妈妈你是不是又要出发了?是的我的宝贝。这次你要去哪里?很远很远很远吗?羌塘草原,很远呢!妈妈,那是在哪里啊?咱们家的西北以北。会很苦很苦吗?会很艰苦的。那你不要去了好不好,我会心疼。不行呀,宝贝。这是个约定,不可以退缩的。妈妈,那你走不动的时候,就想着我爱你,想着我在家里等你回来,你就肯定有力气走得动了。。。。好的,我的宝贝,妈妈记住了 前言:这篇游记是我作为普通背包客同时又是一个孩子妈妈出行三十四天点滴的记录。不同以往的出行,这次孩子爱和鼓励一路支撑我走下来。不喜好者绕路即可。 我亲爱的孩子: 离开你的三十四天里,妈妈无时不刻惦记着千里之外的你。作为一个背包爱好者,注定一年中会有段时间不能陪在你身边,对此妈妈心里总怀着一份歉意和愧疚。你心里一定怪妈妈自私,说走就走,可是妈妈要对你说,人一生总要有自己的一份坚持,总要做一次自己想做的事情,走一次自己想走的路。相信等你长大,会理解这一切的。感谢你,小小男子汉,勇敢的面对妈妈不在家的日子,如你所说那样支持妈妈背包。为此,这篇游记献给你,我的天使。 首先妈妈要告诉你,我的孩子,要记住所无论什么事情,只有自己亲身经历才知道真正的事实,切不要以你自己的主观思想去妄下评论。无人区的穿越,不是有些人想象的那么拉风,刺激,玩酷,炫耀,也不是随意就可去,背着包就能走的,不过也不要想的遥不可及,不可逾越。故事很长,我慢慢的讲,你慢慢的听。。。。。。。 我的孩子,羌塘草原在藏北高原,在昆仑山脉、唐古拉山脉和冈底斯山脉之间。这里寒冷无比,真正的滴水成冰,地形地貌多变,有草原、高山草甸、戈壁、湖泊、山川,这十八天,妈妈亲眼见到大自然种种奇妙的融合。这些之前只有在电视或者书里面才有所了解。这里还有许多的野生动物,牦牛,藏羚羊,野驴,鹰,熊,还有一种妈妈不知道名字的鼠类动物。这是个与你生活的环境截然不同的世界。 2012年3月30日:我的孩子:出发了,在送你上学后,回家最后整理行囊直奔南京禄口机场。天一直下着雨,你说妈妈每次出门天气总是不好,你也总是会生病。妈妈真想告诉你,心里多么在乎你,爱着你。因为乌鲁木齐大风,虽然下午两点就到机场了但飞机延误至晚上九点钟才能起飞。还好有朋友把妈妈接到夫子庙喝茶,休息,否则干坐机场候机是件非常磨人的事情。回想一下,出发前,天气一直不好,跑步断断续续,体力没有很好的得到提升,对能不能全程徒步真是心里没底。妈妈会尽量努力的,很多事情,你不去努力怎么知道行不行呢?这是妈妈一直和你说的,妈妈自己也一定要做到。飞机在银川经停,到达银川之前,遭遇气流,飞机颠簸异常厉害,忽上忽下的起伏,我的一颗心却无比安宁。机窗外一玄弯月明亮无比,机窗下是灯火通亮。终于在凌晨两点半,平安降落乌鲁木齐,我的孩子,你肯定在熟睡中呢。 2012年3月31日: 我的孩子:一夜没睡安稳,七点多就醒来了,这是你上学的时间呢,可乌鲁木齐还没天亮。你会诧异了吧?新疆和咱们家存在两个小时时差,直到十点钟街上才慢慢有人出现。和红袖阿姨汇合后,红袖阿姨带着我溜达在乌鲁木齐的小巷里,吃烤肉,新疆凉皮,然后再到干果市场一通大肆采购。干果店里品种非常多,葡萄干,杏干,无花果干,还有大枣,巴旦木,东尝尝西尝尝,都不知道买些啥了。最后乱七八糟瞎买一通, 立刻快递回家,你会奇怪妈妈还没回家怎么包裹先到了。 因为飞库尔勒的航班是半夜的,所以应我强烈要求去逛了下大巴扎。“巴扎”,是维吾尔语,意思就是集市、农贸市场。走到这里,异域风情扑面而来,满街都是维吾尔族人。很多的工艺品琳琅满目。 大风的缘故,去库尔勒的航班很多都取消了,但妈妈和下午抵达乌鲁木齐的队友还是去机场想碰碰运气,还真是运气不错,和大部分队友会合后,在最后时间得到准时起飞的通知。这样凌晨一点钟到达库尔勒。在乌鲁木齐的大巴扎你能看见你熟悉的家乐福,喜欢的肯德基。 乌鲁木齐南北分界线很明显,南边维族聚集地,北边汉族聚集地。一到大巴扎附近,异域风情越发浓烈。不过我没有将镜头对准街上来来往往的人群,似乎真没有这个习惯拿着相机扫街,也并不以此为趣。这个坚持一直到拉萨也是如此,面对大昭寺虔诚的朝见磕头藏民,我不忍心让他们成为镜头里的道具。 仅此一张很远的,维族妇女和孩子的照片,让我想起牵着你的小手散步的场景。 2012年4月1日---4月2日 我的孩子:妈妈夜里总是睡不踏实,咳嗽的厉害。时差的缘故,在这里天天十点钟吃早饭,两点吃中饭,晚上九点吃晚饭。过着不可想象的日子,晚上九点多还天光大亮!吃完早饭,领队挨个的检查个人装备准备情况,没想到妈妈这个菜鸟居然收拾的还能评个七八十分,偷笑中。想想自己之前就是个什么都不懂的傻子一般,所以,我的孩子,任何事情不怕你不会,只怕你不肯去用心学习和做。 有个插曲,因为车队的队长带队还没有回来,出发时间不确定,我们只能原地待命。 晚上十一点半,最后一个队友,湖北的鱼姐姗姗来迟,这样穿越的十名队员全部到齐。大家互相招呼着,闲聊着。领队说,出发日期估计会拖到五号,这要到哪里去溜达一圈才好呢,可不能浪费宝贵的假期。 队伍有队伍的纪律,领队开了个会议,宣布一些徒步注意事项,路线安排以及物资购买的确定和分工。 学习是无止尽的,妈妈出发前GPS摸都没摸过一下,利用集体学习和实践的时机,赶紧的恶补。这是在无人区最重要的安全保障,没有这个在无人区非常容易走失,领队再三强调必须人手一台。每个人都认真的学习着,出行安全永远放在第一位!这是对自己也是最家人负责。嘻嘻,宝贝,你在照片中找的到哪个是妈妈吗? 新疆除了瓜果有名气,最不能错过的就是烤肉。才到库尔勒队友就强烈建议去吃囊坑烤肉,我很好奇,为啥叫囊坑烤肉?羊肉串咱这也有卖啊?有啥特殊的?到了地方一看,才知道真真的大不一样呢。烤肉是论斤称的卖,透着西北人的豪气,烤肉是放进一个大坑里烤制的,一架架排满。香气扑鼻,诱人垂涎三尺。宝贝,你最爱吃肉,不过你不爱吃羊肉,哈哈,所以假如你在的话,我一点不担心和你抢的打起来。你看见没有,肉就挂在架子上,要肥要瘦随意挑选,一坐下就有人上前招呼,你只管报要吃的部位和数量就好。 跑进厨房,追根究底的找囊坑,哈,果真两个大坑冒着香气,肉就是在那烤制的 呆了一会,烤的自己脸通红,赶紧的回座位,吃是正理,至于拍照嘛。。。。。。满手是油实在不方便。。。回复 ~懒猫~ 的帖子哎,咱菜园子里这会种了颗果树,嘻嘻嘻回复 小小闵 的帖子得了,你一贯作风,完篇时我通知你哈 2012年4月3日我的孩子:这次活动,妈妈负责的是全队的急救常识普及和药品购买。于是早饭后和队友一起按照事先开好的清单将公用药品购买齐全。这么长时间在野外徒步,特别是高海拔的无人区,药品的准备必须考虑齐全。除了常用药以外,还准备了救心丸,地塞米松,利尿片等特殊用药,以应付高反引起的急性肺水肿,脑水肿。一旦有人出现这些症状,药品就是救命的根本。你一直好奇妈妈急救包里有些什么,现在告诉你那里面装着足够动一个小型手术的所有必备物品:手术刀,剪刀,橡胶手套,止血带,针,线,绷带,纱布以及系列外用药,药品就不用说了,还有一块救生毯。这个小小的急救包能保证在野外遇到突发意外受伤或者疾病时,生命受到一定保障 领队看着无精打采的大伙,决定找个地方拉练下,别荒废了憋足的劲。于是GPS采集了一个数据点,根据导航向郊外走去。歪打正着的就到了一个叫库鲁伦格的峡谷里,据偶遇的当地驴友说,这还是天山的一个小小支脉。峡谷初现荒凉的西部景色,只有石块和黄土,连头顶的天都是灰色的。顺着山谷往里走,没有变化的单一,脚下一会是松软的沙石,一会是大石块。我不禁感慨,要是到无人区也是这么个样子,那走起来多没劲,直到下午六点走多出峡谷,热水澡成为每个人向往无比的奖励。 对了,还没给你介绍馕。妈妈给它起了个昵称:新疆面包。说实话,十年不吃我也不会想念它的味道,但作为食品补给,在无人区后半段时间它和玉米糊糊充当了主角。在家里,你吃饭总是挑肥拣瘦,在极限环境下可容不得你做出选择,吃饱是第一。 2012年4月5日:我的孩子:很多时候大人和孩子一样是好玩的,虽然我们嘴上都不承认。当然宝贵的假期耽搁在城市里也着实可惜,百度到库尔勒郊区有个美丽的博斯腾湖,于是大伙的心蠢蠢欲动,和领队死皮赖脸的请假获得一次短途春游机会。线路:莲花湖-----博斯腾湖-----铁门关 莲花湖:博斯腾湖西部一系列相互串通的小湖沼之一,因盛产莲花而得名,是孔雀河的水头,距库尔勒市25公里。湖周芦苇茂密而挺拔,湖水靛青黛蓝,湖心水域开阔,水深1.5--1.7米,明澈见底。夏秋之季,野鸭、大雁、鹭鸶成对成群,翠苇盈荡,水巷曲折,鱼跃鸟翔,荷花绽放。不过我们到的太早,没有一个游客,只有几个维修游艇的工人在劳作着。芦苇未青,白杨未绿,只花几分钟稍作逗留便离开。 清冷的莲花湖 奔向你,奔向自由的飞翔 博斯腾湖,又名巴喀刺赤海,蒙语称博斯腾尔,维吾尔语称巴格拉什库勒,古称西海。是新疆最大的淡水湖泊,位于焉耆盆地的一个山间陷落湖,又称巴喀赤湖。汇入湖泊的河流主要来自西北的开都河、乌拉斯台河、黄水沟、清水河等等。你会很好奇,这里的湖和咱家那的太湖有啥区别?妈妈要和你说,博湖更平静,宽广和安宁。第一次看见这许多水鸟栖息于湖面,在水天一色间自在的飞起飞落,吟唱着它们的歌谣。湖水无声而温柔的拍打沙滩,要是你在,我会坐在你身边安静的看你尽情的用沙子堆砌你心目中的城堡。你也会惊讶于湖边广阔的芦苇和放牧的群马,那与江南湿地的秀丽,小巧是多么不同。一直以来,妈妈总希望你能多接触大自然,不要一直圈在电视,游戏之间,要将目光投向钢筋水泥以外的世界。我的孩子,伸开你的双手,和妈妈一样去拥抱大自然的那份开阔吧! 博斯腾湖那些自由自在的鸟儿们,看着它们,你会觉得自己的心在飞翔 什么是比翼双飞? 我的孩子,太多东西对于你都是新奇的,比如这些放牧的马。回复 梦驴 的帖子矮油,照片呢就是共享的撒,平衡一下你心里,偶注明版权归属好伐 湖水湛蓝,没有堤坝的拦截,你完全可以走近它,感受它的宁静 前往博斯腾湖的路上,我第一次真正感受到大西北的荒芜。绿色似乎被隐藏起来,只有单调的黄褐色一直延伸。戈壁和沙丘覆盖视野所及范围内。气温虽然不低,但春色止步不前。没有树木,连草都没有,只有荆棘一簇簇不屈的生长着。此时我没有意识到,这景致将一路陪伴,直至进入无人区,下一次看见绿色已经在拉萨近郊。 最后一站铁门关:位于库尔勒市北八公里怪石峥嵘的库鲁克塔格山中。两千多年前的丝绸之路,就从这里沿孔雀河进入一条30公里长的峡谷。峡谷曲折幽深,岸壁如刀劈斧凿。据考,从晋代起,这里就设立了关口,因其地处险要,故名铁门关。它是焉耆盆地进入塔里木盆地的一道天险,自古为兵家必争之地。如今的铁关峡谷,峡谷中依山傍水之处,林木葱郁、百花斗艳,亭台楼阁错落有致、点缀其中。这是景点,大门拦起,需要买门票。时间缘故,就在门外看了看。河两边垂柳依依,绿意葱葱,一瞬间有回到江南的错觉。回复 木名字 的帖子呵呵,时间跨度比较大,的确快不了。谢谢你回复 燕小培 的帖子五男五女,嘻嘻,后面会有大合影的回复 幽谷百合-十 的帖子呵呵,个人口味吧?面食我喜爱,不过对馕真的爱不起来。但是有种窝窝馕口味好些([]

十一假期也结束了,从法国回来也办个多月了,还是没办法把这次旅行用文字记录下来,可能是本人比较懒惰吧,在此先立个帖子,没准儿是个大坑!还很有可能太监了,哈哈,大家不要骂人,首先还是要感谢一下这次的主办方Lafuma中国的大力赞助,还有这次为我们投票的8264论坛的兄弟姐妹们,是你们的支持让我们得以实现这个户外梦想——法国勃朗峰攀登之旅!!!先发两张照片本次活动全体队员的全家福第一座训练山——TETE BLANCHE ,海拔3429本次活动行程安排:9月13日:北京——阿布扎比——日内瓦——霞穆尼(BUS)9月14日:适应训练:到高山木屋(海拔)9月15日:适应训练:装备使用、冰川行走、攀登TETE BLANCHE(3429M)瑞士境内9月16日:适应训练:9月17日:返回霞慕尼休整(购物)9月18日:继续休整等待天气9月19日:攀登勃朗峰:乘坐小火车到达海拔2372米小火车站,攀登至古顿木屋(3817M)9月20日:古顿木屋(3817M)——勃朗峰登顶(4810M)——小火车站(2372M)——霞慕尼9月21日:退税\返程一、一路辗转、初到霞穆尼本次我们所乘坐的飞机为阿联酋阿提扎德航空公司的航班,经阿联酋第一大酋长国首府也是阿联酋首都阿布扎比转机前往日内瓦。说到阿联酋大家可能一下子就会想到的是迪拜,帆船酒店、迪拜塔、豪车、海岸等等;其实,阿联酋的全称是阿拉伯联合酋长国,简称阿联酋,阿布扎比酋长国是阿联酋第一大酋长国,阿布扎比是阿联酋的首都,同时也是阿布扎比酋长国的首府。阿布扎比的机场设施很完善,有很多国际大牌的奢侈品店,有免费的wifi网络,就是网速不快,还不太容易链接。我们在阿布扎比机场停留大概两小时,登上飞机继续前进,两段飞机上的餐点都还比较丰富,在飞往日内瓦的途中,机上的服务人员知道我们俩是来度蜜月的,还特意为我们制作了蜜月甜点和法国香槟。经过十几个小时的飞行,我们于当地时间14:35分到达瑞士日内瓦国际机场,取行李时出现了一个小插曲,大家的行李都取完了,只有摄影之友杂志“梓朕”的行李箱没有出现,后来到海关查询才知道行李被开箱检查了,因为他的装备实是太高端大气上档次了吧,有间谍或者特工的嫌疑,后面我会慢慢向大家介绍梓朕哥的秘密武器,一个乐观向上的画家、摄影师、媒体人,一路上给我们带来了很多欢笑。到机场迎接我们的是法国Lafuma和Petzl(攀索)的技术顾问;约运动员:Aymeric,一个从10岁就开始登山的牛人,也是我们本次“Lafuma叶伴我行勃朗峰”的总教练。从机场乘坐ALPYBUS旅游公司的BUS前往法国霞穆尼小镇,BUS司机是位漂亮的法国女士,路况很好,100公里的路程只需短短的一个小时时间。封闭式的高速公路修建在宽敞的山谷之中,蓝天白云、绿草如茵,半山腰散落着各式各样的砖木结构的房子,靠近公路旁的房子基本都有一大片田地,像一个个小小的农场一样,时不时头上还能看到几个滑翔伞从两旁的山上飞下来。转过一个比较大的弯,洁白的阿尔卑斯山出现在我们眼前,一路看着阿尔卑斯山的美景,不知不觉中就来到了著名的旅游度假圣地——Chamonix(霞慕尼)。入住HOTEL Alpina(阿尔卑斯酒店),HOTEL ALPINA是一家有着悠久历史的三星级涉外旅游酒店,酒店大部分房间都能看到勃朗峰和南针峰,东南向的房间都有一个露天的小阳台,房间整洁,略显陈旧,全部都是实木家具和门窗。晚餐前还有点时间,大家相约到小镇上逛一逛,顺便找一家正宗的餐厅品尝一下法式大餐。Chamonix霞慕尼小镇因坐落于欧洲屋脊阿尔卑斯山最高峰——勃朗峰(4810M)脚下而享誉世界。1924年,第一届冬季奥林匹克运动会在这里举行,1786年,霞慕尼医生Paccard (帕卡德)及其脚夫Balmat (巴尔马特)首次登顶勃朗峰。从此后这里逐渐成为欧洲人最喜爱的登山滑雪圣地,这里有欧洲最高的缆车可直达勃朗峰观景台——南针峰。小镇上的观光车这个季节的游客不多,小镇两旁商店鳞次栉比,街道整洁干净,各种登山、滑雪、户外商店随处可见,这里汇聚了世界上个大顶尖户外品牌的专卖店,我戏称这里的户外店是只有你不知道,没有你看不到的!作为一群户外爱好者,我们的首选当然是个大户外品牌店了,这里的户外装备价格并不算便宜,不过还是要比国内低15%——30%左右的。 悠悠荡荡、走走停停,不知不觉天已经暗了下来,这里的商店大部分都是19:00停业,我们找到一家看上去不错的法式餐厅,这里的牛扒和海鲜都很不错,就是配菜的薯条有点粗大,有懂行的队友说这就是正宗的法式薯条 ,我怎么看怎么像油炸土豆块儿。这里和国内有6个小时的时差,晚餐后我们回到宾馆早早休息,明天就要进行高海拔适应性训练了。 二、整装待发、阿尔卑斯初体验HOTEL ALPINA 的早餐从7:00开始供应,今天我们要进行首日的适应性训练,大家都早早来到位于7楼的餐厅,一个霞穆尼小镇和阿尔卑斯山景观餐厅。天还有些暗,由于霞穆尼小镇地处山谷之中,太阳的朝晖已经开始一点点洒落在勃朗峰上,为洁白的雪山镀上一抹金黄,我们在靠窗的为止边吃边欣赏景色,大家不禁感慨,人生如此,夫复何求啊。这里的早餐种类不多,不过还算丰盛,而且味道都还不错,特别是新烘烤出来的各种面包,各式各样的果酱和火腿片,早餐的鸡蛋需要自己煮。我们把不需要带的装备寄存到酒店,这次活动的总教练Aymeric带着另外两个教练来了,一个是意大利籍的Hugues,我们都戏称他“渔歌”,Hugues同时也是一位资深的滑翔伞教练;瑞士籍的Elodie(艾乐迪),是瑞士一所大学的历史老师,Elodie是阿尔卑斯山为数不多的女高山向导之一。这边的商店大多在9:00到930开门,我们在Aymeric的带领下一起去镇上一家综合户外用品商店购买和租赁雪山攀登的装备,这个店我们昨天下午来过,营业面积两三千米,三层,基本所有的户外装备都可以在这里买到,这边租赁高山靴和冰爪的价格是一周125欧元,价格有点小贵。资深户外摄影师“凯伊”在凯伊哥的建议下我选购了一双La portiva Batura2.0 GTX高山靴和一GRYAEL G14全齿冰爪;媳妇儿选了一双La portiva EVO和一副Simond的行走爪。SIMOND的冰爪就是霞穆尼生产的,有一百多年的历史了,Aymeric很高兴的给我们介绍。这里登山靴的价格大概是国内的价的一半,Aymeric找到经理很给面子的给我们打了个九五折。这里的户外店店员专业知识都非常好,不单单是为了销售产品,还逐步给我们介绍这些装备的使用方法、注意事项和保养的知识,而且给我们介绍的店员还伸出大拇指说你们选的都是非常好的,非常专业的。Aymeric 交款退税,这里要说一下关于到霞穆尼的刷卡消费和退税,网上说的银联大部分商店都可以用是不靠谱的,在霞穆尼就没找到有能刷银联卡的地方,幸亏来之前换了足够的欧元和一张备用的万事达卡,不然可真就成了入宝山空手而归了,所以大家如果出行最好还是带着VISA或者万事达才靠谱。选择可以直接人民币还款的比较省事儿,直接按照当天的汇率结算,省去购汇还款的麻烦。摄影之友新媒体运营总监“梓朕”(左)和“皮带断了古进”关于退税,这边的规定是当日单笔消费超过175.01欧元就可以申请退税,店里的工作人员会为你填好退税单,只需出示护照就OK了,欧洲的退税办理分为两个不同的退税公司GLOBE BLUE PREMIETTAX GREE(环球蓝联)和EUTOTEFUND GTOUP(这个不知道怎么翻译,应该是个什么贸易组织之类的)。我个人觉得环球蓝联的比较方便,直接到海关出境处就可以退现金;EUTOTEFUND GTOUP的退税是需要退到信用卡里的,我们基本上回到国内不到半个月就都收到了退税,效率还是比较高的,虽然后来出境退税时出现了一个有意思的小插曲儿,这个留到后面再说。Aymeric(左)Hugues(右)今天是周六,在我们酒店门前的广场上有一个临时的集贸市场,基本上都是当地农场自产的农副产品,看了一下价格还是挺实惠的,不过我们就要去进行适应训练了,无暇光顾,只能匆匆而过,我们一行12个人加3个教练正好三辆车,三个教练又兼任了司机的工作,这边的汽车以两厢车和三厢旅行款为主,吉普车不多,三厢的轿车基本上看不到,车型不算新,但车况都不错,有不少经典的老款车型。驱车二十分钟左右,一路盘旋上升,我们来到缆车站停车场,在这里Aymeric给我们分配了这两天训练的路餐,已经快十二点了,今天我们要到达Refuge木屋,在停车场简单吃了点路餐,合影购票,缆车上的风景很漂亮,天气也很不错,这边有很多老外在玩儿山地车速降,感觉非常刺激,有一个专业的赛道,竟然还有妈妈带着十一二岁的小朋友玩儿这个,在国内可能有点不敢想象的。我们要乘坐两段缆车,缆车票是单次往返的,有效期一直到11月底,到达山脊上的缆车站,接下来我们要徒步上升大概五六百米去到Refuge木屋,距离大概七八公里的样子,前半部分路段都比较好走,最后一段碎石陡坡路段需要手脚并用了,第一天训练,大家的热情还是比较高的,一路上遇到很多从山上下来的登山爱好者,老人小孩儿都有,他们都会礼貌的和我们打招呼,我学会的第一个法语单词就是Bonjour(你好)。但是为了向欧洲人民普及中文,我都提前大声跟他们说你好,有部分人也会学着我的发音和我打招呼。整装待发下午四点,我们陆续到达Refuge木屋,阿尔卑斯山的登山环境很好,高山木屋的设施很齐备,有专门的鞋柜和存放柜,首先要脱下你的登山装备换上拖鞋,有专门放登山装备的塑料箱子和晾衣服的挂钩,一般不把除了随身的贵重物品之外的东西带到餐厅或宿舍。这里的物资全部是用直升飞机运送,阿尔卑斯山的高山木屋有着悠久的历史,对阿尔卑斯山的户外登山运动发展有着卓越的贡献,近似于公益性质,木屋里商品的价格也不是太贵,大部分可以通过网络和电话预定,高山木屋从9月底到第二年的4月大部分是关闭的。Refuge木屋正在进行改建,资金来自各行各业的捐赠,里面的工作人员有一部分是志愿者,我们将是今年最后一批使用Refuge木屋的登山者。小木屋的志愿者吃过晚饭我们早早回到宿舍开会,宿舍是两排二层铺位,能住24个人,因为现在登山的人不多,只有我们一队住在这个房间。在宿舍做了一个简短的总结,Aymetic问了一下大家对今天徒步的感受,是否有不适之类,并且告知我们未来几天的天气有可能会变的很糟,但大家的精神面貌都不错,可以说是信心满满,最后我们15个人分成三组:罗静、杨波、贺源、古进由Aymetic带队为第一组;凯伊、王冠、我和婷婷由Hugues带队为第二组;梓朕、花而、Angela、无痕由因Elodie带队为第三组。