brief introduction

Sangdankangsangxue mountain is famous for its many peaks on the northern Tibetan Plateau. It is one of the 25 highest peaks in Tibet, with an altitude of 6590 meters. Sangdankangsangxue mountain is located in Naqu, Tibet. From the plateau, you can see that the peak of sangdankangsang is shining in the sunshine. It seems that it is no longer cold, but full of warmth and kindness. In religion, she is regarded as one of the 25 fairyland residents. The God attached to this mountain is called "yechagangbusanbu", which is the God of Buddha protection with boundless power. Many mountains and lakes around her are her attendants. From the south, it looks like a king on a throne; from the west, it looks like a Silver Lion leaping into the sky; from the East, it looks like a crystal tower; from the north, it looks like a silver curtain.

The change of seasons

With the change of seasons, the peaks of sangdankang snow mountain show different colors: milk color in summer, silver color in winter, white and bright in spring and autumn. Balong temple in Balong Valley at the foot of the mountain is one of the four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. Many believers come to worship and offer incense every year. The Qinghai Tibet highway passes in front of this mountain, so it is not difficult for people to see it.

Geography and climate

Samdan kangsang, with an altitude of 6590 meters, is located in the middle of Nyainqentanglha mountains, 91.5 degrees east longitude and 30.9 degrees north latitude. It is located in Naqu, Tibet Autonomous Region. Although the mountain is affected by the microclimate of Namucuo, because it is located in the north of Tibet, the weather is better than that of nianqingshan in the south of Namucuo. The annual precipitation is 406 mm, and the climbing time is relatively sufficient.

Myths and legends

It is said that the name of the God attached to this mountain is "yechagang wasanbu", which is one of the 21 hermits in fairyland. This God has been entrusted by vajrayama Bodhisattva, master lianhuasheng, and Dharma Wangjiu, the patriarch of balonggaju, to be the God of Dharma protection with boundless power. According to legend, many mountains and lakes around the sangdankangsang peak are the servants of this God. The shape of these mountains is also very special, like the ministers around the king, all around the main peak. According to the legend, the order is: zhongcuoqiumo lake is the wife of gangwasanbu God, I am the concubine of matoogar lake, and paibo mountain and Bohm mountain are his prince and princess. In addition, there are jirizana mountain, bodyguard lagui Dongzi mountain, palace minister motuoxiga mountain, right-wing general choumo mountain, left-wing general Yana mountain, Tianlu pioneer kelongdazan mountain, Eastern general sangse mountain, Southern General Lana mountain, western general Sete mountain, Northern General zongre mountain, Mafu brother Guolong three mountains, cattle herding God mabuzsong mountain, sheep herding God agazan strange mountain, and so on; The gate guards Shendong Echu and the inner gate guards shenheigouyan. These legends are quoted from the smoke offering scriptures. There is a big ditch in front of sangdankangsang peak, called Balong valley. The upper valley is as spacious as a blooming lotus. The lower part is narrow and small.

In this valley, there is a Balong temple, which is the main temple of Balong Gaju, one of the four schools of Gaju. It was founded in the middle of the 12th century by balongba damawang, a disciple of tapolaj. Damawangjiu was the founder of balonggaju. There is a cave on the left in front of the temple, called qiongxuezazi. It is said that the cave was pointed out to him by Dharma Wangjiu's master taporaj. There are many natural caves under the rock ridge in the middle and lower part of the valley. These caves are the quiet rooms for monks in the temple during the peak fire season. During the Junggar incident in the modern history of Tibet, the temple was razed by the Junggar tribe and completely destroyed. However, these caves have never been interrupted by ascetic monks. Pilgrims who come here from all directions mainly pay homage to Wo CuO lake at the top of the valley and the practice cave at the mouth of the valley. The ditch to the north of it is called Lalong (meaning Shenxian ditch). The top of the ditch is connected with the ridge of sangdankangsang mountain. On the small hill at the foot of the mountain, people built an altar called Laron lakar. People often simmer mulberry in this stove to offer sacrifices to gods.

Mountaineering tips

Route

From the base camp up along the glacier, up the southeast ridge, along the ridge to the top.

Difficulty and characteristics

1. The climbing route of this mountain is obvious, and the slope is relatively slow. Our camp is at the height of 5200 meters, and the climbing height is 1500 meters, which is relatively short. This is very beneficial for climbing, but it also puts forward higher requirements for plateau adaptability. 2. The snow slope on the southeast ridge is relatively steep, about 30 degrees, which is one of the difficulties in climbing this peak.

