Tsinghua former captain of mountaineering: tell you the real mountaineering

Editor's note

The students' vacations have arrived and the weather has begun to heat. Another boom, called mountaineering, has continued to heat up. Peking University, Tsinghua University, Fudan's student mountaineering team traveled, and the national mountaineering team began their journey to climb the highest peak in Europe.

Mountaineering is a game for brave people. This is the first impression many people get from film and media languages. However, through a large number of interviews with reporters, we have also got such a second impression that mountaineering is a professional, technical, and highly systematic movement. The price paid for violating its laws is often human life.

We respect the choices of every mountaineering enthusiast, but in the face of the growing craze for mountaineering and commercial mountaineering with somewhat unbalanced speculation, we would like to adopt two special topics on mountaineering to let everyone have a deeper understanding of mountaineering. When faced with the temptation of "because the mountain is there", I can understand where "I am". For those who yearn for the summit, when you make a choice, you must understand that what you are facing is not just a game. You are not just stimulating. What you should not pay is life. The misty mountains are mysterious and romantic, and the other side is cold and dangerous.

The newspaper Beijing, July 6th

"Who is looking at the blue sky day and night?

Who is longing for a permanent dream,

Is there a song of praise,

Or it is as if it cannot be changed.

Oh, I see a mountain,

A seat mountain.

A mountain and a river are connected..."

College students' mountaineering is not a unique phenomenon in China. However, in China, the focus and problems plaguing college students' mountaineering activities are far more than those in other countries. Especially in recent years, there have been several incidents of university student mountaineering in China. Become a sensitive topic for a while. However, when the public generally holds the view that “College climbing is a kind of riskless adventure, which is irresponsible selfish behavior for family and society”, the competent authority does not support or even restrict the development of college students’ organized climbing. At the time of the event, what are their experiences, thoughts and opinions as a college student climbing enthusiast?

“Mountain training is full of monotony and hard work”

When it comes to mountaineering, reporter Wen Shiqiang, former leader of the mountaineering team at Tsinghua University, who was in front of the reporter, actually spoke for two hours. From the seven years ago, Wen Shiqiang had just entered the university gate to register for the Tsinghua Mountaineering Team.

"There are so many people signing up. There are hundreds of people. At that time, I didn't know much about mountaineering at all. Like most people think, I just feel curious and amusing."

Wen Shiqiang said that the registration of the climbing team is not a unique phenomenon in the past one or two years. The reporter learned from the school that as an important student club of Tsinghua University, the Shan Ye Association is a big hit every year, and the number of people registered in the peak year is in More than 500 people, this situation is more prominent in Peking University. However, after half a year of enrollment, the vast majority of students will withdraw from the selection process for newcomers for various reasons.

“Physical ability is the first level. After joining the new team of the mountaineering team, they start physical training three times a week for 4,000 meters to 6,000 meters. Many people gradually withdraw after training several times. After half a semester, physical training standards In addition to hard work, many people have to give up because they are boring, and therefore, they will be able to leave behind a very small number of students who meet both the body and the will. By the second semester, climbing techniques and mountaineering equipment will be used. Strength training programs such as strength training have been extensively included in the training schedule. Physical fitness standards have been increased to 12,000 meters each time, and they have begun to carry out zipper training and simulated mountaineering training. The year passed the test successfully and the only one allowed to join the team was me. The three students in the class.” Wen Shiqiang told reporters in particular that all these training standards were formulated according to the professional team members training standards of the China Boarding Association and accepted guidance from the China Boarding Association.

The first year of training allowed Wen Shiqiang to completely shatter the wonderful fantasies of the mountain climber. “A year's training came down and I gradually realized what it was like climbing. It was not as easy as anyone imagined, free and easy, but full of monotony. In addition, I also realized that the selection of the mountaineering team is not only a test of the body, but also a test of one's will.

In the summer of 1998, Wen Shiqiang, who was about to advance to second grade, was approved by the Tsinghua Mountaineering Team to participate in that year's mountaineering activities—climbing Zhangfeng Peak of Everest North Peak at 7,543 meters above sea level. “In the past, I always felt that the snow mountain was far away from him, thinking it was a professional. When people can climb, I only feel that the original snow-capped mountains are not so far away."

"No hero, only successful team"

However, Wen Shiqiang’s climbing plan was strongly opposed by parents. Since college students must have written consent from their parents for climbing activities, any parents must give up the climbing plan once the parents object. Wen Shiqiang said: “Each year, there will be a small number of players who cannot pass the parental barrier. Due to the Beishan Mountain accident, in the past two years, Tsinghua University has become increasingly resistant to student climbing. In most cases, it is difficult for parents. After changing my mind, I was quite good. After a year of persuasion, my parents agreed.” Wen Shiqiang said he had objectively introduced the climbing situation to his parents in order to minimize parents’ concerns about safety, and the most important thing was to show that. What I want to do and what I can do is, “I have had a rational understanding of mountaineering after a year of training. I have asked that the request for climbing is a result of careful consideration rather than an impulse. In addition, I hope my parents can support me to achieve My own ideal, this experience will make me use my life."

Regarding the notion that “College climbing is an inhospitable adventure and irresponsible to family and society”, Wen Shiqiang believes that this is a one-sided assumption that college students are climbing on the mountain. “College students’ climbing is not an inadvertent adventure. All our mountaineering The plan must be jointly recognized by the China Association and the school, and the mountain that will eventually be approved for climbing will meet our ability to climb.Secondly, mountaineering activities will greatly test the responsibility of college students and climbers will realize that they are more personal than ever. The importance of responsibilities and teamwork."

“In mountaineering activities, everyone is a part of the team. They must bear some responsibility, such as exploring the road, such as transporting supplies, which in itself is a test and exercise of the responsibility of college students.”

Wen Shiqiang recalled the experience of the first mountaineering in 1999: “The plan was to climb the main peak of Nyainqentanglha. Although I was participating in the activity for the first time, I was also duty-bound to undertake certain tasks for the team. At that time I Responsible for playing at the front station, carrying more than 7,000 yuan to Xining for the team's ticket to Ningqing, as well as trucks. At that time, there were 15 individuals in the team, each of whom had their own tasks. Failure to complete could result in changes to the climbing plan or even cancellation. Imagine if you have the hopes and beliefs of the team in your heart, can you not put responsibility first?

“When we went to the top and returned to school successfully, some classmates may be extraordinarily extravagant to us and call the ultimate team members heroes. In fact, we all know that there are no heroes, or no one is a hero. It's a collective behavior. Maybe only three or five players are really on the top, but other players won't regret it because a female member who cooks for us at the base camp may be a crucial role in our success.

“A lot of people asked me about the feeling of going to the top. There was actually nothing. At that time, the first thing I thought about was that for a few of our team members to finally reach the summit, many of the team members would be willing to spend more on exploring the road and transporting it to their families. The summit is the honor of the whole team, and at the same time you can feel the responsibility on your shoulders, and it is not only your own thing to be on the summit, you are shouldering the hope of the team, and the hope of those who cannot climb to the top. Can you have this kind of teamwork spirit? Do you think he will be a person who is unwilling or unable to take responsibility for society and family?"

"Some commercial sponsorships are actually traps."

"1999 was my first mountaineering, and that was also the most educational experience of the Tsinghua Mountaineering team."

From 1994 to 1998, the Tsinghua Mountaineering Team successfully achieved the peak of the scheduled mountain peak for the fifth consecutive year. However, in the main peak of Nyainqentanglha Mountain in 1999, Tsinghua players encountered trouble. “Because the preliminary materials were not sufficiently prepared, the old players in the team lacked the deterrent power they deserved, and they were too dependent on the guide during the climbing process. This led to unprecedented difficulties in climbing the main peak of Nyainqentanglha Mountain that year. The line, because of the dramatic changes in reality, has been impossible to implement, and the temporarily assigned one was rejected because it was too difficult. At that time, the team stayed at the base camp and watched a good weather but could not act. The morale of the entire team The rapid decline eventually caused some team members to complain and dissatisfaction. At this time, due to the fact that there were not many old players in the team and did not fully think of the preparatory plan, the mountaineering operation ended in failure.

