2007 Garibaldi Lake雪鞋冬季行(Jan 13)

lulululu

所有去Garibaldi的车在离开99 highway二百多米处就因深雪都在路边停下了，我们一行人是十点钟开始走的，从停车处到trailhead有二公里多，Lyda的体力差些，到了TH,她和Shawn不想影响大队速度坚持要求我们先行，于是爬手交给他们一个对讲机，我给了他们一些零食便开拔了，途中都是短暂歇息，到junction后，小白继续前行，其余人煮食热饮，我因坐姿不正导致大腿抽筋，而且没有好好放松休息就接着赶路，不久又在途中两度反复抽筋，伙伴们对我很照顾，我很快就恢复过来了(感谢!)。我们于三点钟左右到达湖边，本想在湖边木屋休息一下，但路经的两个木屋不是被雪埋了大半就是被封了（Black Tusk Ranger Station），我们站在木屋前简单地吃了些东西就返程了. 虽然Barrier Lake和Lesser Garibaldi Lake已冻结能够在湖面上穿行，但Garibaldi Lake还未完全冻结。我们途中遇上的两个俄罗斯滑雪者本想到湖对面冰川旁的Sphinx Hut住宿，行至湖面中途被迫退回。我们一路上与Lyda和Shawn用对讲机保持联系并于回程时赶上了他们（他俩未能走到湖边）。

此行的拔高一千多米，走了二十多公里(>23km)，于七点钟返回停车处，总共历时九个锺头, 大家的消耗不小.  这次又多了个深受钢管雪鞋之苦的伙伴－－Starlight，回到温哥华后，七人加上特意地为我们接风的小蜗牛MM在粥面馆大吃了一顿。

讀後感:
1. 拔高一千多米, 走了二十多公里,真的了不起
2. 看來下次報名要規定不能用钢管雪鞋
3. 感受過抽筋之苦,了解
4. Sphinx Hut住宿 (可住多少人? 有什麼設施?)

差点看成Starlight跳钢管舞 :wink:

4. Sphinx Hut住宿 (可住多少人? 有什麼設施?)

Burton (aka Sphinx) Hut:

Access:
No lock, no reservations, 5$ fee. The Burton Hut sleeps about 10 people comfortably.
Terrain:
Summer access requires walking around the Lake, usually via Black Tusk Meadows, over the Helm Glacier to Gentian Pass, and then bushwacking down from Gentian Pass to the hut. Mid winter access is generally straightforward. Ski / Snowshoe the well used trail up to Garibaldi Lake and then continue across the frozen lake to the hut (4km)

非常钦佩Lulu在这次活动中表现出的一名坚强的领队的素质。因为给大家烧茶送水而抽筋，还坚持带领大家爬到山顶湖边，不断和前后队伍保持联络，保证每个队员都及时都顺利回到Trail Head。

再很有感触地劝大家下次千万不要穿钢管雪鞋爬Garibalid Lake这样有很大拔高的Trail。至于穿钢管雪鞋跳钢管舞 - Maybe you can try!  :lol:

没有想到行程是如此的难，居然到最后几乎全体都有抽筋的感觉，只是程度不同而已，另外也感谢lulu在山顶来的热姜茶，估计没有喝的话，我在半途已经停下了。
送上一些照片，希望能解除一些hiking的疲乏

天气非常不错，只是太累了，累得连相机都懒得拿出来 :D。由于论坛图片显示原因，我用800*600都无法全显，不知道为什么。

Hey Gloria, thanks for organizing this hike. I have to say, you and your group have got to be the nicest, most gracious people to hike with!!

Ok now, for my experience on this Garibaldi Lake hike:

Lessons learned:

1: When you have not hiked in months do not go on long snowshoeing hikes.

I held Shawn back with my slow hiking and whining. We never made it to Garibaldi Lake (we made it to within 1km of it though!). It's been two days since then and I have been shuffling around cause I'm in pain!

2: When there is water in a plastic tube (the one to the platypus) exposed to freezing temperature, expect it to freeze.

I was unable to drink my 2 liters of water and had to steal some water off Shawn (slushy half frozen water in nalgene bottles)

3: walkie talkies rock!

Shawn and I were able to tell the rest of the group we were turning around and heading back down the mountain. We even used terms like "10 4" and "copy"!!

4: Hands + freezing temperature = a bad thing

I cannot have my hands outside a pair of gloves for more than 2 minutes unless I want them to freeze right up. I needed grip to eat my food so I had taken my gloves off for a few minutes..when I put the gloves back on, I experienced excrutiating pain as they "defrosted".

5: snow shoes with grip are good for steep and narrow trails.

I may not have been wearing the right kind of snow shoes for the terrain. I have the Atlas 825.

6: Chinese food = good!!

每次hiking，除了欣赏风景，更多体会的是温暖。无处不在。

太美的照片了,下次一定参加

爬手

好久没有走这么长的路, 好久没有这么精疲力尽, 快到湖边时已经是步履维艰, 两眼发黑了.  在STARLIGHT的"过把瘾就死"的决心的鼓励下, 在实现看一眼冬季的GARIBALDI LAKE的梦想的刺激下, 一直摇晃到了湖边, 已经感觉不到双腿的存在, 仿佛在浮动着.  对着自己神往的景象, 却竟然连回手进包里拿相机的力气都没有.  刚想站一会儿, 就感到寒风冷烈, 饥困交加.  只好赶紧躲进PARK RANGER SHELTER前面的小亭檐下进食休息, 为下山做好准备了.

回想起来, 这次LULU的姜茶对我来说, 简直就是仙丹, 否则在到达第一个小湖边之前, 我可能就已经不行了.  谢谢LULU了.

由于天气太冷, 我的相机在大部分时间里都不能正常工作, 只拍到了几张还算可以交作业的.

不是不想拍,而是因为天气太冷,实在不太情愿脱掉手套.

这周就可以来试试, 你就体会到了.  :wink:
