[Climbing the Peak of Siguniang Snow Mountain] Six-Day Pilgrimage | Touching the Height of the Soul in the Clouds⛰️

🗻 Day 1: Gathering in Chengdu, Setting Sail on a Mountain Dream
Packed our bags amidst the aroma of tea in Jinguancheng
Meeting our companions for the next six days
Checking every detail of our ice axes, headlamps, and jackets
"We will witness each other's climbs together."

🌄 Day 2: After the Journey to Shushan
Crossing the sea of clouds on Balan Mountain, we caught our first glimpse of the Four Girls at Maobi Bridge. Finally, we restocked our supplies in Rilong Town, listening to our guide describe the temper of the snowy mountains.
"At 3,200 meters, I heard my heartbeat quicken for the snowy mountains."

🌲 Day 3: Hiking in Haizigou, heading towards Base Camp
The sound of caravan bells awakened the primeval forest, and we traversed trails draped with lichen. Looking back from Chaoshanping, Yaomei Peak danced in the clouds. In the stone hut at Base Camp, we learned the wisdom of coping with headaches.
"Tonight, at 4,300 meters, I learned to breathe like the mountains."

⛺ Day 4: The night of the summit push, dancing with the stars.
Awake at 2 a.m., the beam of my headlamp piercing the silence.
Following the crampon marks of those who came before me, I carved my own rhythm on the glacier.
Every step was a conversation with my heart, every breath carried the warmth of the snow.
"At the summit of the Slope of Despair, I saw the first ray of light pierce the sky."

🏔️ Day 5: Standing at 5,025 meters, embracing myself.
Touching the prayer flags at the summit, letting the wind horse flag brush against my cheek.
Offering a khata to this pure land, my eyes inexplicably moistened.
Looking back on my descent, I couldn't believe I'd even been there.
"It turns out I wasn't conquering the mountain, but meeting a new self."

🛖 Day 6: Returning with the mountain's blessing.
Reflecting on every step of the past six days in hot soup.
A goodbye hug from my guide, a promise to meet again on the next peak.
My phone is filled with photos, my heart holds the entire mountain range.
"Descending isn't the end, but the beginning of another climb."

📌 Climbing Notes:

· Follow a professional guide and respect the temperament of each mountain.
· Slow down on summit night and let your breath guide your steps.
· Remember to bring a thermos; hot water is your hope above the snow line.

"The mountain is silent, yet it gives us all the answers."

Record your summit moments on Trip Moment and let the snow-capped mountains witness your growth. ✨
