There are many equipment for climbing and landing on ice and snow terrain, including personal technical equipment, cold protection equipment, and collective equipment.
1. Personal technical equipment:
Safety belt
s, ascenders, descenders, iron locks, ropes, ice axes, rock hammers, small ice axes, Alpine boots, crampons, poles, helmets, snowboards, alpine glasses, backpacks, etc.
Safety belts: safety belts for mountaineering, now less use of chest ropes and flat belts; >Ice Axe: It is an important fulcrum in ice and snow terrain, equivalent to the third foot;
Ice Hammer: It is a tool for fixing ice picks and snow picks, and it is also used as a small ice pick;
Small ice axe: A tool used when covering the ice wall with a solid cover?/FONT> Waterproof, windproof and easy to strap crampons.
Crampons: anti-skid devices strapped to alpine boots through hard ice and snow terrain. The bottom and front are composed of protruding tines, which can be fastened to get off work on the ice and play a non-slip effect.
Snow cover: similar to the function of leggings, the purpose is to prevent wind and snow from pouring into the alpine boots;
Snow pole: replace the ice axe in slower terrain, and also detect cracks
Helmets: prevent snow and ice from falling and cause accidents;
Snowboards: when the snow is particularly thick, it can prevent deep sinking;
p>
Alpine glasses: prevent strong ultraviolet radiation in ice and snow areas and prevent snow blindness;
Backpack: It is best to use a mountaineering backpack with a metal frame, and a backpack without a metal frame is more suitable for ice climbing ;
Also should bring sunscreen, lip balm, lighter, knife, thermal water bottle and other supplies in alpine areas.
Second, cold protection equipment
refers to the clothing, sleeping equipment, etc. to prevent frostbite, including down jackets, windproof jackets, sweaters, gloves, socks , sleeping bags, sleeping pads, cold hats, etc.
Down clothing: the most effective cold-proof clothing for mountaineering and ice-climbing in alpine and alpine regions;
Wind-proof clothing: used to resist the attack of wind and snow in windy and snowy weather;
p>
Sweater pants: practical cold-proof clothing when a down jacket is sometimes not needed during travel;
Gloves: down gloves, wool gloves, thread gloves and windproof gloves should be prepared when working in ice and snow;
p>
Socks: Down socks, wool socks, and stockings are also essential cold-proof items. Hands and feet are the most prone to frostbite in alpine regions, so gloves and socks must be carried as spares;
Sleeping bag: Sleeping bags made of high-quality down have better thermal performance, generally 1.5-2 kg of down filling;
Sleeping pads: moisture-proof sleeping pads or inflatable sleeping pads;
p>
Cold hat: It is used to keep the head warm, but the long brim is not suitable.
III. Group equipment
Including ropes, rope sets, ice picks, snow picks, tents, cooking utensils, stoves, etc.
Rope: Main rope 9-11mm, 6-8mm auxiliary rope;
Iron lock, rope cover: iron lock, rope cover, flat belt loop are used as protection points;
Ice pick: used as a fixed point on ice, now generally using alloy spiral sleeve type;
Snow pick: a device for fixing protection points on snow, according to the depth of snow Use snow cones of different lengths and shapes according to the hardness and hardness;
Tent: Mountaineering uses alpine tents, which are characterized by wind, warmth and ventilation, and general tourist tents are not suitable for alpine areas;
Cooking utensils : Portable set of pots, sets of bowls, etc.;
Stove: Portable gasoline stove, gas stove.
