Mountaineering route

Southeast Ridge Route

Shanqianjin camp is divided into three camps along the southeast ridge, which is characterized by gentle slope, simple route and long route. In spring, there is less snow, more ice and rock mixed terrain, which is more dangerous, and the technical requirements of team members are higher; in autumn, there is deep snow and great physical consumption. The southeast ridge is suitable for autumn climbing

.

Northeast route

There are also three campsites, the mountain forward camp, through the North Peak glacier to the bottom of the north wall, directly climbing. There are many crevices in the glacier of Beifeng, and the route is more complex, but the March distance is shorter and the speed is faster than that of the southeast Ridge Route. Avalanche is easy to occur in some parts of the Northeast wall when the snow is deep. In spring, there is little snow, the suspended glacier is not developed, and the cracks are obvious, so it is easy to distinguish; in autumn, the snow is deep, the suspended glacier is developed, and the avalanche is easy to occur. The Northeast route is suitable for spring climbing.
