Tibet, the wonderful and mysterious place, in recent years has been tourism and adventure-loving friends longing for place. As for me, too, although have been to Tibet twice, but still there are so many dreams and magic of the land Napian are inextricably linked, I miss her every moment.
During the year, 51 my third trip to the Tibetan cause is that we whitecaps outdoor activities club climbers need to go to Tibet to participate in organized Tibet Sports Bureau hosted the Tibetan climbers "Kai Zi-peak" mountain climbing trip adventure activities, to challenge the elevation 6206 meters for the Kai Zi-Feng; the same time, I think the impulse to achieve the other two dreams in my heart since then has also cultivated, and constantly stimulated my nerves. It was so carefully prepared, I took my three dream expedition set foot on the road westbound: Towards a successful ascent Kai Zi-feng, becoming the first Tibetan history, the individual amateur radio operator, challenging high-altitude region (about 5,000 meters above sea level ) paragliding flight.
Brownsea expedition to Qi Zi-feng
Qi Zi peak at Yangbajing Tibet region, elevation 6206 meters, which belongs to the low difficulty of the southern slope of the line, but the climbing route is longer, the northern slope is so steep terrain by Bing Bi composition, a higher degree of difficulty of the route as mountaineering activities are from the amateur climbers all over the country, so this we are all in the southern slope to climb.
Qi Zi mountain peak during three camps were set up, namely stronghold BC (elevation 4650 meters), advance base camp ABC (elevation 5250 meters), and surprise the camp C1 (elevation 5850 meters), from left base camp to climb back to base camp, usually takes about 4 days.
We are a total of nine climbers Brownsea players prepare in advance will be opened in Shanghai, after the end of April, arrived in Lhasa before the stages and in groups. Which Gander on April 23 on the left for Lhasa to help people fight outpost auspicious day for everyone in the hotel rooms booked; YAK, small Chu, Xiao Ling, also 26, arrived in Lhasa; Hangzhou's "self-control" on its own through Xining, Golmud car arrived in Lhasa on the 27th; the only female member Xiao Zhang, also 27, flew from Chengdu to Lhasa; "curtain", "spoon" and I were 28 direct flights from Shanghai to Lhasa, everyone converging at the auspicious day, night FB in Lhasa, the meal properly.
April 29
Early in the morning, we got up, packed their bags and easy way to resolve the breakfast, they went to a direct fight the seat of the Tibetan expedition team set to report. Unloading equipment, and everyone spontaneously took out sunscreen, straining to go to his face painted, and made quite a theatrical troupe as the year before the performance of the makeup. "Transformation" End of makeup, we have whitecaps mountaineering expedition in Tibet, in front of a souvenir photo.
More than 10 points, all the players and some coaches would climb a couple of cars left Lhasa, the direction towards Yangbajing Zi Feng Kai. They pass through Yangbajing geothermal area, we have off take pictures, and looking at steaming pool, think of a few days we will be better than no chance of taking a bath, we all vowed to come down first thing to Yangbajing hot spring (the fact that Later on, I have spent nine days in the mountains as long).
The afternoon we arrived at base camp 4650 meters above sea level, Dajiadumang in setting up their own tents, organize their own goods and equipment, a number of team members, including myself, have a mild altitude sickness. Climbers in Tibet (hereafter referred to as Tibet Team) Zhang and other coaches to help, we dug a big pit, from Lhasa to bring the 10-meter-long tree trunks stand pit, buried stones, filling , I finally 7/21MHz of my short-wave inverted "V" antenna set up is completed, only done these, I am already tired unbearable, sitting on the floor breath for a very long time, and then amateur radio communications has also cost me a lot physical.
The evening, by the Tibetan mountaineering team coaches to those of us who participate in mountain climbing activities, mountain climbers talk about Tibet's history and development teams, while watching the Tibet expedition to 8,000 meters over 14 peaks of the video. (8,000 meters in Tibet Challenge 14 climbers have been successfully conquered 11 peaks, and now they are climbing the world's second highest peak K2 ----- Djoghri peaks in the process of where to wish them all the best!)
