The day before we left for Yushan we visited low-elevation peaks near DongPu ShanZhuang. At one of them we met a group of local tourists. We were sitting apart from them at a distance, when one of them approached us, smiling, and offered a couple of small buns. It was very natural, and not-natural at the same time, as in the place what we call home, complete strangers don't share simple things like that. Think about it. 8)

[分享] 6.26 入住东埔山庄

我们0900离开了徒有虚名的日月潭(留待后续),中午时分到东埔山庄。一下车,清凉的山风扑面而来,和台北的闷热简直一天一地(当然啦,这里海拔两千多呢),不由得想起温哥华夏日树荫下的感觉。路边见到它醒目的庄名,哦,终于到了!(激动!)但由于我们有小拉杆箱,还有背包+电脑包,没法走shortcut的山路下去,只能走马路,嗬,这二三百米的一路拖着箱子,即便是下坡,也不容易,因为路面不像溜冰场那么光滑,我的小背包常常从拉杆箱上滑下来,我差点要怨声载道起来。好在,我们到了!

乍一看东埔山庄,非常俭朴,相比起后来山上住的看似modern的排云山庄,这里就像一个农庄。(谁能想到呢,从排云回来后,我觉得东埔山庄是那么亲切,好在订了两晚,我还有机会感恩)我们走进门,一位约四十多岁的女子坐在桌边,好像在做什么编织类的手工(很多彩色细线挂在墙上)。她头戴毛线帽,顶上还挂着两个球球,走起来一晃一晃的;套着及膝的雨鞋,穿着两用衫,这哪里是夏天的打扮啊?因为整个大巴只有我们二人在此下车(估计台湾人都是开车而来),所以我们是最早check-in的,她很意外,好像还没完全反应过来,不急不忙地拿了登记簿,我想那是预约本吧,圆珠笔写了不少道道,找啊找啊,我还一边解释我可是打了电话确认了的。后来发现原来我的名字写成了拼音,竟在第一行。

-- 你们要住几晚?
-- 我订了两晚啊,26、28两天。
-- 你确认要住两晚吗?(她这一问,我又没主意了,看看博士)要不这样吧,我先给你留着,你先付一晚的钱,后天下山了你要是住的话,再说,好吧?(天哪,这么好!)
-- 那我还要订餐呢,晚餐+早餐,两份。(我可没准备吃的,全靠它呢)
-- 好。那你也先付一天的吧。
-- 那我们明天爬山,后天回来,可以把行李留下吗?
-- 好的,可以。

这么简单的几句话,就解决了我们的衣食住行。没有热情洋溢的词藻,却令人感动(在台湾,你会常有这样不经意的感动)。接着,她领着我们进了房间,给了我们最里面的两张下铺,而且只有这里有可以挂东西的绳子,沿墙正好可以放行李箱。房间很整洁,门两边是整排的上下铺的床,紧挨着,一层8铺,所以这个房间一共有32张铺。天蓝色的床垫,天蓝色的被子,还有看起来很有弹性的枕头,每个都叠得好好的靠着墙的那一侧,就像军营里的一样。我们安顿好,问了吃饭时间(1800-1830 开饭),搞清了何处洗漱,就匆匆告别了她,因为我们下午很忙的:不仅要去玉山的登山服务社缴费取入园证、到塔塔加的警察小队去办登山证,而且我们还要去hiking:玉山游客中心附近的山,博士很贪喔,一个也不想放过!

因着博士的巧妙安排,我们就在这个下午,办好了所有的玉山登山手续后,还登了四座山:麟趾、鹿林、鹿林前山,外加一个反方向的东埔山,六点差五分,我们回到了东埔山庄,热腾腾的饭菜正在锅里等着我们呢!不仅如此,整个山庄里充满了沸腾的登山客,完全颠覆了中午我们来时的冷清,让你情不自禁地融进这里,跟着大家一起情绪高涨起来。

我把我们坐的桌子告诉了接待我们的这位老板娘(好像是她负责,就暂且这么叫吧),她就端来了两个分隔好的快餐盘,里面有两素两荤再加一个desert,另外一大碗红烧萝卜炖肉。

我去拿了一次性筷子,盛了米饭,还有另外大锅里的汤,我们一人一份。“我们先好好吃饭吧,米饭、三鲜汤(有肉圆、虾圆、鱼圆什么的,加上萝卜)无限量供应,吃完饭,我就去收集信息,然后向你汇报。” 我这样对博士说。

“好。” 博士正吃得香,立马就答应了,还没忘了加一句,“ Try to get as much as you can.”

