A gang Snow Adventures (0-1)
This is a place in a long time ago little-known story, which is a long time living in the bustling town of Wenruan be able to feel the experience of people. Now, when I sit spacious and clean office, slowly blowing gently in the breeze of the avenue and back again to think of it first-hand experience of the past cases, it is already very "Arabian Nights" in feeling.
The spring of 1985, when Jiaojiang City, Zhejiang Province Meteorological forecasters call my response to the state aid to Tibet and went to the edge of no man's land is located in northern Tibet Xainza County engaged in predicting the work of meteorological stations. Here up to 4700 meters above sea level (more than 1000 meters higher than that in Lhasa), from the regional seat of the Naqu thousands of kilometers away (from the nearest neighboring districts, Bangor has more than 500 li)! Xainza County was a vast area of almost 3 Zhejiang large, but signs of human habitation is very rare, the entire population is less than 20000! The so-called "town" only five or 60 row houses, spawned more than 500. Xainza County was later split into three, set for the analysis Xainza County, Nyima County, and double-Lake Office (county level).
Xainza county to the west and south of the array with the rolling peaks Gangdise Mountains, elevation 6,000 meters generally. The highest peaks of which the bare named "A Gang", is located just south of weather station, elevation 6444 meters, is the highest peak in the Shandong section Gangdese, the Department of Tibetans in the eyes of the holy mountains, since ancient times has never been climbed.
For the snow-capped mountains, I always have a nameless yearning. Su said that the Tibetan people of the world as "snow", and I therefore do not think people who witnessed the snow-capped mountains hardly had actually been to Tibet. So in the aid-Tibet near the end, I did something the locals have never wanted to do ---- A gang climbed snow-capped mountains! That was in 1987, April 4.
I connected my crossing glaciers out of security concerns, but also see for himself a true capacity of snow-capped mountains, with the station two Tibetan friends Rada and Rob Tsering determined to accompany me climbing. We are a bit simple to prepare in advance a few days hiking equipment, such as yak rope, a long knife, Tie Zhang, water bottles, as well as cameras, binoculars and tripod, he also borrowed from the hospital, a pocket-sized oxygen cylinder.
Mountain the night before departure, Rada's wife, whose quietly A dry food prepared for us ---- fried bread. Through the flickering candlelight was flickering and red burning cow dung fire, I would like to see wife in her beautiful eyes, eyes showing concern ... ...
That morning, in my living room eating soup bowl, we three "warrior" was quietly the whole Beijing 7:00 left in marching frosty.
A weather station in Okayama Xainza the northern foot of the distance of nearly 10 kilometers away, in the middle need to cross Xainza zangbo both sides of the river and its wide marsh. After half an hour of the march, we came to the riverside. A time when open-ice seasons, Xainza zangbo River still remains the shore ice, when the main river on drifting ice floes in a row down. We are temporarily blocked by the broad river and the swift, bone-chilling water.
While we do nothing when I just spontaneously sprout up: Why not use large pieces of ice as ice-boat to cross the river shore? Three charges pushing so the next two are about four or five square meters, and six or seven square meters of ice plates, Rob Tsering volunteered to take the lead pilot on board the smaller ice sheet crossing. Seeing that the "ship" carrying Rob quickly crossed the main channel, we are trying to sail to celebrate a successful trial run, the fleet unable to withstand the ice boats and even jet rollover sudden shocks, Rob subsequently fell into the water! Fortunately, the river is not deep pain have not been drowned, but following their crotch all wet, almost like "La Tangji" the.
Norbu Tsering read "broadcast live" capsize drowning in panic after the shots and I also did not dare try Rada "ice boat to cross the river" is cited. We follow the river running up and down a long time, and finally found a ready to wade across the river shallow river.
Bone-chilling Kansui so we dare not take off shoes and socks, from time to time under the drift ice has not rolled up our trouser legs. Tolerate the ice water stung, we have thigh-deep rivers slowly turbulent journey safely through the cloth and Rob Xainza Tibet Tsering join.
To cross the river later, we continued on our way. Wind quickly drenched the legs of our hard-frozen Bang! So walked straight out squeak miles Kacha Bingzha! I pair pushing "ice boat" when wet cotton gloves, long been frozen into the ice lump, so that his hands could no longer be set in the (later also has been bare hands). We Jingan slow catch, finally scheduled to arrive by 10:00 at the northern foot of A Okayama.
Here next to one formed by the glacial melt water washed the great gorge, Taniguchi Department is a large area covered with rocks and boulders washed fan-shaped beach. A rocky beach in the middle of an estimate was made of the summer flood washed large ditch ditch has ice water flowing unimpeded.
After a short break and leave a photo, we started at 10 o'clock the whole climb.
