Today, let the editor analyze for you "How to choose equipment for snow mountain climbing and precautions for snow mountain climbing". Friends who are interested should take a look together! Snow mountain climbing equipment. If you want to do your job well, you must first sharpen your tools. For snow mountain climbing, equipment is the foundation. Generally speaking, equipment is determined based on altitude and environment. If you want to purchase a set of personal technical snow mountain equipment, what should you purchase? What brand?

Snow mountain equipment brands
Personally, I think it is best for us to choose big brands to obtain CE or UIAA certification when purchasing equipment. Note: 1. CE is only a standard. Some products do not need to be tested by a testing agency. They can be marked with CE through self-declaration. 2. Obtaining UIAA certification is much more difficult than obtaining CE certification. It is physical testing, it has targeted standards, and its standards are stricter, so it is safer to buy UIAA certified products, while CE is just a standard. 2
Snow mountain climbing equipment
1. Technical equipment: mountaineering helmet, alpine boots, crampons, mountaineering safety belt, big pick (small pick), daisy rope (120cm), flat Belts (one each of 60 and 120), knots (one each of 60 and 120), main locks (5), quick hooks (2), ascender, descender (eight figures or ATC) 1. Non-technical equipment : Snow goggles (backup), fleece hat (backup), waterproof gloves (backup), headlamp (backup), sunscreen, mountain stove (preferably reactor), tent, moisture-proof mat, sleeping bag, hiking poles 3
Precautions for snow mountain climbing equipment
1. Backup - it means you need to prepare two copies 2. Alpine boots - buy 1-1.5 sizes larger than what you usually wear, because you have to wear thick and long socks There is no need to compress your feet too tightly during reassembly to avoid affecting blood circulation. 3. Safety belt - pay attention to your waistline and be careful if you buy one that is too big or too small. 4. Daisy rope - you can use an oxtail instead, but it is recommended to use a daisy rope when climbing. 5. Grab knot - tie a Pisces knot for the 5-7mm auxiliary rope. 6. Main lock - Make sure you have a pear lock. You can classify the lock on Baidu (an automatic lock is best). The main lock is divided into 2 daisy chains, 1 descender, 1 ascender + a loose lock, and 1 spare. Loose locks can be replaced with quick padlocks. 7. Snow goggles - please do not wear ski goggles because they are convex. It is recommended to buy snow goggles similar to cycling glasses (100% UV protection) 8. Headlamp - it is recommended to buy lightweight, low temperature resistant headlamps: abroad You can choose from black bricks, climbing ropes, and domestic Sanlis and Felix. 9. Tent - The tent is mainly used to prevent wind and snow. Please try to buy a lighter tent with lower requirements for warmth. Because you have to rely on a sleeping bag to keep warm. 10. Sleeping bag - it is recommended to choose goose down. 11. Moisture-proof pad - please do not bring an inflatable pad. It is recommended to buy a silver rubber strap with anti-heat function. 12. Trekking pole - a must-bring, because most of our mountain climbing is on foot. 13. Snow is not listed here. The reason for the snow jacket is because the alpine boots and jacket pants worn during mountain climbing have replaced the function of the snow jacket. 4
Precautions for climbing snow-capped mountains 1. Climbing snow-capped mountains is still risky, so you should be fully prepared and act according to your ability. 2. Be especially cautious when climbing glaciers and snow slopes. There are many fissures on glaciers. The biggest threats to people are the icefall area and the fissures on the edge of the foothills. In particular, hidden fissures covered by snow are dangerous. 3. When passing through a crack, people should move in groups and connect each other with ropes. The distance between two adjacent people should be 10 to 12 meters. 4. Those who open the way in front should always detect the actual situation. People behind you must follow the footsteps of the people in front, it is safer this way. 5. When passing the ice bridge on the crack, crawl forward. 6. At the junction of ice and snow-covered slopes, the snow is often very deep and you must form a group when taking action. 7. When crossing a snow bridge, the trailblazer detects whether the snow bridge is empty or solid, and then passes through. If the snow is very soft and you must pass through it, you should crawl. 8. When climbing a steep snow slope, be sure to stand firmly on both feet before moving. 9. To step forward, step on the snow with the forefoot of both feet, step on it into a step and then move the back foot. 10. If you accidentally slip and fall, lie down immediately to prevent sliding. 11. When passing through avalanche-dangerous areas, be sure to loosen the straps in advance to prepare for the release of large backpacks and other equipment when necessary to ensure freedom of movement. Take off the snow hat that blocks your vision and hearing to detect avalanche signs as early as possible. 12. Avoid crossing dangerous snow slopes laterally. Avoid sound vibrations such as shooting. Avoid falling or other impact on the snow surface. 13. If you are caught in an avalanche, you should swim bravely and repeatedly in the moving snow flow, trying to float to the surface of the snow flow. Because it is difficult to move your hands and feet after the avalanche stops, you should try to stay out of the snow while the snow flow is moving. 14. When buried in the snow, let the saliva flow out of your mouth, look at the direction of the flow, and determine whether you are upside down, and then try to save yourself. 15. Generally speaking, the weather will be fine the next day after new snowfall, and avalanches will occur from 9 to 10 o'clock in the morning. 16. The snow-capped mountains are covered with snow all year round, so the snow is relatively thick. When you shout loudly, sound waves with relatively high energy will be generated. When the sound waves propagate in the snow-capped mountains, they will collide with the mountain wall, causing the snow blocks to slide. During the sliding process, it will cause an avalanche. So don't shout loudly! 17. There is no need to rush or go all out during the adaptation process. Take it easy and do not climb more than 300 to 500 meters vertically every day.
18. Headaches (which can be relieved by aspirin), irregular breathing at night, increased respiratory rate during the day, and increased urination are normal reactions. 19. Moderate mountain sickness: insomnia, reduced urination, and headaches that cannot be relieved even by taking aspirin. Stay at your current altitude for a while (1 to 2 days) until you feel better.
Don't keep climbing until you get back to normal!
