16:30, after the break, instead of going back to Danxi Village, I took the risk of climbing up the right side of the waterfall with my bare hands. During this period, the mountain road was very steep, with many places being 90 degrees vertical. Climbing up rocks, tree roots and vines was more than three times more difficult than the route we walked all day. Everyone's physical strength was about to be exhausted, and the two bottles of mineral water were also bottomed out. Everyone wanted to end this hike as soon as possible. They couldn't lift their legs, so they had to persist. After all, the team in front climbed faster and there were girls behind. Of course, the two of you and the whole team were much slower. When we climbed vertically up to 17:20, everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted. It was getting dark and almost everyone had entered the virgin forest. There were no roads left and right. There are also bushes going up the mountain, making it impossible to move forward. The peak of the mountain is visually very high. We only climbed 1/20 of the way up. We can't go further up the mountain. We can only open the road to the left and climb to the stream on the left. When we went down to the stream, it was also 90 degrees, and there were many thorns when we came down from the 20-meter-high cliff. In some places, there was no room to climb, which hindered us from going down to the stream. Finally arriving at the stream, I suddenly found that there were dense primeval forests on both sides. I couldn’t see the top of the mountain and I didn’t know the road ahead. It was getting dark and everyone started to get anxious. I would definitely be trapped in the primeval forest at night. I was also very worried. Panic, this is also the first time to follow such a team.
At 7:30, it was getting dark. I immediately found a rock in the middle of the stream and used the DJI drone I carried with me to fly up to explore the path. At first, there was no GPS signal within 20 meters of altitude and I entered attitude mode. There were woods on both sides. The plane had no sense of direction and kept flying back and forth. I immediately increased the throttle and ascended to a medium altitude. When I reached 50 meters, the GPS signal became stronger. At an altitude of 100 meters, I still couldn't see the top of the mountain. I continued to fly to an altitude of 350-450 meters. At that time, I hadn’t seen the top of the mountain yet, but at least I found that there were tea gardens on the top of the mountain on the left, and a winding mountain road driven by an excavator. There was also a mountain road on the right, but it looked like an abandoned mountain road, so I could only make a choice immediately, and first go along the stream. Go up a few hundred meters and then immediately climb straight up to the left. On the way along the stream, a female traveler slid down a few 2-3 meters from the rock face of the stream with water and then continued to slide down. She immediately called for help and was killed. The other leader and I stopped him in time, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous. Below is a small waterfall with a water level difference of 6-8 meters. There is no place to grab on the rocks. Fortunately, I was caught. I am really lucky. Continue along the stream to reach a large waterfall. I can't leave. I can only make a choice based on the drone footage. Along the stream, I can't see the end. I won't be able to walk to the road for 6-8 hours. On the right Above, there is a virgin forest on an abandoned mountain road. You must leave the Grand Canyon before dark. You can only go to the top of the mountain on the left. At least there are tea gardens and winding mountain roads over there. Then the team climbed up the virgin forest and bushes to the left mountain, a road that no one has ever developed. It was vertical and difficult to move forward. Everyone didn't know if they could reach the winding mountain road just photographed by the drone. Everyone was rushing forward as hard as they could and couldn't catch up with the rest. Many shrubs and weeds are taller than people. Although everyone is very tired, there is no way out. It will take at least 4-5 hours to reach Danxi Village and go up the mountain.
18:25, it got dark, and everyone finally saw a small section of the mountain road. We intuitively walked to the left and kept walking until we encountered a very narrow mountain road. Although it was not the road to the mountain, it felt like it was going out of the mountain. On the way, a phone call suddenly broke the panic and tranquility. It also made us more confident to walk out in the dark. It was an unknown brother calling. It was the owner of a local company who estimated that he had seen three people. The car was parked above the Lion Falls. I saw the number I left and contacted him. He confirmed on the phone whether we were still passing through the waterfall. It was very late and it was getting dark soon. I was very worried about the safety of the three people in our car. Since we We were not familiar with this place. There were no buildings around, so we couldn’t describe the location. We could only continue walking up the mountain road. My elder brother called us every 10 minutes to confirm that the situation was safe, and always reminded us to come out when it was dark, otherwise the weather would break. It was dark and we were stuck there. After adding WeChat and sharing the location, we discovered that our location was still very far away from the main road. You may not be able to get out to the roadside before dark.
time 6:46. The team is still halfway up the mountain, and no one knows how far ahead they are, so everyone has accelerated their walking speed.
During the hiking process, we kept track of the mysterious brother on WeChat in real time. The mysterious brother would pay attention to our progress every 10 minutes and always remind us to keep going forward and not stop.
18: At 56 minutes, we finally hiked along the mountain road to the tea garden. It was so late and we didn’t see any local people, only the herds of cattle. I felt frightened when we saw our group of uninvited guests. In fact, each of us is more frightened in our hearts. It is already dark, and we don’t know how far the cement road is ahead. Can we get out of the tea garden before dark?
19: We finally saw the concrete road around 10. We almost all rushed towards the cement road, feeling like we had finally rushed out. At this time, Mysterious Brother rode a motorcycle just in front of us based on the real-time WeChat positioning. At this time, it was still 3 kilometers away from the parking lot. Then another driver and I took Mysterious Brother's motorcycle to the parking lot to drive. The motorcycles were all taxied. Deng, after arriving at the parking lot, he immediately returned to the original place to pick up another driver to pick up the car. It took a lot of time to go back and forth like this, and finally we could go down the mountain and go home.
20:07 I finally got on the highway and could finally go back. We almost had to stay in the primeval forest to feed mosquitoes. From 16:30 to 19:10, it took nearly 3 hours to get out onto the cement road. I am very grateful to the mysterious brother for his real-time attention and correct guidance and for coming out to greet us. Otherwise, we would have been too fast Maybe not that soon. Secondly, luckily I brought a drone with me on this trip, which can fly to an altitude of 350-450 meters in the virgin forest to check whether there are buildings or mountain roads around. So that you don’t have to take the wrong path blindly and directionlessly. After all, if you make a mistake, you will definitely get lost in the mountains. This trip was too rushed and we didn’t start going back until 4:30. During the trip, there were novices and two girls. Next time we go out to play, we must go with someone who is familiar with the area or the leader. There is no one in the team who is familiar with this area. Don't follow them, otherwise you may get lost in the mountains if you are not careful. The time and itinerary must be arranged well. Prepare for the return trip at least before 3 o'clock. Do not bring novices with you during the itinerary. Prepare at least 2 bottles of mineral water for outdoor play, wear a safety helmet, and wear non-slip shoes when traveling. The backpack should not be too heavy and should not exceed 10 kilograms. If it contains valuable items, the zipper of the backpack must be knotted to prevent the backpack from being pulled open by branches and falling items. I don’t know when I will go outdoors again next time. I haven’t been out in almost 10 years. This time it really scared me. The difficulty level is three stars and it feels like five stars.
