Tough - Mt. Adams 南面登顶

USDA关于Mt. Adams 南面登顶的介绍，
The South Climb is considered a "non-technical" route, however, ice axes and crampons are recommended year-round. Follow Trail #183 across the intersection with Round-the-Mountain Trail #9, then continue to just below Crescent Glacier. Bearing to the left of Crescent Glacier, continue your ascent around the top of the glacier, and toward a large flat area know as the "Lunch Counter” (approximately 9000 feet elevation). From Lunch Counter, climb due north up the steep snow field or the talus ridge just west of the snowfield to the false summit also known as Pikers Peak (11,700 feet elevation).  Cross the intervening divide to the true summit, some 600 feet higher. Looking back occasionally on your way up from timberline to the summit helps minimize route confusion on your way down. The key to the descent is the re-crossing of Pikers Peak and bearing southeast below the Crescent Glacier.

3。GPS录入数据

停车场(trail head at Cold Springs Campground)海拔：5638 feet
宿营地(Lunch Counter)海拔：9068 feet
顶峰海拔：12199 feet
全程里程：上周四才收到GPS，不熟悉使用，未录下全程里程

4。行程感受
如天时（不下雨，刮风），地利（有下山雪道），人和（无高山反应），这条线应不是太难。但15日凌晨打雨点，上山刮大风（同伴的一句话，这风大的”ridiculous”，山顶根本无法停留）；下山（11000feet）时，大雾，被困20分钟（大约十人被困），幸亏一位滑雪者探明一条雪道，我们依次滑下，逃出生天。

原计划15日凌晨5点开始登顶，但领队14晚通过观察云层决定调整到3:30出发——事后证明他决策正确。宿营地附近另外两队皆因推迟出发（6:00AM——因风太大，14日晚无法入睡，其队员要求推迟出发），均未登顶。

同时，由于往返长途驾车，总体感觉还是颇为辛苦。

5。行程教训
5.1：负量，负量，负量!!! ——这次背包多一双Plastic Boots和Crampons(行程前不知可直接穿Plastic Boots Hiking——也不知穿Plastic Boots Hiking的滋味；所以穿一双Hiking Shoes，背一双Plastic Boots)；结果是在离开Trail Head头一迈几乎被压趴下。分两次扔掉相机脚架，炉具，一件套头衫，一件紧急救护衣。终于明白某位牛人所说“走长路，一张纸都是重的”——至理名言！

5.2：在山间行走，不应完全举一反三——走过几次Mt. Rainier的Camp Muir(大约海拔10050feet)，感觉短袖，短裤即行。生搬Camp Muir的经验到Mt. Adams，未带保暖衣物，结果14日晚冻的一夜未睡，15日无论再累，一路不敢停下歇息——感觉会被冻僵（在11000feet被困时感觉风从前胸穿进，后背穿出）。

6。行程所学
如穿Crampons，滑雪道时，一定应将其脱下，以免伤及前人。

7。行程疑问
7.1：如何装背包？Lululu上次教我如何系鞋带，此次用她教的方法，鞋带全程一次也未出现问题。但将Plastic Boots，Crampons，睡垫系于包外，全程晃荡，苦不堪言。望那位高手能指点一二。
7.2：几乎同样海拔，经纬度相隔不远的两座山（同样是冰川），气候为何相差如此之大？

8。行程趣事
8.1：上山扔物品时，用GPS记下数据（但并未抱希望找回）；下山时，奇迹发现所有物品均在原地——甚至套头衫和救护衣还被挂在路边显眼的树枝上！感概一句：喜欢Hiking的都是好人。立即招徕同行反驳：几周前，在I90的一条trail上，见一位hiker旁若无人，裸奔上山。
8.2：回程路上，一位未登顶的同行问途中有何故事；回答：走一步，走一步，再走一步，感觉半死不活时，你便在顶峰了。

这个问题我不是很清楚——不会滑雪。:(

看见有人把滑雪板扛上山——但未见人一路滑下来。同时，坐着滑下的雪道也极不舒服——很多碎石。如把Camp Muir的雪道比做5星级宾馆，Mt. Adams的雪道就是四川凉山州美姑县城旁的土墙小旅馆。:)

写得好，谢谢分享!

