It is winter, two days ago Beijing also came a cold wave, a little less wear will be cold shiver. However, I have been concerned about ice climbing for some time, and when I had the opportunity to go to Beijing, I reported a group and experienced ice climbing.

📍 Address: Changping Huyu Natural Scenic Spot

【 My First experience 】

This is my first experience with ice climbing, so it's quite exciting to be able to climb the top twice in the experience class. However, the whole climbing process is not as easy as the one or two sentences I summarized, and it is not just an ordinary sport so simple, it requires physical strength, skill, courage and perseverance to support and complete.

By the time I was halfway up, my feet were shaking and my hands with the ice axe were tired. I turned to look down at the protection, Shouting: "hands have no strength, I can't, I want to come down."

The lower protection responds: "Almost to the top, two more steps... Hang the axe on the ice, release your hands, squeeze your hands... ." Under the temptation of "approaching the top", I relaxed my arms slightly according to the guidance, and then continued to climb, not climbing a step, and said once in my heart, "It's coming soon, and then one more step." ." Finally, the summit. For the first time experience for me, tired and happy.

It's over. It's not over. I shouted "down," but I was too nervous to relax and lay straight down at a 90-degree Angle to the icefall. Adjusted for a number of times, only to dare to defy gravity, 90 degrees on the ice fall to walk down.

After coming down, my teammates also asked me, "In the middle of the time, you said that it is really not good?"

I said, "Yes, because it's really tiring."

She continued, "But you went up in the end..."

And I said, "Yeah, I just went up."

After the second attempt, I took a long breath and went up, less nervous and afraid.

When climbing: Ice may break when you swing the pick into the ice. When swinging the pick, the head should be avoided to the opposite side/down at the same time to avoid breaking ice on the face, or eyes.

On the ground: Even if you are waiting on the ground, try to stay away from the ice wall. The consensus of the ice rink is: to alert the personnel below the ice fall during the climbing process, Shouting "ice fall!" Once before, just finished the first pick to climb, the ice above just hit my arm, Xi Ti big humerus two heads, swollen for several days can not lift up.

【 About schedule 】

After arriving at the destination at 9:30, the leader divided the equipment and took everyone to the icefall.

Around 10:00, the leader will teach ice climbing under the icefall, including: the wearing and use of alpine boots and crampons, the essentials of ice climbing movements, ice climbing safety instructions, etc.

Then it's rotating ice climbing time until 4 or 5 p.m.

(ps: Because of my physical strength, I only climbed the top twice, and then no more 🧊)