明天不用起的太早,大伙还躺在床上侃了会儿大山,房间有点小冷,不过休息的还都不错。 三、大雾来袭、全员登顶白头峰早上七点队友们陆续起床,感觉有点凉,室外被浓雾笼罩,变天了,能见度很低,餐厅提供的早餐还可以,有热牛奶、咖啡、红茶,配上面包果酱,昨天体力消耗不大,早上实在没什么胃口,简单吃了两片面包,这里的小木屋热水是收费的,2欧元1L。待大伙收拾好已经快九点了,山上的大雾没有消散的迹象,Aymetic告诉我们未来几天的天气可能都很糟糕。我们九点整准时出发,小木屋的旁边就是冰川,但我们要先经过一段碎石路段上到冰川上,距离大概五六百米。世界杂志“贺源”我的东北老乡我们到达冰川后开始结组,穿好冰爪,海拔较低的这一段冰川相对陡峭,这里的能见度只有100多米,不时出现一些冰裂缝,不过都不是很宽,一步就能跨过去,过了这段低海拔的冰川是就是雪坡了,坡度不大,行进的速度适中,几个教练都非常的专业,按照一定的频率和节奏缓步攀升,大概继续行进一小时左右到达一处有裸露岩石的避风地,我们在这里稍事休整,简单的补充一下高热食品和热水,继续前进。后面的路程大部分都是雪坡的行走,其中有一处较大的裂缝有一点点危险,山上的雾时聚时散,已经有早出发的登山者开始下山了,我们大概总共用了五六个小时登顶TETE BLANCHE(白头峰),海拔3429M,海拔上升将近700M,最后一段有三十米左右雪岩混合攀登。前两组基本上同时登顶,我们在背风处解决午餐的时候,第三组也顺利的登顶了,云雾渐渐减弱,山顶处的风比较大,我们随即下撤,下午三点多回到Refuge木屋,简单的收拾后都来到餐厅喝茶聊天。“梓朕”说他最后是用腰带动腿走下来的,惟妙惟肖的边说边跟我们演示,一度成为我们这次旅程的笑谈。而“花而”更是大声感叹:“Lafuma带我们玩儿真的”。 晚餐后照例还是一个小小的总结会:今天婷婷在冰岩混合攀登的路段脚崴了一下,决定放弃第二天的训练;梓朕、Agela和无痕身体不适也放弃了第二天的训练;Aymetic根据今天大家的表现又重新给我们从新进行了编组。Aymetic和Hugues带两组人继续按照计划攀登第二座适应训练山峰,剩下的由Elodie带领进行简单一点的适应性训练。明天很早就要起来,今天大家的体力消耗也比较大,都早早的休息了,据“凯伊”说我刚刚躺下说了一句话就睡过去了,看来还真是不轻松。四、风雪交加、雨雾相伴中完成测试训练三点半准时起床,“凯伊”有点感冒,今天参加训练的队友又少了一个,餐厅已经准备好早餐,已经有人一早出发了。我们吃过早餐,Aymetic和Hugues带领我们五名队员一早出发,Aymetic带杨波、罗静和皮带断了;Hugues带着我和王冠,室外漆黑一片,空气湿度很大,头灯的光亮只能照到前面的队友。今天前段的路程和昨天一样,过碎石坡、冰川、雪坡,天色渐亮,云层很高,有点黑云压顶的感觉,今天训练的山峰是在瑞士境内的Aiguille du Tour,海拔3542M,比昨天的略高,路程相对较短,但难度有所提升,特别是后段的冰岩混合的攀升,基本上都是70°以上的混合岩壁。 经过两个多小时的跋涉到达岔路,昨天的雾比较大,只能看到一串延伸的胶印,今天一眼就能看到这个大雪坡的顶端,50°左右的雪坡,顶部是一段雪岩结合的垭口,我和王冠的教练Hugues告诉我们翻过这个垭口就是瑞士境内了,我们会在垭口处休息。前面隐约能看到三五个登山者,由于坡度较大,我们只能做Z字形爬升,最不喜欢走的就是雪坡了,特别是有雾的时候,四周没有参照物,感觉就像一直在原地转悠,非常折磨人。这种雪坡对体力的消耗非常大,一脚下去雪已经快到膝盖了,高山靴上粘的雪让脚步愈加沉重,上面不时有雪滚下来,经过将近一个小时的努力,终于翻过了折磨人的大雪坡,上面一段几十米的冰岩混合有点小难度,王冠以前从没爬过这样的山,速度不快,对于不是经常户外的她来说非常不容易,但是她的意志力和耐力都很棒,很有登山的潜质。垭口上的云雾时聚时散,Aymetic告诉我们雨夹雪马上就要来了,不知道他是看了天气预报还是经验之谈,我们抓紧赶路,接下来是一段较缓的雪坡,山上的风越来越大,云雾被风吹散,已经能看到我们今天要登顶的Aiguille du Tour了,远远就能看到在雪岩混合附近的一条大冰裂缝。 走到跟前,冰裂缝最宽处大概七八米,窄的地方也有两三米,有一座一尺多宽的雪桥,这个雪桥还是有点危险的,我们都安全的通过了,虽然姿势各式各样,接下来到顶峰的是雪岩混合攀登,用了将近大半个小时左右,山顶的雾比较大,我和王冠在冰岩混合路段行进的比较慢,对于第一次接触冰岩混合攀登的王冠来说有点难,最后还是能够顺利登顶。在山顶拍照留念,山顶雾大风急,补充一点能量开始下撤,俗话说上山容易下山难,这段冰岩对我来说比较适合,因为平时都有经常攀岩,王冠开始有点害怕,克服了恐惧心理就好多了,我们顺利下撤到雪桥。速度虽然不快,但收获很大,特别是王冠童鞋。今天的训练没感觉特别累,我们下山的时候开始飘起了雪花,雪越下越大,在下山的路上遇到了进行简单体能训练的几位队友,等我们回到小木屋,这里的工人已经开始清理小木屋的物资了,所以今天中午只能吃自己携带的给养。一架小型直升机负责运送物资,有十几个工人在忙碌,我们整理好携带的物资和装备,开始在风雪中下撤,随着海拔逐渐下降,雪变成雨夹雪,由变成雨,浓雾依然和我们一路相伴,造的都挺狼狈的,我们乘坐缆车回到山下,在缆车站旁边的一个咖啡屋取暖,这个季节爬山的人不多,滑雪的季节也没到,咖啡屋里只有一个老人为我们服务,这里的红茶和咖啡都很不错。 率先登顶的第一组Aymetic和Hugues两个人一直在商量未来几天的天气,队友们各自对这两天的训练进行了总结,Aymetic告诉我们未来几天勃朗峰有暴风雪,可能会有时速达到50公里以上的大风,基本上登顶勃朗峰的计划难以完成了,而且根据这两天的训练来看,即使是非常好的天气,全队也不可能全部登顶勃朗峰,可能是我们开始就把勃朗峰想象的太简单了吧,因为大部分队员在国内都是攀登过海拔五六千米的雪山,相对海拔只有4810M的勃朗峰大家还是比较有信心的。而阿尔卑斯山的雪山相对攀登的海拔要比国内大部分雪山的高,对体力和毅力要求很大,而且其中有很多地方需要技术攀登才能通过,Aymetic和Hugues根据所有队员这三天的训练表现告诉我们,如果天气允许,只有杨波、罗静、皮带和我有可能登顶勃朗峰。哥!你干啥呢? Aymetic提议可以带我们到意大利境内去爬一座海拔4000+的山峰,是阿尔卑斯山的一座完全在意大利境内的最高峰——大帕拉迪索峰,大家最后经过讨论决定分成两组,由Hugues带四名可能登顶勃朗峰的队员在霞慕尼多休整一天等待天气好转,剩下的队员由Aymetic和Elodie带队去意大利攀登大帕拉迪索(4061M)。下午回到酒店,美美的洗了一个热水澡,因为外边正下着雨,也没有出门逛街的欲望了,晚餐在酒店旁边的一个意大利餐馆,Aymetic和Hugues联合推荐,酒店前台的服务员也向我们推荐,这里的意大利面很正宗,还有海鲜面也非常棒。今晚可以好好的睡个觉了,明天自然醒——扫街!!!五、小镇休整、感受欧洲休闲度假小镇的悠闲今天是我们这次法国之旅最惬意的一天了,虽然山顶云雾缭绕,但山谷中的霞慕尼小镇却阳光明媚、温暖宜人。吃过早餐,队员们三五成群的结伴闲逛,今天有充足的时间感受霞慕尼小镇。之前大家有商量过,如果天气好可以去乘坐观光直升机、飞滑翔伞或者乘坐缆车上到南针峰的,但山顶的能见度不是很理想,我们只能选择在小镇里溜达了。我们悠闲的走在霞慕尼的街道上,逛的最多的当属各大世界顶级品牌的户外店了,在国内驴友比较熟悉的ARC’ TERYX(始祖鸟)、THENORTH FACE(北面)、MARMOT(土拨鼠)、MOUNTAINHARDWARE(哈德威尔)、Columbia(哥伦比亚)、Haglofs(火柴棍)、MSR、PETZL(攀索)、BD(黑钻)、Salomon(萨洛蒙)、Suunto(松拓)、的Norrona(老人头)、patagonia(巴塔哥尼亚)、Mammut(猛犸象)、ASLEWA(沙乐华)、LEKI、La Sportiva、OR、OSPREY(奥斯普瑞)、Gregory(格里高利)等等,我能叫上名字的就有二三十个之多,这还不包括一些其他滑雪、骑行、滑翔伞等等户外运动品牌,还有一些根本在国内没见过的品牌,真的是比国内的户外展品牌还多。当然还有我们本次活动的主办方LAFUMA(乐飞叶)的专卖店。其他卖旅游纪念品的小店也特别多,怎么说呢,好些东西制造的不是特别精细,木制品、树脂的摆件和冰箱贴、明信片等等,价格从几欧到几十欧不等,还是要买一点小纪念品回去送朋友们的。原来法国著名的百年奢侈品牌“Mont Blanc”就是勃朗峰的意思,LOGO就是根据俯瞰勃朗峰设计的,在中国我们叫它“万宝龙”!真是读万卷书不如行万里路啊。奢侈品看看就好,对我们这些活跃在山海之间的驴子们来说还是搞点户外装备实在。([]

There are many like-minded asking me about it. I now present this thread to briefly tell everybody about my journey.The starting point of this traverse was from the highest peak of the western part of the Tibetan plateau, Jieshan Daban, and the day was April 20, 2010.I was heading eastward passing Bungdag Co, Yanghu Co, Rola Co, and Kangzhagri Mountain, which crossed over the desolate region from west to east. The journey continued northward to enter the unpopulated area of Altun Mountains, through Hoh Xil Mountains, Kunlun Mountains, Whale lake, ..., finally met some people by the Aqqikkol Hu and then arrived in Huatugou by vehicle three days later and that day was July 5. It had been 77 days in total. I had been all alone 74 days after leaving Jieshan Daban until arriving inAqqikkol Hu, which was about 1400km and about four months.[The Great Chang Tang] In Tibetan, "Chang Tang" means northern empty wilderness while narrowly, means unpopulated region in northern part of Tibet. However, it actually indiCATes all of the no man's land in northern. The great Chang Tang includes desolate places in Northern Tibet, Hoh Xil, Alun Mountains, and Kunlun Mountains, which are interconnected to form the unique and super empty wilderness in the world. Only because Hoh Xil is the most known name, most people just think this vast land is equivalent to Hoh Xil. In reality, Hoh Xil is only a small piece of the Great Chang Tang both administratively and geologically. The Great Chang Tang, the last land to chase your freedom and dream.The route that I traversed ForeplayI arrived in Tibet in the early March, a couple of troubles bothered me. The brand new plug got its positive and negative wrongly connected; the rivets of my rucksack eASIly got broken from now and again; and a multi-functional charger got damaged and so on. Riding my bike to Ngari for warming up of this journey, lost my rucksack but later got it back; lost my camera bag and got it back later again, and finally lost a big bicycle pannier in the street of Gyangze town under the eyes of police, including clothes, solar panel and so on.Without much choice, I returned to Lhasa to adjust all the stuff I would need in the wilderness. Then I begged some luck by going to Nyingchi to enjoy the blossoms of peach trees and to take a hot spring bath. I even had the privilege to enjoy time with ten girls in the hot spring. I felt my bad luck had all gone and then returned to Lhasa again to prepare going to Ngari. I did not expect that I was cheated on by some hustler and lost some money and delayed my schedule for a week. I had to find a car myself quickly to Nagri. However, I lost the tool for fast-parting my rear wheel on my way to Nagri, where was a remote area in Tibet and nowhere to buy the tool. Even if there was one in Lhasa it would take at least ten days for a special delivery service. I was lucky that my mate Duola asked a driver to bring the tool for me from Lhasa. I thought there should be no more nightmare like this but the nozzle of my brand new multi-fuel stove was broken. The next day I tried everywhere to weld them back together. The first three shops could not do the welding for copper. The fourth one said they could do it but could not guarantee a sUCCess. The engineer said it would be ten Chinese yuans if it was a success. I agreed. Just in seconds, my nozzle became crap in a flash of lightening. I was so upset. Again, Duola helped me by bringing her own MSR oil stove and Dingding's sleeping bag to Nagri. That was already April 16 and I did not have much time to waste. The following day I found a vehicle heading to Jieshan Daban.The sand storm over Yarlung Zangbo RiverA lonely peach tree blossoming in Yarlung Zangbo Grand CanyonNatural hot spring in wild, me singing and drinking (photo by a friend of mine) Day 1(April 20), 16km, Camping 5192mIt was a truck with a full load of iron wastes, arriving in Jieshan Daban at 6'o clock in the morning. It was still night and extremely cold and dark. Driver was not bothered to pop his head out of the driving cab. I climbed up on the top of the iron wastes, taking my bicycle down. In a hurry, I punched my old water bag. Fortunately I had another MSR water bag given by a friend of mine otherwise I would definitely fail without even starting my journey. For the first time for me to set up the brand new tent in strong, cold winds. It would be impossible to do so if the tent was not a whole piece. Extremely cold outside, about -15C, might be lower than that, I put my head into the sleeping bag but was nearly suffocated to death, honestly. The smell of Dingding's sleeping bag was, lol, so extraordinary. I woke up around 11 o'clock. There were still strong winds outside so that I had to use my bodyweight to keep the tent in place. At the time when I just started to cook and eat, four patrolling soldiers approached me. To their surprise someone, in this season, camped in Jieshan Daban. I was so nervous and afraid they were the people to block my journey because I was caught and deported from the desolate land last year. Luckily the four soldiers did not know my