What should tourists pay attention to when walking in the mountains?
It is easy for tourists to get lost when walking in the mountains. In order to avoid getting lost, save energy, and improve the speed of travel, it is necessary to follow the principle of not going through the woods and mountains when there is a road, and not taking the path and taking the main road. If there is no road, you can choose to travel on the longitudinal ridge, ridge, mountainside, edge of rivers and streams, as well as the terrain with high trees, sparse forests, large gaps and sparse grass.
Do not walk in deep ravines and deep canyons, where grass is luxuriant and vines and bamboos are intertwined. It is just the so-called "walk in the beam, not in the ditch, not in the vertical, not in the horizontal".
In addition, when traveling, we will increase the stride length, and walk in three steps and two steps at a time. After tens of kilometers, we can take many steps less and save a lot of physical strength. When you are tired, you should relax and walk slowly as a rest, instead of stopping. If you stand for one minute, you can walk several tens of meters slowly.
When walking in the mountains, we often encounter various rock slopes and cliffs. Therefore, rock climbing is the basic skill of mountaineering. Before climbing rocks, carefully observe the rocks, carefully identify the quality and weathering degree of rocks, and then determine the climbing direction and route. The most basic method of rock climbing is the "three-point fixation" method, which requires that the climber's hands and feet can cooperate well. After two hands and one foot or two feet and one hand are fixed, move another point to gradually increase the body weight. When using this method, it is necessary to prevent jumping and advancing, and avoid moving two points at the same time. It must be stable, light, and fast. According to your own situation, choose the most appropriate distance and the most stable fulcrum, and do not stride, grasp, or pedal too far.
Grass slope and gravel slope are the most widely distributed landforms among mountains. Especially in the mountains below 3000 meters above sea level, except for cliffs, most of them are grass slopes and gravel slopes. You can climb the hillside below 30 degrees in a straight line. The body leans forward slightly, the soles of the feet touch the ground, the knees are bent, the feet are splayed, and you should never step too big or too fast. When the slope is greater than 30 degrees, it is more difficult to climb with this method. The zigzag ascending method shall be adopted for climbing such rock slopes. That is to say, follow the zigzag route to advance horizontally and diagonally. When climbing, the legs are slightly bent, the upper body leans forward, the inner tiptoe is forward, the whole foot touches the ground, and the outer tiptoe is slightly turned outward. When passing through the grass slope, be careful not to grab the trees and climb the grass, so as not to pull them off and make people fall. When traveling on the gravel slope, special attention shall be paid to firm feet and light foot lifting to avoid gravel rolling. In case of carelessly sliding, you should immediately face the hillside, open your arms, straighten your legs (tiptoe cocks up), and move your body's center of gravity as far as possible to reduce the sliding speed. In this way, you can try to find climbing and support during sliding. On the contrary, never sit facing out, because it will not only slide faster, but also roll easily on steep slopes.