2017.07.14 Two of us climbed XueShan (雪山), 2nd tallest peak in Taiwan.

It is the second highest mountain in Taiwan and in East Asia, at 3,886 m (12,749 ft) above sea level. It is located in the Shei-Pa National Park and it is visible in good weather from hills near Taiwan's capital Taipei.

Xueshan (雪山 3,886 m) - contd.

After getting park permits, one needs to get police clearance on all of them - Taiwan's outdoors permit process is not easy. So when Vera went to a police station, the officer on duty looked down at Vera, who is very short, and a regular reaction followed "Do you have a guide?". Little did he know that Vera has climbed so far 60 peaks above 3,000 meters, 20 of them higher than 4,000 meters, many of them much more technical than class 1 (Xueshan standard) all without guides. Well this is always fun part of our trips, (at least for me), you can't change it I guess. 8)

Xueshan (雪山 3,886 m) - contd.

We arrived at Taiwan's Shei-Pa National Park with four park permits to clear. A police officer on duty, seeing we wanted to climb four 3,000m peaks in four days said to Vera "No one is doing what you are going to do: so many peaks in so short time". He obviously has seen a lot of permits before. Well, so far (as of Jul-16) we climbed four 3,000m peaks in two days, ~22km distance, ~2,200m elevation gain each day.  Leaving for yet another great day out. 8)

单攻 is used by Taiwanese hikers for single day trips, bypassing alpine huts. It is not unusual to be more than 20km return with 2,000 elevation gain. 单攻 hikers are sometimes referred at 神人。 有意思哦! 8)

Taiwan's backcountry can be roughly divided into three major types:

1. Urban hikes. Low peaks at sea level, maintained trails with good public transportation access. Trails of Taipei and GaoXiong are good examples.
2. Jungle hiking - NOT for everybody. Peaks up to 2,000m. Expect 30℃ heat and 100% humidity. Unmaintained or semi-maintained trails. Taroko National Park has quite a few of those.
3. Alpine hiking - peaks above 3,000m. Much like The High Sierra in the U.S. YuShan and Shei-Pa National Parks are very good.

There are at least three categories of Taiwanese outdoors:

轻装 - easy day-hikes. Or guided backpacking - the commercial guides will  carry your stuff and cook food for you.
重装 - multi-day backpacking (tent or hut)
单攻 - day hikes often with the same objectives as  重装.

Our preferred style in Taiwan was Alpine 单攻, 20+ km return, with 2,000+ m elevation gain. 8)

[分享] 雪山(1)

雪山,3886m,台湾的第二高峰,登山的基本参数如下:
-- 单程10.9km
-- 拔高很高,不少于2000m(难于玉山)
-- 2.0km 七卡山庄(2463m),7.0km 三六九山庄(3100m),免费,但需事先申请床位(都有编号)
-- 除了七卡山庄前的场地可以搭帐,其他trail沿线都不允许露营
-- 必须有入园证、入山证才可通过登山口(至少提前7天申请)

登雪山所面临的人为困难(如果你不开车):
-- TH在武陵农场里(海拔近2000m),雪霸公园的园桩在农场内(我们交的是入场费NT160/人,不是入园费)
-- 坐大巴只能到武陵农场的游客中心
-- 游客中心到TH,近9km
-- 游客中心到办登山证的警察小队,1km
-- 游客中心到露营区,一路上坡,约6km
-- 农场的游览车,每天只有两班(0830+1430),可以经过露营区(但是我们都赶不上这个点)
-- 我们在爬山的前一天和爬山的当天,这两晚必须住在武陵农场

尽管有上述种种不便,因为雪山离台北最近,我们还是决定先去拜访。除去博士提及的时差适应期,在温哥华的时候,我就申请了20号的雪山单攻,并且订好了6月19、20两天武陵农场的营地(B区空中帐篷,NT1300/晚,真不便宜),也预付了订金。谁知,雨中的台北欢迎了我们,随后的一个星期每天都是雨,雪山之事自然也就不了了之。引用博士的话,“这样的天气去爬山?Forget it!” 再一看,cancel的规定一大堆,也收不回来几个钱,还要填表什么的,算了吧,雪山的第一次就这样吹了。