destination and were very kind to me. After they left, I immediately packed my stuff and pushed my bike into the depths of the unpopulated area just in case anything unexpected happened.The bike was very heavy due to the provisions and hard to control. There was even a quite small hill that I had to remove my bike panniers to get over it. This really struck me because this happened even the path was still the hardship one at the moment and I could not imagine what I would do once I entered the uncertain, endless wilderness. Until now I had not met anyone, even the nomadic pastoralists. I remembered there were quite a few of them roaming at the edge of the northern Tibetan plateau last year. All of these indicated it was not the good pasture season in such low temperature and strong winds. Around 16km there was a sheep cote, where I passed it last year, east of Lungmu Co. I was exhausted at this point so that I decided to camp in here and to rest my head. After arranging tent everything I went out to look for the wetland discovered by Duola and Liumeng last year. I was determined to find it.There were many hot springs in the wetland which were underground water with a constant temperature. The wetland therefore became an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such harsh weather, which was the very unique land feature of terrain in this over 5200m highland.Perpetual snow in the valley blown to corn shape by strong windsThis wetland was discovered by Duola and Liumeng. The workers at a nearby mine did not know it and I too missed it last yearUnderground water with a constant temperature, an ideal habitat for some fishes and weeds under such icy weather 感谢大伙儿支持和加分,不一一回复了。特别感谢多啦,希望能有机会一起喝酒吃肉。 Day 2 (April 21), 0km, Camping5192mBlustering gale all night, up and down like ocean waves. The next day rather than continuing to travel, I stayed inside the sheep cote, hesitating and pondering over. Indeed, there were so many problems before this journey;I did not have sufficient physical preparation;the load had already reached its limitation; I still coughed a lot;the weather was so extreme and cold. All in all, I did not think this journey was well prepared and I did not have confidence in completing this journey mentally and physically. To do, or not to do, it was the question. Similarly I did not have confidence in my facilities, not knowing whether all of them would work functionally or not. The fact was one of the rivets got broken again and the front rack came loose. In the afternoon, I replaced all the rivets of the panniers with screws I had prepared before. This was an excellent job I had done which gave me no further troubles throughout my whole journey. I also re-adjusted the front rack. However I did not think it would definitely all right because I did not have a tool to do it. When the darkness descended,I made up my mind to continue my journey, which, of course, was not beyond any imagination. Orchid-like weedsSmall springs everywhere, clear and chillyA thin layer of ice covering the fresh spring water The sheep cote, it was the door under the sleeping bag, which was in the same place as last year, everything looked like yesterdayThe wetland at duskLungmu Co at dusk. You could hear the gigantic sound of wind if the picture had a sound Day 3 (April 22), 52.4km, Camping 5145mGot up in the morning, could not put everything into the bags. Without much choice I had to throw away three portions of tsampa, elbow pads, and crampons. Following the road of the lead-zinicmine I found the side path to enter the wilderness, which was on the riverbed and very hard to see. I missed this side path last year so that I had to take a short cut into the wilderness directly then. That was why I had taken extra care to find the side path. The following journey was to get over a big hill, which lay 5275m above sea level and was the highest point of my whole journey. Around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, I passed the side path leading to Orba Co and started a journey which was complete strange to me. I ate a piece of pilot breads, which was frozen like rocks so that I had to use my spade to crush it. At 6 o'clock in the evening, I had pushed plus rode my bicycle for about 32 km. I reckoned I should have been able to double this if I did no carry such heavy load. The wind became stronger and stronger. I opened the parasail kits and tested it. The result was far beyond what I expected. With the aid of the strong wind I was just like flying over the wilderness. After 8 o'clock in the evening, I started to observe the water Source and to get ready to camp. Map showed there were successive springs along the path and assembled to puddles. But I had overestimated the water source here in this land and in this season there were endless wilderness inside the valley, where I could not see a single drop of water. As it became darker and darker, I felt a little bit nervous which resulted in three spokes of the parasail broken and became a useless rubbish. Anyway, it helped me to move forward 20km more which benefited me a lot later on. When time approached 9.30 pm, it was almost completely dark. I had to lie my bike on the ground and went on to try to find water on the north side of the valley. This was a wide and flat sandy land, where I could not see any ditches there and further was complete darkness. I returned to get my GPS to look up the contours and found the south part of the valley was closer to a hill so I took the way. Finally I found a piece of ice in a ditch. I smashed about 20litre of ice. The ice was quite shallow scattered with sheep poo. On my way back, my eyes were hurt by strong winds, which got me a couple of days to recover. It was nearly 23 o'clock after I set up the tent. It also took about 40 mins to melt the ice. I was so tired and my appetite was completely spoiled. I then had a little bit of milk. I had never expected thing would go like this, it was so distressing. Streams along the path, ice everywhereThe river flew into Matou Hu, in whose north part there was a satellite lake, a wonderful ice-skating court It took 40mins to melt the ice in midnight Day 4 (April 23), 31km, Camping 5028mA cloudy day with gusts. From now and again, hails chased me from behind. Sunny spell. Heavy sandy land made me have to push my bike. At 3pm, I arrived at Luxing Hu, where there was a house made of clay. This was the last permanent building of my journey. Last year, Duola and Liumeng once lived in this house for three days without meeting anybody. It seemed it was the same but the truck parking in front of the house made me worry about. I went to the sheep cote first to check over, where there were only a few lambs following me everywhere I went later on. This made me feel warm in my heart. I observed farther places using my binoculars but could not see any people or sheeps. After making sure there were no people around I opened the locked door using a screwdriver. The living room was very clean. There were two boxes of beverages on the ground and a string of cured lamb legs hanging over in the interior room. A pot of water was on the top of the stove, lukewarm, which indicated the host must be not far away from his home. I filled up my water bag and left the house. I also put the screws back to the door in order not to leave any trace of my visiting. I then took a spanner from the toolbox of the truck, which gave me great help for the rest of the journey.I left the house as quickly as possible. After last year's experience, the nomadic pastoralists were the last people I wanted to meet. A few hundred meters away from the house, the vehicle traces were fading fast. Even downhill, I had to push rather than to ride because of the heavy loose sand. From the route point of view, only after Luxing Hu it was the real unpopulated land. After many days, I thought of the lamb legs from time to time. It was pity that I then had plenty of provisions and the bike was too heavy to carry anything more. Continue to melt the ice under the morning sunshine, all of the sheep poo had been removed carefullyCamping site, the little hill over there was the place where I got the ice last nightThe house by the Luxing Hu, empty, the last permanent building I saw throughout my journeyDay 5 (April 24), 19.8km, Camping 4951mSet off at 10.30 in the morning, the weather was similar to yesterday. Probably this road was the high plain or somewhere the wind passed so that it was so windy. The average wind speed was degree 6 but could reach degree 9 in the blick of an eye. The road was still full of sand and very heavy to walk on it. My eyes became worse under such harsh weather. About three o'clock in the afternoon, I saw something in my right, looked like antenna. I went closer to see what it was and found out it was an iron tower (the triangulation station). In 1970s, a