April 30
Today is the adaptability training arrangements, and our trip was to climb from base camp at 4950 meters above sea level around a hill. I have since the day before the antennas and communications, rest too late, so the morning together to feel good condition. I stumbled along to come to camp east of temporary toilets, in the cold wind rush to "solve" after, and went to finishing equipment, but found himself poor stamina, and decided Kong Shen and everyone on.
Large forces in the Gui Sang, led by a teacher to leave the base camp, up the road. Gui Sang teacher is the world's currently the only two women climb Mount Everest, a strong ability in all aspects of natural Needless to say, but treat people very kindly, so we called her Sister Gui Sang. 1 hour, we arrived at about 4850 meters above sea level Galuo Temple. Galuo Um Although no other than the well-known Tibetan Buddhist temple, but also appears to patchwork. A total of more than 100 monks Annei nun, year-round living on the slopes is almost isolated, so are looking at us with curious eyes wearing some of these strange and "all right" weight-bearing mountain people.
At this point I have felt very tired and does not seem very serious consequences for a good rest and decided to rest in situ. Wangka captain (also hidden team vice captain, commander of the event) in the side of the constantly encouraged me, let me slow down the speed slowly. Helpless I really wanted to rest, sitting next to a big rock, and Wang Canadian captain let me standing waiting for them to come back. At this time, days suddenly changed, the sky Piaoqi the snow, I simply took out the beef jerky, alone to enjoy the snow since ... ...
At noon, we returned to base camp. After lunch, we each receive the missing climbers and equipment, I have dipped into the command tent after another, to continue to contact friends in the air ... ...

Today is International Labor Day, we all got up early, finishing their backpacks and equipment. I am also a good night without a break, so a little up and behind halo. I finished quickly organize all of the equipment, including: long ice ax, crampons, safety belts, risers, spanned by a chain, flat belt, ATC and other snow equipment and sleeping bags, mats and other living supplies moisture. We focus on the middle ground on the headquarters, held a simple ceremony of departure from the Canadian captain, Wang reiterated the safety precautions and wish you success.
9:30, we left the base camp toward the advance base camp embarked on ABC. From the base camp to advance base camp, elevation to rise nearly 600 meters, and stroke was at least 12 km. Everyone in the Gui Sang older sister under the leadership of the word Hydra array arranged in single file ahead. Quickly reached yesterday that hill, and we rest in the next streamer also saw the peak of Kai Zi-feng, the mountain is so beautiful. After a short break, we set off again, we have a good physical team whitecaps YAK, self-control, Gander, and several were walking in the ranks of the earlier, followed by Gui Sang big sister, I walked in the more leisurely behind walking with the GPS in measuring elevation and records of our travel routes.
The latter half of the road, we are almost dry riverbed along the central valley road, one looked, all those small rocks. We are carrying a backpack is not a light in those stones is almost leap to move forward, ankle and knee have to bear a greater impact. With rising altitude, you can see the bushes along the road had been gradually disappeared, to be taken and that some of the Rhodiola and other plants, and occasionally we can see that the opposite is also climbing on the cliffs of the blue sheep, but their walking easier than we许多.
Line to a small col Leeward Office, Gui Sang eldest sister let everyone rest stop to address the lunch, by the way wait a minute behind the team. I have also come up with road meals, although the body is still unwell, but force yourself to nibble a chicken. I was eating pancakes, the next mountain climbers in a cup of hot water delivery, I am grateful I also experience the happiness of life, experience the sincere friendship, to experience the kind of found that at the request sometimes can become so caused by low happiness.
Lu is still is still at the foot and jumped over a big shipo, the immediate is also a big slope. Boundless the end of the slope, but also eat me strength and will. My eyes from time to time to see my GPS, hoped that it would soon show has come to an elevation of 5200 meters. Helpless it is always worse honestly tell me that 200 meters, 150 meters, 100 meters ... ...
Finally to the 5200 meters, my field of vision where there have been several top-green tents. Ah! That is the ABC. Finally, is there a slope. I would like at this point had been almost burn the lamp, no matter how dial rush, the flame is getting smaller and smaller ... ... estimated to take about 25 minutes later, I finally climbed the slope that Road. I went to the advance base camp ABC.