玉山之后,本来对申请之繁琐极为头疼的博士突然又来了兴致,一道令下“try to get all permits you can",我在后面就忙得一头雾水:其中包括了7月7号的雪山。6号我们把背包外的行李留在了罗东的酒店(回程还得来取),坐了一天只有两班的大巴来到了武陵农场,下车后,背着重重的背包,此后只能步行,先去办登山证(玉山管理处就很好,这些部门的地点都在一起),再一直走到营区,真的山还没爬,人就累得够呛。下午去看了登山口,算是有点认识。第二天早晨,飘起了雨,不过倒是观看到猴子们在他人搭的餐厅帐篷里窜来窜去的好戏。博士看了又看,想了又想,不行,这样的天气没有保证,他的直觉告诉他不是爬雪山的好时机,那结果怎样?离开呗!不过这第二次,我们可是花了不小的代价,但是对登山条件有高要求的博士还是取消了它。(小插曲:我们被告知,以前的订金居然还可以100%用!真意外!)

经过了这灰溜溜的第二次,我真的以为再也不会来武陵了,因为代价太大了:交通烦,住得又贵,还有繁琐的申请,加上不定的天气,谁能保证下一次是怎样呢?此后,便把雪山抛到了脑后,尽情地享受其花莲八天八夜的“夏恋嘉年华”来。可是,还是按照博士的要求,不厌其烦地(其实我很烦,但是该做的硬着头皮也得做)第三次申请了雪山(包括了周边武陵四秀里的品田、池有、桃山),并且即便重复了日期,也申请了其他的山作为备份,我们现在已超有经验,决定多处申请,到时候看哪个地区的天气好,就去哪里,不好的就取消,这样登山的机会自然就高很多。果然,博士的妙计获得极大的成功,终于,我们14、15、16的许可证都批了,7月13号,我们第二次来到了武陵农场。

雪山,14号,我们终于顺利登上了雪山主峰,台湾人称之为“雪主”!

Xueshan (雪山 3,886m) as seen from the summit of Mt. Tao (桃山 3,325 m).  这里看得见三六九山庄。It is quite possible to traverse from here to there, which could be a nice project on its own. We covered the ridge only in three parts (Xueshan - Beilengjiao, Mount Tao-Mount Chihyou and Kanlantekun North Peak - Kanlantekun Mt., 高山单攻方式)8)

Tip: most accurate weather forecast

Rain and thunderstorms can happen quite suddenly -  on Yushan it took only 20 minutes to change from sunny to a horrendous downpour with dramatic lightning. During this you don't want to be on or near a mountain ridge. That's why accurate last-minute weather forecast is really important. We found that Taiwanese governemnt provides most accurate forecast for major alpine peaks:  (http://www.cwb.gov.tw/V7/forecast/entertainment/other/D078.htm). Most inaccurate was mountain-forecast.com .

Vera once questioned me if she is not a client on guided trips: "You always lead and I always follow".  After climbing more than 200 peaks together, she apparently didn't realize (yet) the difference between a climbing partner and a commercial client. Even after we both have seen a number of times what the commercial guides do (feel really sorry for them): on Mt. Rainier carrying client's huge backpacks and even pull down those people who can't walk anymore from the summit. Well, the difference is quite obvious after being pointed out. In fact she contributes as much to our trips - I don't read trip reports anymore and even remember actual altitudes, and I don't arrange ground logistics (permits, transportation and hotels) - all is done by Vera. Guess, who is cooking breakfast every morning and who sleeps in (tip: there are no guides to do that). On a more serious note, she was the one who saved us from serious trouble on the 6th pitch of The Grand Wall, not mentioning other incidents (leading Elephant Butte crux, etc.) 8)

[分享] 雪山(2)

武陵农场露营区:因为没有车,限制了我们能带的行李,考虑再三,最后决定不带帐篷、炉子等和露营有关的装备,除了睡垫之外(博士很会享受,去海边什么的都得带着它,倒不嫌它占体积)。我呢,虽然排云山庄和武陵露营区可以租,还是带了一个睡袋。这样,在事先预定时,我们只能订B区的空中帐篷(内有厚厚的睡垫),面积不小,我看别人一家四口来度假,都完全够。B区旁就是孩子的playground,大大的公共shelter(不少人把餐具等夜里也留在这里的餐台上),紧挨着露营区的办公室(工作时间0700-2130)。六间浴室,除了一间24/7,其他的热水到10pm。无限制的开水供应,周末有音乐歌舞表演,还有简单的食物等(粽子和笋肉包很好吃),也出售一些方便面、罐头、八宝粥、饼干之类的,冰柜里还有冷饮等,价格和温哥华的差不多。一句话,反正不会饿着的!(对我来说,这是极重要的)

