And all these achievements come from the unforgettable after the first meeting.
It was in the winter of 2010. I was obsessed with learning rock climbing and went to the climbing hall to practice every day. One day I went to the rock climbing hall as usual, but the boss planned to go to climb ice, so he took me to the ice climbing site as well.
is this unintentional move. I came into contact with this fresh sport, which is completely different from rock climbing.
I waved the ice axe selflessly and smashed it hard on the ice. Watching the broken ice flying around me, this different sense of destruction released the pressure in my heart.
In just one moment, I knew I was in love.

Since then, I have been immersed in the world of ice climbing. Every winter, I am either on the ice climbing site or on the way to ice climbing.
During the years I have been focusing on practicing ice climbing, I have also been crazy about some exaggerated climbing methods. But ice climbing is an extremely dangerous sport. I have experienced injuries and faced a crash.
When my body cannot control it, I realize that nothing is better than living.

Looking back at the past of ice climbing
Walking through countless ice climbing locations. The most unforgettable place I am in Huilonggou in Chengdu. I was the first person to climb ice climbing there.

At that time, I saw photos of people hiking by it online and were amazed.
even if it is just in the photo, its magnificent beauty still has a great impact on me. I am obsessed with it every day, but it was already March and the weather was warming up.

But after thinking about it, I still couldn't let it go.
So, he drove decisively. As a result, halfway through the climb, I found that the icicles had really started to melt and there was running water in the middle.
This is almost a fatal threat to ice climbing. At that time, I was really in a dilemma.
After a brief thought, I still gritted my teeth and climbed up. Now I think about it, I feel a lot of fear. After all, melting the ice will cause collapse to a large extent. In case...

For the future, I want to challenge the "Christmas Tree". This icicle located in the Taihang Mountains, which is as high as 115 meters, fills me with the desire to conquer.

In addition to this, I decided to free myself from the front line of ice climbing and turn to post-training.
Because now I am no longer a reckless boy. I am no longer just climbing ice by myself. I am just responsible for myself. I need to lead people and teams to climb ice by myself. I have to be responsible for the entire team.
Moreover, I have become more and more uncontrollable. There are too many uncontrollable factors and dangerous places. Some mistakes cannot be made, and some paths cannot be taken wrong.
So, I plan to pass on the knowledge I learned in the coaching training of the China Mountaineering Association and the ice climbing experience I have summarized over the years to other coaches and newcomers, so as to cultivate more talents for ice climbing.

Safe ice climbing is happiness.
Casio's encounter made me climb ice more calmly
Ice climbing is a sport that is not suitable for wearing anything, but the existence of the Casio PROTREK PRW-6100Y-1B watch has brought an important role to me.
First of all, the PROTREK PRW-6100Y-1B feels very good and is also very light in itself, and will not add any burden.
Secondly, PROTREK PRW-6100Y-1B has excellent functions.
outdoor work, I am not allowed to bring a lot of luggage, the Casio PROTREK PRW-6100Y-1B saved me a lot of tools.
For example, temperature is a very important factor for ice climbing. Ice below -10° is relatively hard and brittle, and is prone to breaking. Pay attention to pick-beating technology. The temperature is around 0°, and the ice is moderately soft and hard, so it is easier to use a pickaxe when climbing. When the temperature rises again, there is still a lot of running water on the ice surface, and the ice and rock wall have been separated. It is absolutely impossible to climb
At this time, I can directly hold the PROTREK PRW-6100Y-1B and record the temperature under the ice without having to carry a thermometer.
When climbing ice at high altitude, the Casio PROTREK PRW-6100Y-1B is also useful. It can read data on altitude and air pressure, which is more conducive to our judgment of environment and weather. The existence of
Casio PROTREK PRW-6100Y-1B has given me a lot of data reference and made me climb ice more calmly.
If you have to say something to ice climbing, I want to say, I will never regret choosing you.