3. The snow quality of the peak is relatively loose, and the snow depth in some areas may not reach the lower leg, which has certain requirements for physical strength. It should be noted that it is not suitable to climb the mountain immediately after the heavy snow, and it should be observed that the snow surface is relatively solid before climbing to avoid falling snow.

Climb Skills

Polar climbing. Build BC - build C1 - return BC - upper C1 - build C2 - Top - return C2, withdraw C2 - return C1, withdraw C1 - return BC, or directly return BC from C2. The advantages of this method: safe and reliable, long time cycle, easy to adapt to high altitude environment, high success rate. Disadvantages: higher requirements for equipment and increased load. A longer period of time on the team's physical and psychological pressure, consumables increase, high cost.

Climbing point

BC, about 5100 meters above sea level, is located on a beach on both sides of the river valley. The first half of bc-c1 route is river valley and gravel slope, so the upstream section should be selected to cross the river, because the downstream section is too deep to pass. After changing shoes at the end of the glacier, you can walk about 40 minutes to C1. The route is simple. It takes about 4 hours to march from BC to C1.

C1, about 5400m above sea level, is located on a snow slope above the glacier tongue. The route from C1 to C2 can be divided into three sections. The first section is a snow slope around the ice avalanche area, about 300 meters long, with a slope of 35-40 degrees. There is a risk of snowdrift after continuous heavy snow.

The second section has a flat terrain, which is a crack area, most of which are dark cracks with a width of 50-80cm. During road construction, the width of the cracks should be fully displayed, and the two footholds should be compacted for later generations to pass.

The most physically demanding slope is the snow slope below C2, with a slope of more than 50 degrees and a length of about 250 meters. There is also a risk of flowing snow. When the snow is less and the wind is strong, part of the road sections will show bright ice, which is very difficult and needs to be protected in the whole process. The march from C1 to C2 usually takes 7-8 hours. C2 is 6000 meters above sea level, not far above the snow slope, on a platform. There are several big cracks not far from C2, so you can bypass them. After turning over the ridge line, the slope begins to become steeper. The ridge is very sharp and steep on both sides. There is a bare rock about 100 meters away from the peak, which can be used to identify the direction when the visibility is not good.

Before climbing to the top, you need to climb over a snow eaves, and you can find two relatively close gaps. The top is a narrow ridge, basically East-West trend, and the north side is steeper than the south side. We must pay attention to protection after climbing the top.

Climbing history

Zeng dankang, a member of the Tibet team. In 2000, Peking University's shanyingshe group reached the top, Tsinghua mountaineering team reached the top in 2003, and Xiamen University's mountaineering team reached the top in 2005.

traffic

Sangdankangsang is close to the Qinghai Tibet highway. It is 100km away from Naqu Town, 70km away from Dangxiong and 180km away from Lhasa. A transition camp will be built in nabuzha or balindo, where cars can drive directly. Nabuzha is 10 kilometers away from the Qinghai Tibet highway, which takes 1-2 hours. It has convenient transportation, material transportation and external contact. Yaks are gathered from the transition camp, and a base camp is built up along yugkyung Qu to the end of the glacier (5200 meters). It is 3 hours' journey from the transition camp to the base camp.

purchase

Along the Qinghai Tibet line, Naqu, a big town in northern Tibet, is 100km to the north, and Dangxiong town is 70km to the south, with convenient transportation and abundant materials.

Climbing route

Part one: Lhasa - transitional camp (Gulu 16 Village) - mountaineering base camp (BC)

From Lhasa, go northward along the Qinghai Tibet line. After leaving Lhasa, go through Yangbajing and Dangxiong, and get off the highway at Gulu bridge. After crossing the river, go westward. Then go northward along sangrongshui River in sangdankang. Enter the valley from Gulu 16 village. This is the end where the car can go. A temporary camp (RC) can be set up here to rest for one day, gather yaks to form a transport team and transport to the base camp. The road from Gulu 16 village to the base camp is basically along the cattle Road on the hillside beside the river. It is a grassy slope of about 20-30 degrees. The altitude rises about 500 meters. It takes about 3 hours to climb all the way. The base camp is about 50 meters below the glacier in the south. It is far away from the river.

Part two: base camp C1

Due to the high temperature in summer, the end of the glacier is close to the mixed state of rock and ice, so the general climbing shoes can pass through, and a shoe changing place can be set at the place where the glacier is just on. The glacier tongue ends at an altitude of 5200 meters. Camp C1 is built on a flat platform 100 meters above the shoe changing place, from which the peak can be clearly seen. The section from base camp to C1 is mainly broken rock terrain, up to glacier
