Xiao Zhang, who doesn't want to go to work, went to Huapiling today

📍Address: East of Grassland Sky Road, Zhangjiakou, Hebei 🚘Transportation: Group tour or self-driving ⚠️Difficulty: About 300 meters of ascent, around 7 kilometers one way, not too difficult 👚Clothing: Quick-dry long sleeves, fleece, down jacket, shell jacket, waterproof pants, gloves, hat, scarf, mask (avoid pure cotton close to the skin, professional outdoor clothing is the warmest, merino wool is really great), outdoor high-top anti-slip shoes (ankle support) 🛼Gear: Trekking poles (very useful on slippery downhill), crampons (essential❗❗❗ recommend 10 or more teeth), gaiters (not worn today as the snow was light) 🖋️Notes: It snowed last Friday and hasn't snowed for a week since. Although I didn't see rime, it’s been a long time since I experienced such heavy snow❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️. This feeling of snowflakes falling is just amazing. The healing power of being wild outdoors is vividly realized at this moment🏔️ The wind was strong all the way, without a face mask I probably would have had facial paralysis🤦🏻‍♀️. I’m especially grateful for my sister’s trekking poles🦯, otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to get down this mountain🤔. I also brought a butt pad, but seeing others slide down too fast, it seemed a bit dangerous. There are many rocks below, and being so cautious, I ended up using the trekking poles to descend sideways. Another day of gaining a new understanding of the outdoors—the importance of the leader, the importance of gear, the importance of teamwork, blah blah blah. I enjoy every moment outdoors, learning how to be a good outdoor person. Tomorrow, Niuma returns to the battlefield, but I’m already looking forward to the next outdoor adventure🌄
