If

Wandering is a mission

pray

Able to be calm

May time be fragrant

Enjoy the rest of your life

May old friends never leave

In the end, they will all be collected beautifully.

Jiangsanglam Peak:

At an altitude of 6536 meters, it is located in the Lagui Gangri Mountains, at the junction of Gyantse County in Shigatse and Langkazi County in Shannan Prefecture, Tibet. It is revered as the "Goddess of Wisdom" by the locals.

Viewed from the top, there are six 7,000-meter peaks around Jiangsanglam Mountain, namely: Ningjin Kangsha Peak (7,206 meters), Nyenchen Tanglha (7,160 meters), Qiongmu Gangri, Dromlage, and Heating Ka, Kula Gangri, and more than 20 6,000-meter peaks.

Qiang Ningcuo:

 

A lake hidden between Yamdrok Yumco and Pumok Yumco is an inland freshwater lake. Especially between the two sacred lakes, there are many temples. Every year, a large number of devout believers come to offer incense and worship Buddha. Affected by Yamdrok Yumco, Jiangsanlam and the Ningjin sand-resistant area in the north have heavy rainfall in summer, and there are often thunder and lightning weather, which will cause certain difficulties for climbers. Every year from April to May, September to October Month is the best season for climbing. When entering the mountain from July to August, you must decide your itinerary according to the weather at any time.

The advancement and retreat of glaciers is a manifestation of climate and environmental changes. Glacier action has a certain relationship with the rise and fall of the lake water level. It was discovered that there are many levels of ancient lake shorelines. It proves that the lake has experienced multiple rises and falls in the lake level.

 

What we call traditional climbing routes are:

 

Climbing southward along the Karula Glacier, establishing C1 and C2 camps on the glacier and the grain snow basin respectively, and climbing to the top from the snow slope just north of the mountain top. The base camp of Jiangsanglam Peak is built at 4800 meters, and the summit is 6558 meters. The total number of climbs The altitude is 1,900 meters, and the climb from base camp to the summit is about 10 kilometers, with a long climbing route.

 

 

( Note): Considering the low latitude of the mountain peaks and heavy rainfall, it may always be a deep snow terrain with soft snow layers, which makes movement difficult and requires too much physical effort. It is necessary to act as early as possible to avoid it. In the afternoon when the snow is softer. However, the overall mountain terrain of Jiangsanglam is gentle and there is no risk of avalanche. The biggest danger may be getting lost due to low visibility. You need to put road flags along the road and carry a compass, whistle and other equipment.

 

We did not reach the summit this time, mainly because my teammates took care of me, because my ice climbing equipment was not professional enough and was still dangerous.

Looking back on these years, I feel that I have made progress. It’s not that I make more money than before, because I don’t seek wealth and wealth in this life, I just want to be content; it’s that I have awakened from the inside and overcome my inner fear of the unknown. , overcoming the fear of encountering wild animals, overcoming the fear of being alone in the wilderness, from self-esteem, self-love to self-confidence, this process seems to have been completed completely, and I am no longer afraid of any loss, and many persistences have become It has to make sense.

 

Glacier ice is used to preserve matsutake mushrooms to ensure the best taste and freshness when eaten.

 

– Wild Horse: Tibetan Outdoor Master,

One year older than my parents

 

– Brother Dong: I have a lot of experience in outdoor climbing on glaciers.

 

– Brother Song: Traveling in pastoral areas in Tibet for 17 years

 

Now I want to talk about my teammates who are traveling together this time:

Brother Yema carried the most weight and helped everyone carry gas tanks, beef, and vegetables, providing us with all the protection;

Brother Song is a great guy. He is probably the first person to climb the Jiangsanglam in leather shoes and jeans. He carries matsutake mushrooms and cooks all the way, hiding his secrets;

Brother Dong silently helped everyone take videos along the way, recording some dangerous and precious clips.

– First night camping site: 5240m above sea level

Mind is the deep essence of our heart,

It is also the truth we are looking for.

U have seen me at my worst, yet u think that I am the best.

You've seen me at my worst and still believe I'm the best.

– I only send these words to my teammates this time.

– puddles of thin ice the next morning,

It is also our water supply place

 

– Switching directions and soaking sweet potato starch overnight

 

–This is the best meal I’ve ever had outdoors

A meal of yak meat, cucumber, lettuce and sweet potato noodles

the nature of transformation,

It’s not the external replacement of the old with the new,

It is the reconstruction of the inner self.

White clouds stand humbly in the corner of the sky,

The morning light gives it a glow.

If there are no difficulties or obstacles,

There is no power to transcend.

Some people like creeks because they have never seen the sea.

"I've seen the Milky Way, but I only love one star" .

 

I only started hiking in 2018. It really hasn’t been that long, but the outdoor circle is also very small. In the past two years, I have met and met many self-proclaimed outdoor masters on the road. But when I really go outdoors, in difficult moments, and encounter wild animals When animals and food are not enough, many people's actions will make you become accustomed to it from surprise. Many times in the wilderness, you are coexisting with human nature . Therefore, I cherish the people I travel with every time more than the beautiful scenery. I will only choose to travel with people who have the same ideas. Just like this trip to the glacier, the four of us traveled together with the same ideas, the same steps, and a tacit understanding. The difficulties along the way were overcome by the love for the wilderness in our hearts. The three eldest brothers have all stayed in Tibet longer than me, but our original intention for the outdoors has always remained the same.

 

 

The stars in the sky here are brighter than those in my hometown.

I might be able to see better on this plateau

The true face of life and happiness,

I cherish.

There are many people at the foot of the mountain,

See you at the top of the mountain.