joint team from Chinese three military regiments entered this area doing research. They have left a lot of triangulation stations and benchmarks, which I had the priviledge to see them today.At dusk, I approached to a spring by the Bungdag Co, which flew into the frozon lake. The sand and soil, brought by the strong wind, scattered on the surface of the ice all over the lake. There were so many cracks around the icey surface of the lake. I geussed it must be caused by the springs under the water rather than by melted ice. In the west of the Bungdag Co was the side path leading to Keriya Pass, where a SUV could reach directly. I had looked out any vehicle Tracks but failed. The cloudy sky started to snow. I set up the tent comfortably because I knew that I was safe having such a sweet spring beside me.Triangulation station erected by scientists from the joint research team on Chang Tang of three military regiments in 1971[size=+0]The gap between water and ice in Bungdag Co, I guessed there must be some springs under the lakeThe storm just above the ground, a chaotic darkness[size=+0]Icy Bungdag Co,one of the four biggest lakes in Northern Tibet, wild ducks flying over this vastness and lonenessSnowing at any time, should not happen so frequently like this in this seasonDay 6 (April 25), 4.3km, Camping 5002mWeathering landforms everywhere around this area. Spongy volcanic rocks could be found easily. I pushed my bike turning around a small hill, seeing a big river, the Yinshui He, flowing from Orba Co into Bungdag Co, which I had been to its upstream last year. It was also a passage for animal migration. The downstream of the river was extremely wide and broad. The thickess of the ice layer could reach one meter with the main stem in the middle course of the river, very deep. There were a few springs along the river, sweet and clear.I only went forward a little bit more than 4km but I had walked more than 20km for finding my way. It was not possible to cross the main stem, let alone the north bank of Bungdad Co. What I could only do was to try to find a shallow place to cross. But the southern area was a even larger piece of wetland and forced the road turn towards west. I spent a couple of hours but failed to find a good point to cross the river. In the afternoon, I decided to follow the edge of the wetland. When I reached the hill foot, the wetland finally disappeared. Around this area, there were clearly volcanic feature of terrain and I even found traces of pasturing and cairns made from volcanic rock.Here was the last pasturing trace I found throughout my journey, I guessed it was a summer pasture area. After this, there was no clear sign of human activities in this vast wilderness. I had been looking for my ways until it was dark. I made up my mind where to go TOMOrrow. The terrain here looked like Yardang landforms, as well as volcanic landforms The Yinshui He river from Orba CoSprings scattered all over the river bank, painted green by lovely algaeThe river was very deep. The mixture of green and amber colour showed the sand and mud carried by the melted iceThick layer of ice, sunken surface caused by strong gustsThe south course of the Yinshui He, countless small streams. To the right was the wetlandLooking for ways in the east, a trace of pasturing and the cairn made from spongy volcanic rocksMy camp, opposite to the hillDay 7 (April 26), 11km, Camping 5009mI moved forward to the direction I found yesterday, turning around the wetland and walking toward east. At 2pm, I was blocked by the zigzag Yinshui He again and I had no choice but to cross it. The river was about 700m wide, covered by ice which appeared very different. The hanging ice, the folding ice, the piling-up ice, the icy puddle, and the sleet were everywhere along the river bank. Having noticed all of these, I reckoned the river would be receding at dusk, which was why there were so many different shapes and forms of ice. I put my slipper on, going into the main stream of the river. I found there were at least three different courses of the river, the thickness of the surface ice varied and the river water reached above my knees. I sighed there would be no way back once I crossed this river. There are many ways in one's life too, you can only take it once and you will no long have the courage to repeat it.I pushed the bike crossing the river. Some of the ice was a bit soft, jamming the tyres so that I had to use my feet to break them first. Some of the ice was a bit thick but with half-melted underneath, sticking the the bike completely, some of the ice was half-water half-ice with a sandy riverbed, which was really hard to pass. I had to remove all of the panniers at the last stage of the crossing. I spent the whole four hours to cross the river, my legs got many bloody cuts. At 6pm, the surface ice was almost disappeared completely, the river level rapidly rising to a chaotic status. I thought if I hesitated a little bit at that time, I could not have the courage to cross this river under such circumstances. The river bank was unimaginably sandy and was quite steep. I had to unloaded the panniers again to reach the top of the bank. By the time of sunset, the weather became exceptionally good. The sunlight from the descending sun, the blue sky, the faint moon, .... I liked such a colorful and peaceful Chang Tang and very much enjoyed my camp and myself bathed in such beautiful colour.The ice like this was very thin and suspended, far away from the main stemHard surface with half-melted underneath, the soft sand at the botton was most scaryThe ice like this could easily jam the wheels, hard to get it outI had to unload the panniersChaotic water and terrible hails turned up in no timeThe Chang Tang at the moment liked it used to be,a mixture of cold and warm tones under the golden setting sun Day 8 (April 27), 14.6km, Camping 5112mLast night, I forgot to bring in the odometer, which was out of order due to the coldness in midnight. Since then I used GPS to check the mileage. The digital thermometer was no longer working. I had to use mercury thermometer to collect data. Night temperatures were basically between –15℃—–20℃ while the temperature inside my tent was about –10℃. The advantage of the integrated tent was that it limited the ventilation so to keep warm inside. However, it got clearly disadvantage of heavy condensation and dew. Every morning, there was plenty of frost inside the tent so that I had to put my hood on First Before fully getting dressed. The winds in Chang Tang finally became consistent with the pattern I had researched the other day no or very tiny wind in the morning, strong wind started after 2pm, and then at around 8pm its strength was reduced again. The accuracy of this prediction was about 80%.The road was very bad today. I walked whole afternoon in an ancient riverbed and it was so difficult that I had to use all of my strengths to move a small step forward and then to stop to breath, slower than a snail. After five hours' struggling, my eyes got wet when I saw the grassy river bank. Finally! The nightmare was over.Cold and clear morningHeavy morning condensation in the interior, a lot of frost to clearSuch dawning sunlight indicated a cloudy day ahead Day 9 (April 28), 18km, 5072mIn the morning I entered a range of sandy roads which were so terrible. The solar panel specially designed for GPS got short circuited. After checking it was found to be the diode got damaged. Luckily I got a replacement. Because the GPS was exclusively supplied by a solar panel so that it was no longer a problem for the power supplement of GPS. In a period of 70 days, I did replace the battery once, which saved me a lot of alkaline batteries. I did have another solar panel of 5.4 W which was used specifically for 7.5V Camera, DV and other digital facilities. Unlike water, I had never been short of power.At 7pm in the evening, I arrived at Pur Co. The surface of this lake was very odd the ice by the river bank rose and the river bank was broken, I reckoned that was due to the strong winds. The ice there was mingled with something yellow, could be the stain of alkali. There were many wild yaks on the other side of the lake. There could be two brown bears but I could not be for certain. On the east side of the lake, there was a peninsula leading to the centre of the lake. I camped just opposite to the peninsula. At night , I smashed the ice to get drinking water, which tasted alkali. For the first time I cooked the cereals, which was brought completely by accident. This was just because I found there was a little bit of extra space when I was in Nagri packing the stuff for this journey so that I bought two packs of cereals. It tasted disgusting, probably there was too much alkali in the water. I threw away half of it. Later I realised that probably I subconsciously felt that the provisions was so heavy. I would rather make it lighter at any cost.Dry all my stuff in the morning sun, a routine matterA faint dusk in Pur CoThe river bank pushed up by ice and opened like zipper by gustsThe pushed up surface of the iceThe place where I got my drinking water, a thin layer of ice behind the ablation corns The moment just before sun set, glittering Pur Co, nothing was the same差点儿没找到俺自己的帖子,原来变色了。