Yesterday's food fairly well, the Tibetan team is really first-class logistics services. However, as tired, and can only force myself to eat a little point and area, as much as possible to drink the water. Today, we start goal is about 5800 meters above sea level raid camp C1. I have found that individual members of the plateau response appeared heavier by Gui Sang Sister inspection, the mind and fairly clear, so she and I talk good, arranged in collaboration persons designated mountain stronghold of his return today, escorted, and make further observations.
Because they have left ABC, we will be on the snow line, so everyone was finishing high altitude boots and crampons. Departure did not take long, we are on a snow slope of about 50 degrees before the stop, we started changing his shoes and set of crampons. Then I found the problem, my strap-adjustable crampons is hard, and from the Tibetan team match by the old-fashioned high altitude boots (my fault, contact the radio station at the base camp Zhi Gu, without careful checking. A profound lesson!), The last before reluctantly wear.
Tibet coach here has been pre-frame the way a good rope, so Hill got caught up risers faithful in turn, began to climb this snow slope, I also followed by a more smoothly passed. Next, all the way to walk in the snow and ice, basically, I stepped out along the road in front of everyone and footprints in advance. Snow walking, because of wearing high altitude boots and crampons, leg lift power to require greater, combined with the adhesion characteristics of the snow, action becomes very slow. I walked would also like to beat high altitude boots with the ice ax and crampon combination of department, in order to prevent Xuekuai after entering through the stamping press, where the impact on crampon work. Altitude sickness have disappeared, but I think his poor physical condition.
A march, we went to another longer and more steep snow slope before. Or the old way, we turn to climb with the risers. I climb into the half, when suddenly a supporting leg under his left foot slipped, who followed a fall down, my heart An Jiao "bad", thanks to risers firmly grasp the rope, I have that they will not slip fall. Concentrate one's attention after a look, I found my crampons off from high altitude boots on, but by bundling band also contains a link in my high altitude boots on. I can only put on ATC, remove the risers, down to the bottom of the slopes. Really want to come a bit scared, I would look at stabilizing their emotions, in the coach's help, to re-adjust crampons, although they are still not quite match, but barely able to cope with. I was careful to continue to climb, and finally after a period of snow slope, but in the subsequent journey, I also spend a great deal more strength to meet the match is not a good crampon.
The long march, I was finally around 3 in the afternoon saw the surprise C1 tent camp, but the cross is the last one in front of a long snow slope. I feel the spirit and energy faster to the limit, last paragraph of the slope, I was almost every walk 10 steps, stop and breathe on the 20 tone is as mechanically counting his own steps and breath, step by step ... ...
3:40, and I have come to raid the camp C1. An unloaded package, I sat on a bag on the breath for nearly five minutes before air fascinating stats. I slowly pulled out from the arms GPS, measuring the altitude and set the location of points.
Assault camp is 5856 meters above sea level C1.

Less than 4:00, the sky is just a light, I am on the "good", but in fact an entire night in a half awake state I have been among the people tired, but because a little stomach pain, but I can not sleep. Gui Sang outside the tent to hear Sister, Tenzin, Tashi, the small of their meters and other coaches have been together, and climbers are also urging you up as soon as possible.
I struggled for quite a while, but unfortunately his body was found very obedient, the first, though not pain, but more can be uncomfortable in the stomach. It took great pains to put on a high altitude boots, my strength has already consumes a half; seems to no longer strength to sets of crampons, and I tried three times, all unsuccessful; stomach feel a little diarrhea, I can only quickly drilled tent, looking for a place to resolve. Can be really cold outside!
I also drill back to the tent, listening to the wind rustle through the whistling outside sound mind thinking whether to go forward today, hoisting. My physical condition is indeed poor, and these days to eat and rest are not well carried out, exhaustion is very serious. Consideration is that if you really want to persist to the hoisting, I estimate the certainty of success, are not sufficient; Moreover, the principle of my own as little as possible to rely on someone else's power to mountain climbing, if I go out trying to continue to climb, descent necessarily need to be hidden on the way coach or collaborative assistance. But mind you really want to make a decision, but also there is so much pain ... ...
