Things to note when climbing a mountain

It is the season of spring flowers again. Many friends who like hiking will go out hiking during their rest time. It not only exercises the body, but also allows us to enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, which allows our tired nerves to relax and relieve after a week of hard work. In this joyful moment, we must not forget to not only prepare our equipment first, but also pay attention to the precautions for hiking and make adequate preparations for our own safety.

We know that we should consider the route of our trip before we go, so that we can have an overall plan for the trip. Don’t travel blindly. Many friends don’t understand the route and go just because others say so. There are many places for hiking that are divided by seasons. If you don’t go according to the season, you won’t be able to see many beautiful scenery, and it will also cause many inconveniences to your trip.

When climbing, please pay attention to the following points:

1 When going up the mountain, you should travel light and carry less luggage to avoid wasting too much energy and affecting your climbing.

2The climate in mountainous areas changes greatly, with sometimes sunny and sometimes rainy, which is unpredictable. You should bring a raincoat when hiking. It is not advisable to use an umbrella when it is raining and windy.

3. Do not climb to high places during thunderstorms, do not hold on to iron railings, and do not take shelter under trees to avoid being struck by lightning.

4 The temperature on the mountain is lower at night and in the early morning, so you should bring thicker clothes when going up the mountain.

5 It is advisable to wear hiking shoes, cloth shoes, or sneakers when climbing mountains. Leather shoes and plastic-soled shoes are prone to slipping. For safety, you can buy a bamboo stick or a walking stick when climbing mountains.

6 The mountain is high and the road is steep, so it is better to walk slowly when hiking and not too fast. You must be sure to "walk without looking at the scenery, and look at the scenery without walking". It is often dangerous to walk and look at the scenery at the same time.

7 When hiking in the mountains, you should travel with companions, take care of each other, and do not climb high or dangerous places alone.

8 When climbing, bend your body forward slightly and walk in a zigzag shape. This saves effort and is easy.

9 When going up the mountain, be sure to bring enough boiled water, drinks and necessary medicines to meet emergency needs.

10. When heavy rain falls in mountainous areas, mountain torrents come with great force and speed. It is not advisable to wash clothes or play in the river on the eve of the rain to avoid accidents.

11 When taking pictures on a high or dangerous mountain, the photographer should not move after choosing the angle, and should be especially careful not to step back to prevent accidents.

12 Never swim in a pool of water of unknown depth in the mountains. Even in summer, the water will be very cold and there is a high possibility of danger.

13 The mountaineering team should not be too long and should always keep in touch with each other. When descending, at least two people should go together to avoid acting alone, as accidents are most likely to occur when being left alone.

14 While walking, you should adjust your pace and breathing at any time, and you should not speed up or slow down suddenly. When drinking water, you should not drink too much, and keep the water bottle full at all times.

15 When hiking, it is best to follow the signposts left by predecessors to determine the direction, or follow the signs along the way; after dark, avoid walking in valleys or unfamiliar routes.

16 If you get lost, you should turn back to the original path, or find a shelter and wait for rescue; in addition to maintaining your physical strength, you should also calm your teammates and keep them calm.

17 During mountain climbing, you should pay attention to changes in your body and rest at appropriate times; if you feel unwell or injured, you should inform your companions in time.

18 When climbing, you should promote team spirit, pay attention to your companions along the way, and remind or help each other through dangerous areas.

19 Understand the potential dangers and countermeasures in mountain climbing. If an accident occurs, stay calm and try to contact the police or the people on duty.

20 Be careful when using fire and do not litter cigarette butts to avoid causing forest fires. (21) It is best to carry first aid medicines with you, such as Yunnan Baiyao, hemostatic bandages, etc., so that they can be used in case of falls, bruises, or sprains.

We all know the precautions for mountain climbing, but we must remind everyone not to climb wild mountains in sparsely populated areas. Many accidents are caused by this situation. It is also best to travel with companions when climbing, so that even if there are any accidents, everyone can take care of each other. I hope everyone has a wonderful trip.