"Through this lesson, the Tsinghua team knew that the team must guarantee a certain number and quality of the old players. Since 2000, the Chinese boarding association has also made it mandatory for the senior team members to account for more than 1/3 of the college team. We actually figured out this experience in advance."

Before the 2002 Great Northern Conference, the climbing team of colleges and universities had already seen a rising goal of climbing. This aspect was related to the expansion of self-confidence, and another important reason came from commercial sponsorship.

“As a student society organization, the sources of funding for the Tsinghua Mountaineering team are entirely self-financing. In the early stages of building the team, pulling sponsorship was very important but also very difficult to do. Some companies or companies are willing to sponsor, but they are required to At a certain height, they take a picture for them, which is actually a cover for the team. Whether the objective conditions permit or not, the team must attack the height. Perhaps it is uphold the strict school spirit, Tsinghua Mountaineering team from the beginning I refused to accept such sponsorship, but in the initial stage, it took a lot of effort for the team to pull sponsorship. Later we found that the method of alumni sponsorship is better. First, there is no demanding requirement for commercial sponsorship, and the second is the comparison of sponsorship sources. With stability, we are now able to achieve a basic budget of around 100,000 yuan each year. As a team player, we do not need to bear economic pressure."

Wen Shiqiang said that sponsorship is a common problem faced by colleges and universities. It is difficult to bear the high cost of climbing. However, not all college and mountaineering teams can receive consistent and stable support from Tsinghua University as alumni.

"Management is more conducive to safety than blocking."

“When I was young, I went to the real mountain!” This is when Wen Shiqiang first entered the Tsinghua Mountaineering Team. An old team member told him that the mountaineering originally belonged to young people. In our neighbors, Japan and South Korea, the university not only encourages students to use holiday climbing, but also specializes in logistics support and professional coaching. In Europe and the United States, college students’ climbing is also a very popular sport.

However, in China, college students still have some complexity in mountaineering.

Since the mountain accident of college students is an extremely serious incident in China, the most frightening thing for these mountaineers is that in the event of a mountain disaster, all college mountaineering teams were killed by a stick. “From an artificial point of view, college students have been involved in mountain climbing. The possibility has been limited to the minimum, from the selection of players to training, as well as the investigation of team members' will and moral character, as well as the equipment for climbing and the matching of new and old players. Now, the Association has stipulated that the college team must accept the association. With the guidance of the professional guides sent out, the danger of climbing for college students is actually very low. However, once something like the 2002 Beijing Beishan difficulty arises, it is still possible that the college team will be suspended.”

Although there was no point in suspending the training of colleges and universities, in China, after several mountain disasters, the university basically stopped approving the establishment of new mountaineering clubs. At present, only colleges and universities that have established students' mountaineering organizations are Peking University, Tsinghua University, Geological University, Beijing University of Technology, and Xiamen University. However, in fact, the students who have the desire to climb are not only limited to these colleges and universities. The reporter once interviewed Siguniang Mountain in Sichuan on the spot. At the peak of the most easily-climbed big girl, there are many university students in Sichuan and Chongqing who come here for their own climbing. There are also many college students who are also on the difficulty of the two girls peaks and three. The girl's peak is eager to try. Wen Shiqiang told reporters through his own feelings that mountaineering is in line with the needs and interests of young people and at the same time has a positive impact on the growth of young people. However, colleges and universities generally lack closely organized mountaineering groups such as Peking University and Tsinghua University, and students who want to climb the mountain will not go to the board because the school is not organized. This actually allows the vast majority of students to be blindly spontaneous. State, “We and other colleges and universities have hiking hobby students are also often in touch, in fact, many students hope that the education authorities can reconsider the appropriate release of colleges and universities mountaineering community, mountaineering team's approval work, because this formal student body It is the protection of the students themselves."

At the end of the interview, Wen Shiqiang told reporters: "Strict and orderly management is more conducive to the protection of security than blocking."