In this way mind repeatedly ask myself constantly, until the coach came and asked me before the moment, I finally decided that I will not continue up the. That moment the pain is like a cotton ball with alcohol in their own bleeding wounds wipe teammates in general ... ... basically starting to hear, and hearts wish them success! Really made a decision, but relieved my mind a lot.
Took about 2-3 hours, starting climb to the top of the mountain faithful were gradually returned to the C1, I watched them with envy happily talking about his own experience only in the side of the feeling of regret. I always carry out his wife Vivien and son with KK photos, silently watching, ask them in their hearts good, I always feel that we are three together in the snow-capped mountains to climb. At this point, three of us sat in the snow 5856 meters above sea level, along with looking at the peak, watching the blue sky, with the sense of man and the magic nature of the relationship between the wonderful ... ... I am holding Vivien and KK photos Please give me Tenzin coach took Zhang family portrait.
In the end, we have whitecaps mountaineers self-control, YAK, curtains, small Xiao Zhang Ling and female players, and other successful coaches and mountain climbers boarded the altitude of 6206 meters peak Kai Zi-feng. Congratulate them!
Then we began the descent to ABC. Good physical strength first team action, or even withdrawal of the base camp on the next day; most of the climbers on the next evacuated to ABC, where he breaks one night. Sure enough, as I expected, the state is not good I was using for a long time to come to ABC. I go back several times, looking at the peak, I know that given the chance, I definitely will come back. I fell several times during descent, have been hidden and collaboration coach selfless help, I am speechless moved.

Today is Youth Day. We have not got up early, because today's journey is not too tight, as long as you can camp under the withdrawal. Think of camp, we have a sense of coming home, we can not help but a fraction of the spirit are high. End clean up their own equipment, we began to walk down the hill after another. Down is difficult, more difficult in my stamina is also approaching the limit, but I insist on slowly, though very slow.
Encountered in mountain climbers ascending the ranks of the second group, their goal today is to ABC. We shake hands with each other, each other a voice, "worked hard" "I wish success", we continued on our way, and everything seemed so simple and rustic. When the march to the top of the ridge Karma Luo Temple, I saw that there wangka Shouhou captain, I do not know what touched my heart burst. Due to topographical constraints, the headquarters and the ABC and C1 can not be directly in radio communication, so every morning no matter what the weather wangka captain must take solid food, from the base camp climbing up more than 500 meters, sitting at the top slopes to the command. Wangka team captain and possession of the other coaches and co-workers demonstrated the dedication is worthy of our climbers learn from.
Lasted nearly six hours, I finally returned to base camp, feeling more than a lot of oxygen, we joke here is "enriched" response, the human spirit Yehao a lot.
In view of our group of mountain climbers in the mountaineering activities has ended, the team members directly to Lhasa and some corruption, and some consider the hot springs bubble to the Yangbajing. I continue to stay in base camp, in order to achieve the dream of my two other.
A few days later, I get up early to see the plateau, or sunrise, he served as the golden sunlight will illuminate the entire valley, but also my soul lit up transparent; or lazily sitting on the ground, his feet resting on the table on, drinking butter tea, watching the beautiful sunset and some tragic quietly being carried out, imagine the east more than 2000 kilometers away in the same latitude as the lights of Shanghai was already a scene sometime; and possession of large tents coach Wai the stove to eat watermelon, drinking I bought from the foot of the mountain Yangbajing pull beer (Lhasa beer, short), nibbling delicious Feng Li masters do attend to listen to them talking climb Mount Everest, Cho Oyu 8000 meters, etc. The story-level peaks, which tube was closed outside the blizzard shrouded Day; or anyone else involved wearing a snow mirror, lying down to see the plateau of the hawk-eagle in the sky flying ... ...
Here I go again, to thank our friends, for they gave me a lot of help, as well as happier times spent with the hope that we again have the opportunity to go mountain climbing. Thanks!
