.I have been paying attention to the weather in Dongling for a long time. I saw the forecast of snow a week ago and considered safety factors to join the group. The team originally planned to cross to Jiangshui River, but turned back due to heavy fog and other conditions, and later the highway was unexpectedly closed on the return journey. I was well prepared personally, with warm babies and thermal blankets, and the waterproof performance of the new shoes was verified again. Keeping warm in high-cold areas is very important, bring waterproof storm jackets or raincoats, snow covers and ice claws are very useful for downhill, spare shoes and socks are useful for downhill.
