Time flies fast, and in the blink of an eye, Lhasa ushered in another winter. Winter here is always unexpected, because the sunshine here is as warm as spring. Many people will take advantage of the blue sky and white clouds on a certain day to walk with friends, climb high and look into the distance and bathe in the winter sunshine.

Winter mountaineering is full of fun and meaning, you can appreciate the vicissitudes of life different from spring and summer, and experience the unique charm of the plateau, but there are more dangers in winter mountaineering. Friends who like mountaineering, especially on the plateau, must pay attention:

On the plateau, the oxygen content is low and the physical strength is rapidly exhausted, so it is not suitable to do strenuous and long-term exercise. Choose a suitable mountaineering object based on your own physical strength.

Climbing is risky, go with friends and inform your family before you go, do not go alone to minimize the danger.

Before climbing, be sure to do the preparatory work, learn more about the objects you conquered, plan the climbing route; prepare water, dry food and abrasion medicine. On the plateau, it is necessary to add more water and physical strength. At the same time, the weather on the plateau is fickle, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, so bring thick clothes to prevent the weather from changing.

Before climbing, be sure to do warm-up exercises, relax your muscles, and adjust your mentality. In the process of climbing, you should concentrate, don’t be distracted or get carried away by chatting with people, and always stay awake. At the same time, the climbing speed should not be too fast, pay attention to regulating breathing, take proper rest, and always pay attention to whether you are hypoxic and have altitude sickness.

There are also many travelers who like to take pictures when they encounter beautiful scenery during the climbing process or when they reach the top of the mountain. But when shooting, choose a safe place and keep safety in mind at all times.

As the saying goes, it is easy to go up the mountain but difficult to go down. Many people go down the mountain too fast and their muscles are tense, which is easy to damage the muscles.
