a big deal.
4、 Mentality
Climbing is a kind of exercise for body and mind, which is beneficial and harmless (of course, choose a safer mountain). At this time, we should play the spirit of "three not afraid" -- not afraid of suffering, not afraid of dirty, not afraid of tired.
Men should take the initiative to help women carry heavy loads and be pioneers; women should also properly shade men's umbrellas. Along the way, we must be in a cheerful mood, talking and laughing, so it will be a lot easier to walk on the mountain road.
Don't say anything like 'I don't want to come' or make you angry or unhappy, because you are a team. At this time, you need to stay together and share the difficulties. Otherwise, it will be a blow to morale and affect everyone's liking for you.
Everyone must want to go home, looking at the mountain road in front of us, the steps behind us, who doesn't have soft thighs and shivering calves. It's OK to say a word properly to dispel emotion, but it should be moderate. And don't attribute responsibility to one person. Be grateful for each other's help.
5、 Mountaineering skills
Exercise well
It is necessary to do some warm-up before climbing if the mountain to be climbed is relatively high or usually less involved in climbing. That is, use 10-20 minutes to do some muscle stretching exercises, try to relax the muscles of the whole body, so that you will feel a lot easier when climbing.
Increase bounce
When climbing upward, we intentionally add some jumping movements in each step, which not only saves effort, but also makes people look energetic and energetic.
Don't always look high
When climbing, don't always look up, especially at the beginning, because the legs haven't adapted to this activity, looking up will make people feel tired and dizzy. It's best to keep your eyes three or five meters ahead.
Distraction
Do not always think about how high the mountain is and how much time it will take to climb it. Don't panic and don't rush. Only by walking and stopping can you realize the fun of mountain climbing and don't miss the beautiful scenery. When you are tired, you can watch the surrounding scenery more, or sing songs to distract your attention, and your tiredness will be reduced.
Go down the mountain and relax
When you go down the mountain, you should release your muscles in time. Otherwise, you may have leg pain, thigh pain or body ache. Because more or less after exercise in the body will produce some by-products - lactic acid, will make the muscle stiff and aching. Relax muscles in time, can make the effect of reducing fat and shaping better. Relaxation can be carried out on the parts (waist, buttock, big and small legs) that are prone to pain. Stretch and relax. Each movement is still stretched for 10-30 seconds, alternately on both sides.
6、 Emergency response plan
1. Primary school textbooks tell us that the zigzag walking method of "mountain Porter" is very labor-saving, and it is applicable to both up and down the mountain.
2. It's better to take a rest for 2-3 Li when going up the mountain. Too frequent or the opposite is not conducive to the later journey.
3. It's better to enjoy the scenery or chat with others while climbing, which can relieve the pressure. The best route is to choose more scenic spots.
4. Don't panic if someone has a sprain or bruise. First of all, disinfect and apply medicine. If you can't walk, you should be supported or carried by others. The ambulance can't get up.
5. Don't try to compete with others in speed or gallop when you start to be energetic, because your legs won't listen to you at all.
6. Don't tease or frighten a small animal like a monkey, because it may attack human beings.
7. Walking in a row on the mountain road at night, two boys at the front and two boys at the back, lighting the road with flashlight to prevent wrestling.