我觉得背包外挂不好，东西容易刮掉（有一些先例），而且有碍平衡即累也不安全。包买大些，尽量把东西放里面。

Packing Your Backpack
http://www.mec.ca/Main/content_t ... bmUID=1184714561567

Imagine that your pack is made up of three zones:

    *  Zone 1 – Put light items, like your sleeping bag, at the bottom.
    * Zone 2 – Pack heavy items, such as water, food, climbing gear, tent, etc. closest to your back. Use a sleeping pad or fleece as a buffer between sharp-cornered items and your spine.
    * Zone 3 – Place medium-weight or bulkier items toward the top or down the front of the pack.

Your objective is to avoid having a top-heavy pack, which will pull you backwards, or a bottom-heavy pack, which will make you feel like you are being dragged down. Packing heavier items close to your centre of gravity (middle of the back) will keep you balanced and make the load feel more natural.

Packing tips:

    * Distribute weight evenly between left and right sides.
    * Place frequently used items in an easy-to-access place, such as external pockets.
    * When hiking on easy terrain, pack heavy items a little higher for better posture.
    * On harder terrain, put heavy items lower down for better balance.
    * Stuff sacks allow you to quickly pack and unpack your gear and find what you need. The highly organized put each category of items (first aid, kitchen, etc.) in differently coloured bags. Try not to stuff the sacks full, as a little play makes them easier to squeeze into gaps.
    * Use your pots as hard metal stuff sacks to protect delicate items.
    * Pack your food above your fuel bottle, or place it on the outside.
    * Use your compression straps to bring the load closer to your body and keep everything in place.

我的crampon bag是别人送我的一个装镜头的软包, 也听说有人剪上一截牛仔裤管两头用牛皮筋扎起来装crampon，户外用品店也有专门的crampon bag卖，更好更轻. 比如

不同的天气，同样的地方气候也是不一样的。 :D

多谢！已打印出来，回家看看。

Crampons 和Plastic Boots都是周五才在Marmot 租的；Marmot的老兄花了2分钟教我如何系 Crampons；周日在山上居然帮另一位调整、穿上 Crampons！——以其昏昏，使人昭昭。:)

摘录登山圣经一书(Mountaineering:The freedom of the hills)里有关Crampon Fit的一段给你看 :lol:

Crampon Fit

It is critical that crampons fit boots perfectly. When you are purchasing crampons, bring your boots to the shop for a proper crampon fitting. If the crampons will be used on more than one pair of boots,check the fit on all pairs. Be sure to purchase crampons that match the intended usage.

Practice putting on the crampons while in the comfort of home. There will be plenty of opportunity to put them on under less-ideal conditions: by feel in dim light or in the limited illumination of a headlamp, fumbling with cold,numbed fingers


Tips For Fitting Crampons

* The crampon strap attachment posts at the front and rear should hug the boot snugly.  Test the fit by lifting the boot with the crampon.  The posts should hold to the boot without the use of straps.

* The welt on a boot is especially important with step-in bindings, which grip the boot at toe and heel.  Step-in bindings require well-defined grooves at the toe and heel on plastic and very stiff leather boots.

* The front crampon points should protrude 3/4 to 1 inch (2 to 2.5 centimeters) beyond the toe of the boot.

* If you will be wearing supergaiters with a rubber rand that fits around the rand and instep of the boot, be sure to wear the gaiters when fitting the crampons.

* In very cold conditions, most climbers wear overboots to help insulate their feet from the cold and snow.  As with supergaiteres, crampons must be fitted with the overboots on.  Make sure any attachment straps are long enough.