多谢各位鼓励。 Day 10 (April 29), 16km, Camping 5141mIn the morning, I walked around the north bank of the Pur Co, where it were continuous ups and downs sprinkled with light yellow sprouts across the sparse grassland. The wild yaks clustered into small groups. All of a sudden, there was a group of five of them running towards me, blowing a huge cloud of dust with the power of thunderbolts,I believed that anyone who did not know the characters of the wild yaks must be frightened to death under such circumstances. The fact was the wild yaks in groups never injured people. Rushing to you just to show you its territory. When they approached people at certain distance, they would turn sharply and run away, and then stopped somewhere high to stare at you. You can not imagine that the wild yaks were very cautious animals compared with its almost one ton of weight. Their first reaction, when meeting people, was to raise their tails, the front hooves rubbing against the ground, the horns pointing forward, the eyes redden, and the long body hair shaking, all of which showed their determination to fight.This was the warning sign that you should retreat. However, you should realise that this was only a gesture that they were afraid of you and wanted to scare you away. The thing was that if you were not afraid of them and moved forward, they would run away in no time. There were only some mad yaks attacking people, which was really rare to happen. In Chang Tang, an experienced driver know that it is very dangerous to pass directly from two or three lonely wild yaks. They always tried to avoid confronting them directly. If this was not possible, they would lit a cigarette, smoking, to wait until the yaks walked away themselves. This was because the wild yaks really could attack vehicles, which was not completely rumors. I once asked them why I had not been attacked. They told me that because my bike was so small they would not be bothered to attack it. My own experience was that approaching a wild yak very slowly, do not look into its eyes, and ignored what it was doing. As long as it moved forward a little bit, just stop and give the yaks a little bit of time to think. Because if you forced the yak, it could be themost dangerous animal in the world and nothing could stop them killing. Even a gunshot could not kill it but only left a small hole in its skin. In the past, the nomads living near this land would use yaks' skin as chopping board which was very much endurable. At noon, I lost my balacLAVA, which was brand new and I had never used it once. I could not be bothered to go back tofind it. This resulted in that I had to have my fleece hat day and night in the rest of my journey, which did not provide fully protection from the sun in the plateau. But somehow I was all right, perhaps because my skin is similar to those of yaks, lol. At around half past one, I found a deserted Jeep, upside down. I felt it could be there for years and it could be the vehicle of someillegal HUNTERs. Nowadays, we have wildlife conservation reserves in Chang Tang and the animals here are well protected. However, some people kills the wild yaks to sell them as the domestic yak's meat. In general, it is worth 10,000 Chinese yuans for a single wild yak. Therefore many people take the risk to make money. They often enter the unpopulated areas to hunt and their activities can reach 200 km in diameter. This is why the wild yaks in the deep wilderness are less afraid of people than thoseat the boundaries of the Chang Tang region.There once happened that a wild yak mother revenged its baby's murder in the Altun mountains. Its horns pierced the killer's chest and held his body over its head for more than ten days, which was very touching.Around 3pm, I walked out of the Pur basin. The next point was Hong Shan Daban and then it was the Yueya Hu by the Toze Gangri. At this time I found a vehicle track from south to north. I checked over but could not find the way where they had gone. I took my map, GPS, and compass, climbing up a small hill to estimate the location of Hong Shan Daban. The mountain was very round and it was hard to find the mountain pass. After determining the location of the Daban, I moved straightforward. When I passed a messy grassland, I saw something that I was reluctant to see more than hundreds of wild yaks' head scattered all over, which was definitely the scene of the illegal hunting. After that it was a very long ancient river bed with soft sand slowly rising until the foot of the mountain.There are some spines on the surface of the tongues of wild yaks, which are used by nomads in this area as combs. They use them from their teens to the time when their hair becomes silver.The deserted Jeep, could be left by illegal hunters years agoThe slaughtered wild yaks with the wheel size heads. Some of the skulls were chopped into half. Why was that? Could be taken away for making combs?My camp at the foot of the Daban underthe lingering golden rays of the setting sun. Tomorrow's weather must be wonderful, I reckoned Day 11(April 30), 20.4km, Camping 5120mThe surface of the road leading to Hong Shan Daban was very hard, most of them were small rocks, sort of gravels, plus a quite long downhill slope, I pushed my bike more than 20km for the first time after Luxing Hu. The mountain pass was quite flat, just like a broad ridge, it was 5256m above the sea level. Upon arriving at the pass, Toze Gangri of 6356m was in my sight clearly, very much round and there was no back bone like normal snow covered mountains. Most of the snow mountains in Chang Tang looked like this probably it was due to the geological movements. There were quite a few chirus or Tibetan antelopes in the valley but I was not interested in this kind of animals anymore after I witnessed a large scale of migration of such animals last year elsewhere.The herbivorous animals here are very quick to reach its original size of the population, such as wild yaks, chirus, Tibetan gazelle, pika, and marmot. When you go into the depths of the Chang Tang, you could hardly be surpised by the sudden appearance of the chirus because they are so common in here. At this time of year, the chirus have already male-female parted. You could see many pregnant female chirus but hardly see any males. According to recent research, Zonag Co is not the only lake for breeding. There are at least four of them in the whole Chang Tang. Zonag Co, Tuzi Hu, Heishi Beihu, and another lake I can not remember. I think there must be more than four of them and most of the populations do not migrant long way like most people used to think. They generally migrant from south to north between Central Mountains and Kunlun Mountains.The chirus looks very timid but are very curious about outside world. They are not really afraid of people, particularly in the depth of the Chang Tang. The nearest distance we can approach is about 30m. They just stare at you calmly and think who you are and why you move so slow. They would run in front of you. Look like they are afraid of you but the fact is they are playing with you. A man's own character shapes his fortune. This is of course suit for animals too. The chirus are the typical one. They have a super speed and a pair of sharp antlers. If they are crazy, three of them work together could easily kill a wolf. But as you might have known, their antlers are just for fighting to mate with females.Down the Daban there was a very steep and straight road, I tried to ride the bicycle but ended up with falling over. The front rack came loose and one of the pannier flew into valley. The foot of the mountain was the Yueya Hu covered by ice, which was alake full of heavy metal elements. Along the lake bank there were many stark rocks very much weathered, lining up just like castles or houses. This made me stop to investigate what they were from time to time, I did understand they were just rocks though but they were so real like the figures of real people. On of them even made me hide in a ditch, observing them again and again using my binoculars. There were also many black volcanic rocks. All in all, the features of this area were really unusual.Passed over the Yueya Hu, it was an endless ancient lake bed. What my GPS showed was this area was a big lake like tentacles. I looked around, it was endless wilderness without a piece of ice and a drop of water. Roughly, I estimated this lake bed was about 1200 square meters. I had