What should I pay attention to when going to Wu Tong in summer?

Summer is not a season suitable for mountain climbing, because the sun shines high in summer, the temperature is particularly high, and there is a lot of rain in summer; These unfavorable environmental factors will affect the performance of climbers. The most important thing is the physical performance of the climber. I'm not saying that summer is not suitable for mountaineering, but I just hope that all mountaineering enthusiasts will consider the above points before leaving, choose a suitable mountaineering route and reduce the newspaper coverage in the mountaineering circle.

Choice of clothes

Just like the mountaineering clothes I mentioned last year, in summer, to avoid direct sunburn of the skin by the sun, materials that absorb sweat and dry quickly are most suitable for mountaineering. Brightly colored clothes can reflect sunlight, thus reducing the body's heat.

Two killers in summer

Climbing mountains in hot summer can enjoy the fun of climbing mountains and exercise physical fitness. But we must be careful of the two killers of mountain climbing in summer, namely heatstroke and heatstroke. Just like the guidelines given by the coroner's court many years ago, we should know how to distinguish heatstroke from heatstroke failure. Because the two accidental killers have different handling methods, making mistakes separately may lead to serious consequences.

A nasty shower

Just like the government's propaganda slogan, summer is the rainy season. It rained almost all month in May and June. After July, the weather forecast of the Observatory often had sporadic showers. Moreover, this kind of decentralized shower makes climbers feel like a hot pot, and then add cold water, which is really uncomfortable. The whole July shower was a heavy rain. If you encounter this kind of heavy rain on the way to climb the mountain, sometimes you don't know what to do, because if you wear a raincoat, sweat will make your clothes wet. If you don't wear a raincoat, the heavy rain will get your clothes wet. The worst thing is that after the heavy rain, our clothes are soaked, and we have to continue on the road. If you have an umbrella in your hand at this time, you don't have to wear a raincoat and you won't get wet.

In hot summer, a small umbrella can bring you a lot of convenience. The hot sun can keep out the sun, and the heavy rain can also keep out the rain. In case of an accident, it can also help the injured keep out the sun.

route selection

To effectively reduce accidents, we must start with the mountaineering route. A well-designed mountaineering route should have a clear evacuation route, and it is best to have supplies and communication stations along the way. The length of the route and the range of ups and downs depend on the physical quality of each player. In addition to these factors, Xia Tianyi should also add two considerations. 1. There are water problems all the way. Some climbers think that the water pollution in the wild is too serious to drink. The author is not here to introduce you to drinking wild water sources; But in hot summer, washing your face and hands with cold mountain streams can make your summer heat disappear completely, thus reducing the crisis of heatstroke. 2. Does the selected hiking route need long exposure? Long-term exposure will make people lose water and salt, and the crisis of cramping and heatstroke is even greater. In order to make mountain climbing more comfortable in summer, the selected route is suitable for the trees in the middle, and at the same time, it will cross the stream in a suitable time.

Designing a suitable mountaineering route is also good for everyone involved in mountaineering. Maybe some climbers are on the verge of heatstroke. Because of the cool stream, they will wake up immediately and reduce accidents.

Overestimate yourself.

Do you still remember that many years ago, in the late summer, some hikers had to practice mountaineering in the scorching sun, and as a result, one of them suffered from heatstroke and unfortunately died without help.

You can learn a lesson from this accident. If physical exercise depends on everyone's physical fitness, don't force your body to do some excessive exercise. Physical training needs to be gradual, and it takes time to reach the peak. Although the injured in the accident are very pitiful, please also think about the savior.
