Master skills for crossing the slopes and snow

In the mountains, in order to avoid disorientation, save physical strength, improve the speed of progress, and strive to have a path to not cross the mountains, there is no road to take the road. If there are no roads, you can choose to travel on the vertical hills, ridges, mountainsides, and the edges of rivers, as well as on the topography of trees, thin forests, large gaps, and low grass. Generally do not go deep deep valleys and lush grass, vines and intertwined places, and strive to take the beam does not walk the ditch, do not walk horizontally. The march should follow the principle of strides, and so does the mountains. If we increase the pace, we will take three steps and make two steps. If we go down tens of kilometers, we can take many steps and save a lot of energy. As the saying goes: "If you are afraid of slow, you are afraid of standing." When tired, apply a relaxed, slow walk to rest instead of stopping for a minute or tens of meters as you walk slowly.

Walking in the mountains, you will often encounter various rock slopes and steep walls. Therefore, climbing the rock is the main skill of climbing. Before climbing the rock, carefully observe the rock, carefully identify the quality of the rock and the degree of weathering, and then determine the direction of the climb and the route of passage.

The most basic method of climbing a rock is the "fixed three points" method, which requires that the climber's hands and feet do a good job. After both hands or feet are fixed, move the other points again so that the body's center of gravity gradually rises. When using this method, it is necessary to prevent jumps and rapid advances, and to avoid the two points moving at the same time, and be sure to be stable, light, and fast. According to your own situation, choose the most suitable distance and the most stable pivot point, and do not stride forward. Grab and go too far.

Grass slopes and gravel slopes are the most widely distributed terrain in the mountains. In mountainous areas below 3,000 meters above sea level, grass slopes and gravel slopes are almost all but cliffs.

Climbing slopes below 30 degrees can rise in a straight line. The body leans forward slightly, and the entire foot touches the ground, his knees are bent, his legs are out of figure eight, and he should not be too big or too fast. When the slope is greater than 30 degrees, climbing along a straight line is more difficult. Because the two-legged wrist joints do not stretch well, they are prone to fatigue; the slopes are large, the gravel is easy to roll, and it is easy to slip. Therefore, the "Zigzag" ascent method is generally adopted. That is, according to the "zigzag" shape line obliquely upward. When climbing, the legs are slightly curved, the upper body is leaned forward, the inner toe is forward, the entire foot is on the ground, and the lateral toe is slightly outward. When passing the grass slope, be careful not to scratch the trees and climb the grass so as not to cause people to fall. When walking on the gravel slope, special attention should be paid to the fact that the foot should be practical and the foot should be light so that the gravel will not roll.

When you accidentally go on a slide, you should immediately face the slopes, open your arms, straighten your legs (turn your toes up), and move your body's center of gravity as much as possible to reduce the speed of your gliding. In this way, you can try to find climbers and supports in the gliding. Never sit face to face because it will not only slide faster, but it will also roll over on steeper slopes. During the rainy season in the mountains, we should avoid low-lying lands such as valleys and rivers to prevent mountain torrents and landslides. In the event of a thunderstorm, you should immediately go to the nearby low-lying land or thick bushes, and do not hide under the tall trees. The trees often attract landmines and cause lightning strikes. In lightning storms, metal objects should be temporarily stored in an easily accessible place, not on your body, or you can seek shelter in a low-lying area.

In case of severe weather such as snow, heavy fog, strong winds, etc. in the mountains, you should stop the journey, avoid the cliffs or caves, and wait until the weather improves.

Do not overestimate your physical strength while walking in the mountains. If you are tired, you should rest in time. Do not rest until you are tired and rest. It is not easy to recover your strength. The correct way is to take a long walk, relax slowly, or stop for a rest and adjust your breathing. When standing and resting, do not remove the backpack. You can support a wooden stick under the backpack to reduce the weight. If the weather is cold, do not take a rest on the stone. The stone will quickly absorb the body's heat.