to tell you that Chang Tang was a place where there was no high-resolution map. The marks in the map often were some kind of memory. Just like this ancient lake bed under my feet, may be it was full of water a few years ago. Who knows. Pushing the bike in such an endless lake bed was very easy to get lost. My mind was in a chaotic status too.The migration of the animals, photo taken last year The road rising up to the Daban, full of gravels, very hard, ideal for pushing your bikeThe Yueya Hu gazed at by the round and smooth Toze Gangri. At a glimpse, could you tell which was mountain, which was cloud?Ancient lake bed. The white stains were the alkali, look like ice. About wildlife (part 1)Declaration Personal experience for reference onlyDangerous wild animals and their threats to human beings are a ever-LASTING subject for those backpackers travelling in the wild.In Chang Tang, for example, there are two kinds of deadly animals, one is wolves and the other is brawn bears. As substitutes, wild yaks and crows might be dangerous to you in some circumstances that I will come back to this a little bit later on. As for how to protect yourself against these dangerous animals, I think the primary point is you do not try to hurt them because the emotions of human and animals are same instinctively. [Wolves]Throughout my journey, I met wolves a total of seven times, in which I confronted them five times. As you might have known that wolves have become more and more solitary animals, it is very rare they live in a large group nowadays. Please allow me off the point a little bit and talk about the ecological problems in Chang Tang. The problem is now not the decrease of the number of the chirus but the imbalance of the whole food chain, more specifically, the number of the animals on the higher trophic levels of the food chain has not yet reached its ideal level which results in this kind of imbalance. Particularly, the pikas and the marmots who have lost their predators rapidly expanse which results in the desertification of Chang Tang. As early as the middle of last century, wolves were the dominant predators in the vast wilderness. They became a threat not only to other preys but also nomads pasturing in this land. Therefore, the then government called on people to cull back the population of the wolves in Chang Tang, which resulted in the current situation directly. The last official record about wolves attacking humans was around 1970s, which happened in Bamaoqiongzong. A team of secientists was surrounded by a group of wolves and they had to shoot them using guns. Of course, at present in Chang Tang, wolves are absolutely lonely.In this traverse, the first time I encountered a pair of wolves, one of them staying in front of me pretending to attack me while the other staying behind me. This is the standard attacking strategy of wolves. First, you should not be nervous which can be easily detected by the predators. Second, you should not retreat even an inch because this means you are the prey rather than the predator. Do not make any large movement, of course you could take a picture if you feel safe to do so. You must look into its eyes for a few minutes or even half an hour. When the wolves can not work out who you are and consider you are not posing any danger to them, then they will leave. You should remember that wolves in this land do not lack of food and it is much easy for them to catch a pika than a human. Even if being hungry, they would evaluate how easy to get you done, What you need to do is to show them that you are not interested in them and you are not afraid of them at all, let alone to show your ID card to them. As for the wolves family, really, I have not heard for ages. If you really have an encounter with them and they have no other choice, then it definitely depends on your forture. In fact, for so many year, it has been very rare to happen that wolves kill human. But the rumours are still there, in particular, the road connecting Xinjiang and Tibet.The nearest encounter with a wolf throughout my journey, no conflict at all[Brown Bears]Brown bears are real dangerous animals to human. Every year there are some accidents happened in some regions of Xinjiang on the north side of Kunkun Mountains and steppes in Northern Tibet. More than that the bears could attack your house, smash your windows, and eat your sheep. Therefore, in Northern Tibet some local councils give subsidies to the pastorarists for compensating the losses due to the bears because they are not allow to fight back and kill the bears except their lives are in great danger. Once there was a nomad taught me a method to protect yourself from bears. He told me to pick up a stick to feed the bear and the bear thinks the stick is your hand which tastes disgusting. So the bear would leave. It was so funny but the reality is to find a stick in this vast wilderness is just like you win the lottery.Bears are omonivorous animal who are generally not interested in human flesh. You can find that in most of accidents, the bears did not eat any of the human flesh rather they just smashed them for kind of fun that we could not understand. For the reason why bears kill human, one explanation is the conflict between human and wildlife in this extreme ecological environment. The nomads invade the habitats of the bears, which results in these conflicts. On the other hand, it might be because bears have quite high IQ so that they think it is much easy to kill a sheep in the cote rather than to kill a pika in the wild.I have met bears five times in my traverse, in two cases we were very close to each other. I had even walked with one of them for quite a while, just like we had a date for a walk. The fact is it is not that terrible like you might imagine. The same rules for dealing with wolves apply to bears. Never provoke dangerous animals. A bear can run at a speed of 40km/h, do you think you can compete this in a highland 5,000m above sea level?However, there is a situation where it is really dangerous, that is the encounter. It is not easy to control your instinctive reaction to the external dangers. Last year once I turned around a hill, there was a bear just in front of me. The bear of course was frightened by me with its front legs holding up, waving in the air and roaring. At that time I sat on the ground, ignoring it. The bear then left in a few minutes. Chang Tang is a vast land so that this is not that easy to happen. But if it does happen, really only God can bless you.The nearest encounter with a bear throughout my journey. This bear disappeared in a herd of wild yaks, which I had tried hard to spot, really weird About wildlife (part 2)Declaration personal experience for reference only.[Wild Yaks]I have talked about quite a few, like in the post of Day10. I will no longer talk about it.This was the funniest encounter with a solitary wild yak, who did not warn me. If I sat down, it sat down too. If I moved forward, it stopped. Could not imagine what it was thinking about.[Crows]Crows are dangerous only when you fall unconscious in the wilderness. Of course they will be the first to taste your flesh in that case. Unlike their cousinsliving in urban areas, the crows in Chang Tang have a larger body like eagles. When they fly over your head, you could feel like it is a piece of cloud. They are scavengers but like fresh meat too. It once happened that a baby was killed by crows relentlessly, let alone the lambs got killed by them. Once a nomad asked me for fireworks to scare the crows away. (They are sacred birds not to be killed by human)It is easy to defend yourself against crows, that is to keep fighting, never fall in the wilderness.A short break attracted the crows. Of course, they were miscalculating this time, photo taken last year[Strategies Adopted]At the time when I met the four soldiers in Jieshan Daban, they said there were many dangerous animals in the Northern Tibet and asked me if I had brought a shotgun. I think if they knew that I would enter Chang Tang they would definitely check if I really have a shotgun. The so-called defence facilities I brought with me were the fireworks and pepper spray. I had never used them. The fireworks were ruined and thrown away when I crossed a river and I had never opened the pepper spray. I even had never thought about this when camping in the night. The reason was I did not feel the needs. During the day time whenever I met any animals I had never touched the knife I had brought. I did not have anything to defend myself when I walked out to investigate the route. The Chang Tang is really a vast area so as to be very easy to detect anything strange.By the way, you'd better to avoid mating season's animals because even tamed rabbits could be aggressive in mating season.The thing is even if you have a gun, it is not very much helpful when