临走前一天才看到博士的GPS上显示,我们的帐篷处在海拔1943m,而雪山3886m,不算其间的上上下下,拔高已超过了1900m,连着三天,每天肯定都超过了2000m,便开玩笑地说博士这在挑战我的极限呢。他呢,倒好,第二天总是说,哦,好像昨天什么也没发生啊,腿一点也不累啊,让你听得五味俱全。在花莲的音乐会上,听到了鼓鼓的歌词“你嫌我太帅 sorry 那是天生/ 你说我太跩 sorry 那是天生”,活学活用的博士这下可真的Li-Hi了,把这句给用得炉火纯青。你怎么一点也不累呢?“不好意思,我是天生的。” 你的膝盖没感觉吗?“Sorry,天生的。” 他们都在说你好帅喔,“哦噢,那也是天生的。” 听得你哭笑不得。(有这么个活宝一起旅行,一路上笑死你)

我们的三张许可证分别是14号的桃山、15号的池有和品田、16号的雪山,其实雪山才是我们的主要目标,这武陵四秀是因为在同一个大区域,纯属顺带(虽然TH都不一样)。到了14号的早晨,博士决定趁着天气好,先登雪山。我知道,这对尽力遵守规章的博士来说,一定是纠结了一番的。而警察小队为了省事,给的入山证把14-16三天连在了一起开了,所以我不太紧张。六点整,我们共准备了5L电解质水,离开了营地,去约3km外的登山口(沿着马路一直上坡),到了登山口,工作人员还没上班,博士还担心会有人检查我们的许可证,叫我速速通过,连TH处的official pic都是匆匆一带而过。后来,经过七卡、三六九时,我们也以为有ranger会检查,都不敢进去看一看。其实,一路无事,这是后话。

入山后,2km到2463m的七卡山庄,很多山友聚在庄前聊天,孩子们跑来跑去,我们还见到了前一天下车后碰到的一家四口,他们是计划四天三夜登雪山的(Day1. 七卡,Day2. 三六九,Day3. 登顶后回住三六九, Day 4. 下山),果然后来16号我们又在三六九相遇了。trail上很多台阶,枕木的、石块的不一。4km处,开始300m的“Crying Slope”,中英双语的牌子上写着“ 哭坡”,这和Shasta的Misery Hill一个意思,不过是初级的,你还没觉得怎样呢,就已经过了,小case。

在去主峰的路上,5km处是雪山的东峰(离主峰还有5.9km),3201m,也是台湾百岳之一,我们当然要上!这里到2km外的3100m的369山庄,下降100m。下多少就得再上多少,就认了吧,想爬山,这样的事实在太平常。过了369,进入黑森林,尽是参天大树,很是壮观。接下来就是当地人称的“圈谷”,上面就是主峰了。我们一路超过看到的每支队伍,没有遇到一个单攻的,不少是从369到主峰再下到翠池露营(alpine lake,旁边也有山屋)。别人一问,博士就现学现卖“我们是单攻”,人家就啧啧赞他“真神”。我们站在雪山之巅,正准备拍合影,有个去翠池露营的女士上来,大声嚷嚷着要替我们拍,还一张接一张,她的热情之高,我都不好意思喊停。后来她也学着博士来个平衡,她的风趣和豪情,一看就是爱山之人。真巧啊,16号我们上山的时候又见到了她,她很有成就地告诉我们,她重装回来了!(Li-Hi!)

站在主峰的我们,已经马不停蹄地走了6个小时,拔高也过了2000,可是,远处的云正往这儿赶(我们发现这里午后的天气就会这样,而且速度极快)。累吗?我当然有些累。休息吗?不行。我得跟着博士继续,我们还要争分夺秒地在天气变了之前去主峰北边的紧邻:3880m的北棱角山!这就是博士为今天设计的一日三峰,跟在后面的我,可不能做虎头蛇尾的事!精神还在,激情依旧,很快,我们见到了北棱角的三角点的基石!写到这里,上网看了,一看吓一跳,被我们顺手收进囊中的它竟然是台湾的第三高峰!开心!!