bears attack you. Therefore, your attitude is most important.I can tell you something. Dogs are more dangerous than these wild animals. I had been chased by Tibetan dogs, pounced on by dogs in mating season, also besieged by a group of dogs. I really feel it is more useful to know how to defend a dog.Declaration again The above experience is from Chang Tang only. Of course, the more you prepared, the better. Day 12 (May 1), 23.8km, Camping 5117mToday was May 1 -- the Labour Day, I had been walking in some lake area marked in the map but clearly dried up. The lake basin was flat and hard so that I even pushed my bike more than 20km. Let it be the special treat for my May Day. After midday it became cloudy with growing winds. Since the Yueya Hu that I passed yesterday, there were no big lakes until Yanghu Co (My route would be between Jianshui Hu and Bairab Co), there was even no light alkaline water to drink so I had to pay extra attention not to miss any possible drinking water supply to fill up my water bag. There were a few very small lakes but all were alkaline puddles which was very shallow, whose depth was no more than the length of a half-finger. These puddles were covered with a hard shell of the mixture of salt and ice which smelled stinking and decaying when getting closer, must be toxic water I supposed. On the shore of this type of small lakes it was muddy soil and very hard to get closer.There was no sign of tundra at all.It was almost half past six when I found some snow corns in a ditch, which was the only drinking water supply of the day. There was a thin layer of melted ice on the surface of the ground near the snow corn, which was very hard to collect and was contaminated by the alkali. The snow corn was the yet melted thick snow, which was shaped like a corn by wind. The snow was quite hard and dry,porous like ice. I crushed a few snow corns, putting them into the water bag.They would be my drinking water tonight. These snow corns were the only one in today's wilderness, I reckoned the reason why they were not melted like others was the soil underneath contained large amount of ice blocks which acted as a freezer.Very strong gale in the night, it was hard to bear the sound of the vibration of the tent. Small single tent was good in the sense that it would not be blown away as long as you stayed inside. But you had to be very careful to set up the tent. I once did not pay much attention when doing so, the tent was blown away by winds, and rolling over like a Giant lantern ... I ran after it, got it back, and was exhausted. In general, it is not possible to fix the tent completely using tent pegs because they were not very much effective like large tents. It was snowing around 23 o'clock, the winds were howling from north,then the falling snow flakes landed on my tent quietly, I finally felt at peace and fell asleep. The flat ancient lake basin, assisting me walking more than 20kmSmall lake en route, toxic waterSnow corns, the only drinking water supply today Day 13 (May 2), 0km, Camping 5117mWaking up in the morning and opening the tent, the heavy snow outside must be sent by the God to force me have a break for the May Day. After lying in for a while, getting up and walking on the snowy ground out I went to have a look around. As first sight there were a herd of chirus. They were plainly to be spotted because they looked like a clear black straight line in the while snow. I returned to get my camera and then followed them to take some pictures. But they were very much alert and kept a quite long distance from me. I felt they were a group of pregnant females, instinctively protecting themselves from any potential harm. I was no longer short of water, the snow gave me a precious supply of drinking water. The problem was that they were very petrol consuming. I tool 8.6 litre of petrol and the oil stove was Duola's MSR. The pot was of 1.5 litre, mainly for boiling water. After several days' experiments, I found that the liquid water needed 16mins and 14-15mins to boil in the morning and evening, respectively. For ice, it would take 35-40mins while for snow it took 45-50mins. Melting snow was a very time and petrol consuming process so if I had a choice between snow and light alkaline water, most of time I would go with the latter. Lying inside the tent, listening to musics,I smoked a cigarette while gazing at the more and more chirus around me. Because it was very cold I had been wearing my shoes all the time. Now I just put my bare feet under the warm sun for some fresh air. I found three cuts in my hands and one in my sole. The cuts were about 4cm in length, looked terrible but it was actually all right really. Half of my toes were injured by to much walking, quite painful. I fetched my medicine bag and found I only got four patches of plasters, a serious mistake. One of the cuts in my hand had never been cured until I was out of this desolate land so as to feel like this finger would drop from my hand at any time. The others quickly recovered in a few days then new cuts appeared elsewhere. This process occurred periodically. I felt that it was somewhat related to the cold, dry weather and the lack of vitamins. The snow rapidly disappeared, which is unique phenomenon in Chang Tang. Because of the low air humidity and the high radiation from the sun, the snow was evaporating very fast, much quicker than the melting speed. Owing to this, the ground was generally still dry after the snow disappeared. In most cases, it would be only 2/5 left in the afternoon around 2 to 3 o'clock and small patches of ground could be seen. It would be completely all right for walking the next day. On the third day there could be some snow left in somewhere the sunlight hard to reach. So generally it could give you three days of water supply after a heavy snow like this. One of the pannier was broken, the most expensive one from deuter series, supposed to be waterproof. I will come back to it at some point later. Everything was covered by snow, no way out Lying in the middle of Chang Tang, listening to Tian Zhen's songs, and smoking Baisha cigarettes, what else can you ask for?

一 2005年我第一次徒步,从哈熊沟到天池,晚上在水磨河边扎营。那时候我还年轻,健若走兽,批鳞带角,行走如风,没帐篷,没睡袋,没防潮垫,一件廉价冲锋衣盖着肚脐眼儿也能凑活一宿。夜里,同帐的驴友呼声震天,我睡不着觉钻出帐篷撒尿,抬头看见满天繁星从远处黑漆漆的雪山后面喷涌而出,在头顶汇聚成河,星光璀璨,如闪烁的原钻,美得让人忘乎所以,尿水洒了一鞋。 早晨,本色大哥指着那座雪山说:那就是博格达峰…… 那时候我对一座冰冷的雪山毫无兴趣。亿万年前,天地玄黄,宇宙洪荒,人类在巨兽横行的冰河时代,仓皇逃离茫茫冰川雪原,在荒芜的冻土和幽深的冰缝前噤若寒蝉,如今退化得没了野蛮的体魄和御寒的皮毛,居然又开始天天梦想着亲近雪山,总让人觉得虚伪可笑。 之后的很多年,我走了很多地方,累了、困了、停下来抬起头,那座雪山总是岿然立在远处,仿佛我故意缠着她,粘着她,一直围着她转。哪怕在城市里,天气好的时候,我堵在外环路上,抬起头,她依然静静的立在天边,对我若即若离,半推半就,搞的我很不淡定。登山界有个说烂的段子,说是有人问登山家希拉里为什么一生登山不止,他说:因为山在那里。这句话很有深意,但是我更喜欢拉条子的版本,他说山确实在那里,但是钱不在那里……。 这两年,我的半月板渐渐开始退化,走碎石路或者下山的时候偶尔的一下刺痛似乎在提醒我,鲜衣怒马,霸气侧漏,纵横江湖的好时光渐渐远去了。夜阑卧听风吹雨的时候,我常常对自己说,是不是该去那座雪山看看了?不管是藏着晦明剑谱还是闯王宝藏,她总该有个让人趋之若鹜的理由罢…… 二 今年端午节,我跟零红蝶穿越恰西-库尔德宁。途中他说,孙老师的博格达后山照片被GTX公司买走了,他很自鸣得意的给那张后来勾引了无数人前往博格达的照片命名为:“三峰并起插云寒”。我告诉他,不管云寒是谁,这个名字都非常之暴力猥亵。对此他很不屑,他说:我拥有的知识岂是你的想象所能及……。于是我识相的闭嘴了,群规第一条:永远不要挑战领队的权威。 坊间记载:零红蝶者,奇人也,脸黑、人瘦,臭屁,喜红衣,好女装,上知天文地理,下懂洗菜煮米,文能识图,武能下厨。携一众疯男癫女,奔走山莽之间,夜宿旷野之下。日行百里不露疲态,帐混数女不越雷池。此君年轻时头顶重发,神似马云,这两年不管脸型还是性格都渐向冯远征的方向一路狂奔去矣。零蝴蝶说,8月博格达五峰连穿,会彻底颠覆你对传统徒步的理解。 于是我不禁又想起孙老师的大作。那张照片上博格达峰在阳光下白雪皑皑,一层薄雾从山脚升起,两个行者眺望远山,画面感十足,宛若幻境。孙老师网名叫米东徒狼,名字狠,但人温和可爱。有次扎营完毕,大家喝了点小酒,就决定歌以助兴。起先孙老师害羞并不愿唱,后来不知道谁唱了首达坂城的姑娘,结果那块硬又平的石头不仅敲开了姑娘的心房,也彻底敲开了孙老师的歌喉,他连唱五首后突然停下来说:小猪,我嗓子马上就要开了……。孙老师跟我说,博格达是要去一次的,哪怕就那么远远的看着她也值得。 不管怎么说,三峰并起插云寒,终于也插得我下定了去博格达的决心。 三 当年傅青主率七剑下天山,拯救天下苍生;练霓裳肝肠寸断,一夜白头独上天山;卓一航,在雪山绝壁苦等优昙花开。武林高手不要脸的地方在于统统无视高反,上天山如上红山,闲庭信步,进退自如。我没有游龙剑也不会凌波微步,临行前还是慎重研究了一下这条纵跃天山的路线:五峰连穿,南起达坂城三个山村,北至白杨河三岔子沟,全程65公里。途径碎石达坂,夜宿登山营地,翻越简单达坂,由于海拔跨度大,草甸、冰川、碎石、河流、雪山、冰湖各种元素一应俱全,好在未来几日显示天气尚佳,穿越难度适中。 我简单评估了一下自己的能力,估计高反应该对我影响不大,但是考虑到膝盖依旧不给力,装备还是谨慎的控制在20kg。除了帐篷、睡袋、防潮垫、冲锋衣裤、抓绒衣裤外,一切从简。提前一天,联系江湖、飞翔、听雨一干吃货共商搭伙做饭之大计,顺带采购了馕、笋子和蘑菇,准备把“将一切线路走成腐败线”的原则贯彻到底。 整装完毕,已是夜半,倒头睡去,梦中又回到那片茫茫雪山,山下练霓裳白发如雪,宛若天仙,她对我说,长相厮守不若相望于江湖,留一点未了之情,彼此相忆吧……,不等我挽留,已飘然离去,消失在雪山之巅。我不禁悲从中来,泪如雨下,高呼:哥唯知徒步,不会登山也!醒来时,枕巾哭湿了一片……。 四 出发当日报有小雨,上车前却一直阳光明媚。夏天、拉条子、老虎,连带天体流两大掌门:南双鱼北不弃,纷纷前来送行,突然感觉如壮士断腕,陡增豪迈之气。和众英雄一一话别后,车一路南行。途径达坂城,江湖采购了些蔬菜和调料,江湖者,笑傲江湖是也,湖哥虽貌似藏民实为回民,次日便是肉孜节,算算江湖已闭关封斋一月有余,任督二脉俱开,体内真气游走,身轻如燕。江湖是有名的强驴,是这次长线的协作,捎带负责照顾两位外地女施主,白天赶路,晚上混帐,不舍昼夜,甚为辛苦。 下午六时许,车至三个山村,众人整装换乘卡车一路向北,小雨终于开始淅淅沥沥的飘下来,车外风大,和尚我被吹得烦躁不堪,挥手猛抽之仍不解恨。柏油路、机耕路都走完,再过几座水泥桥,卡车再无法前行,从这里旅途算正式开始了。第一天行程约5公里,海拔上升400米,算是热身顺带考察体能。零蝴蝶扬言若比他晚至营地20分钟者,斩立决!众驴不敢懈怠,紧随其后,天黑前悉数按时到达2号羊圈扎营。我挑了个上风上水的宝地搭好帐篷,趁着雨还未下大,忙与飞翔、江湖开始做饭。因江湖逢菜必放十三香,大厨资格被弹劾,由飞翔接手。飞翔是恰西就一起走过的大哥,体力虽然不强,但是性格温和,人品一流,厨艺上佳,尤数醋溜菜系堪称一绝。饭毕,风雨渐强,大家各自回帐休息。 夜晚,风雨交加,我扎营时偷懒未绑风绳,地钉扎的也浅,结果半夜大风吹得帐篷左摇右晃,帐内空间瞬间小了一半,我半梦半醒间对形势做了简单分析:一、睁眼看不到天空,说明帐篷还在;二、内帐贴在脸上,想是帐篷八成被吹塌了;三、实在太困,以上两条皆可忽略。遂继续昏昏然睡去矣。 五 次日,风息雨停,帐篷犹在,除了几个挂绳从地钉上脱落之外,还算坚挺。一夜大风之后,空气格外通透,远处的雪山清晰可见。老衲7点半起来开始收整,吃了一碗翔哥煮的奶粉泡馕,昨夜被风雨折磨损耗的功力顿时恢复,丹田一股热浪涌遍全身。9点半准时拔营,沿马道一路上行,今天的行程全程爬升,本来我已经做好了重装爬坡的心理准备,但是真正到背起包,迈开腿的时候,还是觉得有些英雄“气短”,走长线前期的调整和适应很重要,迷失的都市人要走的慢一点,等等自己的灵魂,徒步人则要不时等等自己的肉体,即使灵魂已经飞到了雪山之巅。我放慢速度,调整好步幅,每步都很小,但是不停顿。大约两公里后,我已经超到了零蝴蝶身后。 天山南坡雨水少,草木皆疏,略显荒凉,山里四下静谧,满耳朵都是风声,这是一段相对枯燥的路程,好在雪山就在那里,她让我迈出的每一步都坚定而有目的性。中午在4号羊圈休息,早上一共在山脊上走了8公里。我顺势坐在零蝴蝶旁边休息,他掏出鸡腿和萨其马,然后幽幽的对我说:没有鸡腿的死开,我毫不示弱的掏出牛肉干还以颜色。 搭伙的小伙伴们陆陆续续也到达了休息点,听雨依旧挑选了个大石块立刻躺展,估计是早上的爬升让她不太适应,我看这一路她逢石必躺。听雨是个单纯妹子,体力不算强,但是耐力很好,爱好徒步的女孩都有个共同的特点,就是性格好,这点在听雨身上尤为明显。当初在恰西的泥里蹚了一路,疲惫不堪,走到一个山包,众人指着对面的另外一个山包说,彼处若有人相衬,照相效果必佳,孰愿往?听雨闻言立刻报名,一路狂奔至对面山包,各种瑜伽抛斯摆起……。 听雨妹子热衷于拍跳跃的照片,每次拍之前和尚我都亲自施展轻功示范,但每次照出来的效果仍旧不佳,所以我断言听雨者,不善弹跳。怎料某次我在给听雨拍跳跃照片时,被飞翔抓拍了一张,照片上,这妮子居然高高腾空,姿势甚是轻盈飘逸,方知原来是我不善摄影也,呜呼! 徒步圈的女人分两种,一曰软妹子,一曰女汉子,软妹子全程靠强驴照顾,女汉子全程照顾别人,听雨介于两者之间,勉强算个软汉子吧。但是偶尔的,我神经错乱的那么一刻,会依稀记起赛里木湖边,清晨,第一缕阳光洒在湖畔,听雨站在朝阳下与景色浑然一体,不事雕琢,令人难忘…… 稍事休息,未等听雨把石板趟热,零蝴蝶已经啃罢鸡腿,背包准备出发了。从4号羊圈向左前方走,进入一条布满碎石的山沟,由于海拔的不断上升,草渐渐变得稀少,下午的路线基本就是一条很窄的碎石马道。我左腿膝盖吃不上力,导致右脚脚踝在碎石间很容易扭伤,所以无奈只好再次放慢速度。路线的强度也开始慢慢变大,除了马道渐渐变窄外,爬升也开始了。中途休息,传统穿越租用的马匹从身后超过来,碎石路让他们不堪忍受,马匹可以一直把运行李驮运到登山大本营。 面对眼前爬升200米,角度40度的碎石达坂,这次行程我第一次感觉到了压力。好在经过多年修炼,我已练成了大理延庆太子的绝学“一阳指铁杖神功”,要领是:双杖前探扎地,气聚天府穴,双臂支撑,一步完成。此神功被证明无坡不破,唯一的缺点是速度太慢,没走多久,身后哈密北山羊的几个武林前辈渐渐超过我走在前头。神功未施展几招,抬头发现零蝴蝶居然已经在坡顶俯瞰群驴,一副君临天下之势……。和尚我一想到我堂堂大理皇家御用神功居然不如他零蝴蝶的疯狗式走法,顿时气不打一处来,遂催动内力,手杖扎地犹如捣蒜,一口气爬到坡顶,累的险些一口鲜血喷出,血洒天山……。事后,哈密寒星大哥说,当时我在他身后,犹如狼撵…… 碎石达坂达坂上乃是一道瀑布,冰川融水汇聚于此,奔流直下,甚为壮观。众驴在瀑布顶端休息,我靠在一块巨石上,遥望远方,远处博峰似乎又近了一步…… 七 离开瀑布很快就见到第一个冰湖,8月湖面浮冰已融,湖水寒冷彻骨,湖面不大,但是湖水碧绿,在雄壮雪山的映衬下显得楚楚动人,如果7月前来,这里的湖冰未融,又是另外一番景象。冰湖边有块大石延伸进湖水里,乃是个照相的绝佳地点,众驴纷纷在此留影。此时天色渐阴,湖边风起,让人觉得有些寒意,大家稍作停留便右拐离开冰湖。路程开始变得平缓,但是路况并未有多大好转,依旧是碎石河道,只不过石块更大。如果是丰水年份,河道里是有水和河冰的,今年气温高,冰雪尽融,只剩下一片碎石。冰河的尽头,是一条溪流,今年水小,甚至不用涉水,直接踩在石块上便可过河。 碎石路让我非常崩溃,纵然施展凌波微步也还是感觉小腿发酸,加上登山鞋的鞋带没有系紧,我掐指一算,脚底应该是已经磨出水泡无疑。好在渡河之后,前方的道路一马平川,我继续用狼撵式走法埋头追了两公里,渐渐又回到队伍前列。肩膀酸加脚疼,我开始渐渐有些烦躁起来,翻过一个小山丘,突然发现,博格达峰已经赫然立在眼前……多年前我在西外环路上堵车,远望东南,天片的博格达主峰与浮云连成一体,如海市蜃楼,虚幻缥缈。之后的很多年,一提起缥缈峰灵鹫宫,我脑子里立刻闪现过天边那空中楼阁一般的博峰。我决定,有朝一日,定要直上天山,力克童姥,取了生死符,从此独步江湖…… 如今博峰即在眼前,只是天边流云似铁,雪峰依旧在云端若隐若现,高高在上,丝毫没有因为距离的缩短而放下身段,反而似乎更加遥远威严神秘。我开始有点理解人为什么会在一座雪山面前惊叹、感动、折服、膜拜。人生如梦,白云苍狗,人总要翻过一座属于自己的山峰,你那些曾经的不堪回首、牵肠挂肚、风光荣耀、没落孤寂、生死离别,在他百万年漫长的守望下,犹如沧海一粟,微不足道。似乎翻过山,抛下过往才有勇气再面对漫漫的人生路,因为我知道不论走多远,永远翻不过去的始终是生活。 八 今天夜宿的营地是博格达登山大本营,一块成熟的扎营地,夏季登山协会会在这里训练队员,地势平坦,营地旁有优质的水源,缺点是:遍地碎石,我的帐篷是半自立式的,对于无法扎地钉的露营条件简直是一场噩梦。只好用大石块压住四角固定帐篷,因为无法充分拉伸帐篷空间,双人帐勉强变成了单人帐。江湖当了一天收队,一路基本没怎么休息,体力消耗巨大,几近崩溃,估计有些轻微高反,到营地立好帐篷就钻进去睡了。 我简单考察了一下营地周边环境,营地边上立着白雪小姐的衣冠冢,后面是三个香港山友的墓碑,想想他们魂断博峰,长眠于此,日日望着不远处的雪山峻岭、日升日落,也算不错的归宿吧。营地对面是一个小山包,翻过山包可以看到博格达4、5、1号主峰和山脚下的冰湖,这时候天气已经转阴,山间云山雾罩,三峰不可全见,我坐在湖边的石头上静静等了一个小时,云无散迹,渐渐三峰均隐没于云中。 我走回营地和飞翔一起张罗着做饭,和零红蝶混帐的两个驴友,状况不太好,准备次日和传统穿越的队伍一起从天池下撤。马达把所有吃的悉数贡献出来,飞翔又整了个四菜,大家就在江湖的帐篷里边吃边聊,直至深夜。每次走长线我都很珍惜和众驴友在一起的时光,常有人在群里说这次没机会下次再一起走,我对这种话一般都不太确信,这些年走了好多路,有些朋友相逢一次就再也没见过,浮云一别后,流水十二年,很多东西过了就过了,没有下一次。 帐外突然开始下雨,我们钻出大帐,准备各自休息,眼前的博峰在一片风雨交加的苍茫夜色里显得愈发雄壮…… 九 一夜风雨,白发魔女和天山童姥均未入梦。早起发现帐篷外全是冰碴,又是阳光明媚的一天。朝阳从山间洒向营地,草石皆金,博峰全貌尽显,此时湖面如镜,雪山投影在水中,浮冰闪耀,美不胜收。当年全真教长春子丘处机道长在天山作诗有云:雪岭界天人不到,冰池耀日俗难观,我能看到这雪岭冰池也算不俗了罢。 吃完早餐,跟传统穿越队伍话别之后,众人沿冰湖向南,走上冰川,逐渐向雪山靠近。今天要长距离的冰川行走和翻越雪山,路程强度最大,也最危险。四百多万年前,博格达冰川形成,巨大的冰川推动着山脚下的巨石缓缓移动,犹如流淌着的时光河流,随着冰河时代的结束,全球气温回暖,冰川渐渐消退,留下巨大的绿色岩石。冰川行走的危险在于表面积雪下深不见底的冰裂缝和冰洞,这个季节,冰川上很大一部分积雪已经融化,大的冰缝都暴露出来,危险降低了不少,一早上数公里的行走,居然丝毫没有感觉疲惫。中午,大部队到达简单达坂脚下,在一处有水源的石堆上午餐。 我靠在一块大石头上仰望海拔4160米的简单达坂,看着云从达坂顶上飘过,拖着七彩光晕,不知为何,突然觉得莫名悲伤。当年简单开发五峰连穿路线,越过4160达坂的时候,大概也是意气风发,豪情壮志,如今山未易,人已逝。这两年不管是严冬冬的英逝还是杨春风、饶剑锋的遇难,总让人不禁唏嘘感叹,也惹得争议一片。在这件事上,我总觉得,一个理性的人,只要明白自己追求事情的危险性,能够接受最坏的结果,那么即使倒在追梦的路上也算死得其所,你可以不认同他们的行为,但是必须保持尊重。 十 吃过饭,我简单评估了一下面前4160达坂的难度,坡度陡、爬升高、积雪厚,应该不像它的名字那么简单,外加早上搭伙的小伙伴们说看我有做强驴的潜质,所以把5个气罐全部塞进我的包里这个不利条件,我认为这会儿不是证明自己负重能力的时候,所以果断把两个满罐藏在石头下面,零红蝶说他日后取来私用。减负之后,也许是心理因素,立刻觉得包轻了不少,很快我跟着零又走到了队伍的最前面。但是走到一半,随着坡度的加大,体重大的缺陷也暴露出来,零走在我前面在雪上踩的很浅的脚印,我一踩立刻没至膝盖,我每一步都只能跪着从雪里拔出脚才能迈下一步。身后的“天气”身形小巧轻盈,很快就超在我身前,我侧身一看,她只在雪上留下一串浅浅的脚印,轻功水上漂啊!只恨自己轻功不佳,就这么一步一跪,如朝圣一般,终于爬到了达坂顶端。 眼前无限风光,茫茫冰川向远处延展,右侧是博格达高耸入云的雪峰,天空蓝的发暗,风过身摇,一时间感觉有点轻微的晕厥。那些阴郁的、无奈的、沮丧的、伤感的、愤愤的情绪在这一刻随风而逝。我开始明白人们为什么对一座雪山如此热衷了,当你靠近她的时候,她的纯净、纯洁、纯粹似乎可以净化你的内心…… 也许是有点忘乎所以,下达坂的时候,我掏出防潮垫,准备坐着直接滑下去。这个壮举被零蝴蝶凶狠的制止了。无法控制下滑速度,很可能会掉进冰裂缝或者撞在前方的石头上,纵然我有神功护体刀枪不入,也难免大伤元气,从此退出江湖。 十一队伍在达坂北坡下休息,等后面的队员陆续翻过达坂。喀什来的驴友“飘絮的风”有些高反,翻达坂对他来说是个大考验,飘絮的风背了五六公斤的摄影器材,所以一路很受折磨,但是走在队伍最后的他还是拍下了很多美不胜收的照片,本帖的照片照的好看的均出自他之手,在这顺便感谢飘絮的风。 大概等了一个多小时,队伍再次聚齐。开始漫长的冰川行走,从现在开始,海拔一路下降,这一段冰川的景色异常壮观,博格达2、3、4、1号峰就在身旁,随便停下都可以拍到雪山美景。队伍沿着冰河前行,遇到横切的冰裂缝,冰河便流入冰缝,有的冰缝被冲击成一个冰洞,深不见底,看着慎人。冰川的尽头又是一片乱石路,听雨才走了一小段就扭伤了脚,好在不严重,稍事休息还可以继续。前一天的碎石达坂,让我总结了几条走碎石路的经验:一、多用手杖,二、不要相信任何一块石头,哪怕它看着很大很稳固,三、两只脚同时踩到落脚点了再迈下一步。按照这个方法,虽然还是走的很慢,但是这一段路程我膝盖没有感到不适。 傍晚,在一处地势平坦的冰湖边扎营,远处夕阳斜下,博格达峰被镶上了一层金边。晚饭本来按惯例依旧由飞翔掌勺我打下手,炒了两个菜后,听雨对我和飞翔每个菜都不放辣椒这件事很火大,所以决定亲自下厨。听雨炒菜的风格属于剽悍型,一个菜用三个菜的肉和调料,手法也基本是降龙十八炒加打狗铲法,虽然看似暴力,尝了尝味道居然还不错。这是我们在山里的最后一顿晚餐,大家吃完又聊了很多。聊起了曾经的孟克特、冰川壮美的夏特,繁花开满山谷的环博,细雨绵绵的恰西,风雪漫天的车师……。帐外已是浓浓的夜色,天山上,龙蛇笔走,墨泼南溟…… 十二早起拔营,大家沿着冰湖边一路北行。今天我们就要开始离开博格达峰了,翻过山梁,博峰渐行渐远,我们已经走到了经典的博格达后山,当年孙老师就是在这里拍下了“三峰并起插云寒”的美图。众人也纷纷效仿,只是少了些魔幻的光线和雾气,怎么也没法拍出孙老师那张照片的感觉,好在博峰壮美,随便怎么拍都是美景。 一路下坡。路况也基本是草地和马道,队伍的速度越来越快,中午在绝望坡下的河流边吃完午饭,接下来就是几公里的马路,身后的博峰渐渐隐匿在山间的松林里,前方是无尽的石子路,走得我非常崩溃。我的登山鞋非常不适应在这种道路上行走,所以我放慢速度,和哈密北山羊的几个大哥走在一起,速度和步幅正合适。 远处村落渐现,我知道旅途该结束了,不管你翻过多少山峰,终究还是要面对生活这座高山。这些年我一直问自己,我们为什么活着,是为了活的更长?更富有?走的更远?去更多的地方?我们行走的意义究竟是什么?早些年我看山是山,看水是水,那时候膝盖坚若磐石,大块吃肉大碗喝酒,铁肩担道义,长歌万里行,妄言万水千山走遍。这几年吃了亏,摔了跤,碰了壁,灰头土脸,头破血流,开始变得看山不是山,看水不是水,行走也变得不再单纯,徒步里多了些炫耀、虚荣和自以为是,其实走过多少地方,登过多少山峰并不堪称其为一种资本,不管是腐败、自虐、探险还是玩命,你要寻找的始终还是心里的那片风景,如果不明白这一点,即使走再远也走不出自己的心。可以想象,若干年后我终究会老的再也不能行走,也许膝盖早已置换成了钛合金,以前走过旅程渐渐变成回忆,对此我并不恐慌,因为那时候我也许已经变得宠辱不惊,看山还是山,看水还是水,短锄栽花,长诗佐酒,诗剑年年总忆卿……大合影 最 后 最后说说装备和注意事项,8月博格达山区气温并不算低,所以徒步一般可以穿速干衣裤,遇到风大的山口或者阴天,可以套上冲锋衣御风。考虑到碎石和冰雪路面,全程必须穿高腰登山鞋。有两件事是以前我持怀疑态度,通过这次长线确认的:一是零蝴蝶的长线穿两双袜子的理论,二是零蝴蝶的速干裤外面套冲锋裤的理论,证明都是正确的。 关于睡袋我个人认为10月前上博格达,只要防潮垫给力,G700的羽绒睡袋绰绰有余。 冲锋衣方面我还是坚持我的观点,就是带一件好冲锋衣,就不要带雨披了,虽然群里曾经有高端人士在这个问上跟我有过争论。 最后说说帐篷,博格达五峰连穿除了第一天外,全程营地不适合扎地钉,对于轻量化的半自立帐篷,由于无法用地钉把帐篷完全撑开,所以会损失很多空间,飞溪2在这种环境下只能作为单人帐使用。 负重上,我认为男士控制在20kg以内,女士控制在15kg以内为佳,女汉子视情况而定,至于不离不弃和双鱼这种天体流的负重自然是多多益善。 好了,帖子至此算是完结了,不管你关注与否,走过的路都会成为我们心中的财富,如梦幻、如琥珀,永难忘。 当年万里觅封候,匹马戍梁州。 关河梦断何处,尘暗旧貂裘。 胡未灭,鬓先秋,泪空流。

《东方航空》杂志社找我约临沂的组片,可巧我没有到过临沂,本想找到过临沂的影友征几张片以应杂志社编辑之约,问了几个影友也都没拍过,想想临沂离得这么近都没去过,好像有点说不过去,就想着干脆利用周末跑一趟,于是,“成就”了这次鲁地孤旅。之所以用《鲁地孤旅》这个,是当时我正在看村朗的《藏地孤旅》,这次又恰巧是独行,好友说你这次可以写篇《鲁地孤旅》的游记了,这个就这样“诞生”了,有点党的嫌疑哈。好在是游记,玩的是心情,也就不在意其他了哦。4月13日(周五)下午5:00,乘坐K1065次动身去临沂,这是一趟目前为数不多的绿皮车之一,我说买票时对票价有所诧异,3个多小时的车程票价居然只有19元,检票到了月台我才看清楚这趟车是汉口开往威海的绿皮车。按说这个季节乘坐绿皮车应该还可以,没想到气温的陡然回升让这绿皮车的温度也突然升温,呆在车厢内感觉有些燥热,站站停的短途车每每都是超员的,感觉就更热了,很久没坐过绿皮车了,这次鲁地的孤旅又“品尝”了一次绿皮车的滋味。虽然是绿皮车,但列车并没晚点,晚上810,列车正点到达临沂北站。出站后给预订的118连锁酒店栾经理打电话询问地点并兼与出租车司机砍价。临沂北站离临沂市区很远,有20多公里路程,火车站离那么远的城市还真不多,比清明节去的扬州车站还要远很多,据说临沂北站离城区比到临沂机场还远,这让人有点犯晕。正是因为如此,在火车北站打车的问上我请教栾经理,栾经理告诉我,找送站的回程车,可以砍价到10元成交。可下车后问了几个出租车司机,都是要价30元,这事有点纠结,电话里栾经理交代我,不行就再找车,一准能找到。可站在黑兮兮的车站广场上一辆一辆的找车也是个麻烦事,最后与一个司机砍价到20元,就这么着吧,总算没吃亏。乘车到了酒店,因为之前通过同程网有预约,顺利的办了入住手续,宾馆环境还不错,房间也很干净,安顿下来赶紧洗澡更衣,之后拿出打印好的相关资料做功课,安排好第二天的行程后早早休息。第一天的行程我安排的是去蒙山景区和参观平邑天宇自然博物馆。这一天的行程很紧张,为此我把闹钟定在了早晨430,清晨闹钟一响赶紧起床,收拾好要带的物品后就出门,打车去长途汽车站。打车途中就遇到大雾天气,能见度极低,非常熟悉路况的司机差点迷了路,等把我送到车站买好票坐上车,车站调度因为天气原因暂停发车,所有的班车都滞留在车站。这下好了,汽车站效仿了机场,因大雾天气,暂缓发车。无奈的旅客们只好坐在车上等。一直等到730,车站才放行。白白耽误了1个多小时,这让原本时间就不宽松的行程变的越发的紧张了,车到蒙山路口已经是900了。所好的是从蒙山路口下车后就看到一辆黑车停在路口,司机正在拉三个学生上车,学生也是第一次去蒙山,不了解情况,正犹豫间我走了过去,问司机多少钱,司机回答一人五元,按照路牌路口到蒙山景区11公里,每人5元的价格还算可以,于是就和3个学生拼车来到了蒙山。 蒙山是山东第二大山,第一自然是泰山。虽说没听说有什么特别美的自然风景,可这次是带着“任务”来的,就尽量按照杂志社稿件的内容拍摄吧。事先也看到了文稿的内容,那就按照文稿按图索骥的拍。但实话说,蒙山的风景相比其他名山而言,确实是不够秀美,这里没有江南山川的秀美,也没有西部山峰的险峻,最主要的是此山水少,自然就缺少了点灵秀之气,这也是我之前去过一次泰山就不再去第二次的原因。我喜欢的山是应该有水的,一直觉得山水应该是相依相存的。虽不是智者,但女人爱水也属于天性吧。蒙山,古称东蒙、东山,为泰沂山脉的一个分支。总面积1125平方公里,其中龟蒙景区为625平方公里,主峰龟蒙顶海拔1156米,因其状如神龟伏卧云端而得名,为山东第二高峰,被誉为“岱宗之亚”。现为国家AAAA级旅游区、国家地质公园、国家森林公园、东方养生长寿圣地、山东省十大最美的地方、十佳山岳旅游区和十佳自驾车旅游区。“孔子登东山而小鲁”中的东山即指龟蒙景区。蒙山我感觉所好之处是比鲁南的峄山树多,虽说也有那种大石块,但森林覆盖率还是很高的,这点在山东的鲁南地区也是很少见的。龟蒙山成为东方养生长寿圣地,故山上以寿为主的内容蛮多的。山神庙,只是大门紧闭,不知看庙的哪里去了。让我想起那个故事:从前有座山,山上有座庙,庙里有个老和尚。。。这让我想起那首《沂蒙山小调》: 人人那个都说哎 沂蒙山好 沂蒙那个山上哎 好风光 青山那个绿水哎 多好看 风吹那个草低哎 见牛羊 高梁那个红来哎 稻花那个香 满担那个 果蛋哎 堆满仓刚还说山东的山少水,这水还真就看到了呢。没想到这里还有个九龙潭。其实这九龙潭就是个水库,春季是枯水期,蓄水量并不大,但给蒙山这个缺水的山带来了灵秀之气,给山下的村民和农田提供了水源,也给我的画面增添了美感。 。。。。。。山间里也有溪流,但确实很小,春季属于干旱期,这水就更少了,可临沂旅游规划者们倒也有招数,把个山间溪流取名情人谷,用了一大堆与情相关联的词语给这里的山水命名,以吸引年轻人来此造访。鸳鸯潭,就是此潭浅了点。洗个鸳鸯浴啥的有点小,呵呵。这里有爱情,也有财气,看你需要什么了。遗憾的是俺这次是独行,来此情人谷行游纯属是“自寻烦恼”,匆匆拍摄完这些景点后立马闪人。月老祠边有个人一直忽悠游人到月老祠拜一拜,我还是没进去,路过,咔嚓一张片子,走人。实话说,这沂蒙山相比较南方的山,这花花开的有点太可怜了。 原以为蒙山不咋高,不会很难爬,没想到这座1000多海拔的山爬起来还真不少费时间。同行的很多人都累得气喘吁吁,我还算好,虽说也很累,但没像他们那样如老牛喘气。蒙山最美的一个景点当属鹰窝岩,因无人攀登而故名。其他地方的所谓景点就太一般般了。可居然在山上看到了一首摩崖诗:具有华山之险,黄山之秀,长白山之翠,乃神山也。也不知是哪位大侠的杰作,真能吹啊,也不怕把山上的大石头给吹跑喽。鹰窝峰是蒙山最美的景观点。该峰丛于深壑峡谷之中拔地而起,直刺苍穹,奇峰东侧绝壁千仞如削,峻岩森森,草木不生;南侧峭壁罅隙,奇松横偃,或倒立下垂,或凌空欲飞,或如蛟蟠龙欲撕云吞日,千姿百态,瑰玮万状。因只有苍鹰盘旋其伴,筑巢其上,而得名“鹰窝峰”。山峰景色奇绝,实乃山水之画屏,天壤之奥区。鹰峰奇观为蒙山十大景观之一,自古就有“不到鹰窝峰,枉为蒙山行”之说。 蒙山最美风景,来2张接片展示一下。 这便是那大忽悠的“诗作”。倒是这天街有那么点点泰山十八盘的感觉,但台阶数可差多了。 这里也来两张接片看看全景。气浴清新之处,来此要多做深呼吸哦,要是夏季雨过天晴那空气会更好,可惜是春季干旱之时,这空气中的负氧离子含量要低好多。群龟探海 该处海拔达千余米,寒冬作用强烈,加上各种裂隙众多,经过千万年的风化、崩解和剥蚀,雕琢成奇峰陡立、怪石嶙峋的景观,特别是在多组裂隙交会的棱角部位,经过长年化学风化作用形成如龟似兽的怪石,因峡谷中常能形成云海、雾海,在云雾的衬托下构成了神龟探海的绝妙景观。龟 蒙 顶 龟蒙顶是蒙山主峰,海拔为1156米,为山东第二高峰,是龟蒙景区的高潮景观区。峰体呈穹窿形,象一只巨大的神龟,伏卧于云端天际,给人以神秘奇幻的感觉。 。。。。。。。。置身龟蒙极顶,俯视周围,万壑流云,烟霞明灭,苍山如海,绿浪滚滚,碧连天际。正如唐代文学家萧颖士在诗中所写:“东蒙镇海沂,合沓百余里”。蒙顶树木葱茏,花草丛生,已逾百年的古松,苍劲挺拔,如龙如虬,如翠盖,如层楼,或偃,或卧,或独干,或连枝,或出山巅,或生石罅。松荫连翠,望之若云。远眺山外田畴,平旷秀丽,浚河、东汶河的一些支流,就像蜿蜒小溪,曲回流淌。再远处,西面的徂徕山,东面的天马岭,南面的抱犊崮,隐隐现出灰色的轮廓,和近山构成一幅美丽的山水画。登上龟蒙顶,云生脚下,天风习习,举目四望,但见群峰葡匐,河流天倾,库水如镜,田园如诗如画,昂头天外,倍感心旷神怡,超凡脱俗。玉皇殿高高的立在龟蒙山顶,想去参拜下玉皇大帝还真不容易。([]
