June,30 Wedgemount Lake之行雪坡滑坠的惨痛教训

lulululu

NO EXCUSE，教训就是走这种雪坡冰镐必备。

Jerry下山不久，在雪坡滑坠了一段，在屁股撞击岩石后停住，Jerry当即臀部红肿，一路上靠老王的支撑，才走完全程。

流水帐：
*  一行七人（五人带有冰镐，Lin没有，Jerry一周前将自己的冰镐慷慨捐赠出去了）

*  我们上午十点开走，上行很顺利，四个多小时就到木屋了，雪线在近最后一段近三百米高的雪坡处（~1600m）.

*  到了木屋后稍做休息后大家便朝湖边冰川方向进发，找了一片安全的雪坡练习了近一个小时的冰镐的使用方法(self arrest)，Jerry因全棉的衣服湿透又没带冰镐，便换了Lin的衣服在木屋留守休息。

*  近五点钟时大家从木屋启程回返，在下到雪坡中段时，Jerry滑坠受伤，在大家关护下，特别是老王一路的支撑背负下，我们用了八个小时才下到停车场。

我判断的受误：
这条线在夏秋季我共走过四次，最后一段雪坡的trail是在坡的最左边近小树旁，行前我在CT问讯过，知道有人上周三,上周六走过，知道了那里雪线~1600m又下过些新雪。
我估计雪坡的trail上肯定有脚印，边上又有些小小树可以止滑拉扯。应该没有什么问题, 但等我们到了雪坡下，仅有的一些脚印都是从雪坡中间直上的，于是我们有冰镐的踢出深脚印让两个没有冰镐的队友跟上, 我还打算过走大Z字下行.....

我对队友们说过上登山课时老师教的一个没有冰镐情况下的止滑方法：在开始滑坠时，翻身面朝雪坡，仅以双肘双膝着地撑地(双肘双膝要分开)，将全身的重量放在这四个点上增加压力止滑...

无论如何，这些方法都是不能确保安全的，在这种情况下要安全就是要用冰镐。以后有这种雪坡的路线在我们的活动要求里要加上一条：冰镐必备!

在这里，我要感谢我所有的队友，靠大家的相互关爱，我们才度过难关，特别是老王，感谢！祝Jerry早日康复

我也要对我的失误向队友们道歉，我会吸取教训,让以后的活动更安全。

还要感谢其它朋友的关心，河童，老虎等朋友不放心我们，不断地打电话问讯，十二点多时在没有回音的情况下报了警，我们一点钟后下到停车场时，二位RCMP的警官正等着我们，在得知所有人安全到达后离去。一点多锺上了高速后我一打开手机就接到河童，老虎的电话，还有N条的留言，真是感动.让大家为我们担心了... :oops:

BTW:刚和Jerry通过电话，Jerry已看过医生拍过片，只有皮肉之苦没有筋骨之伤 :lol:

看到LuLu的介绍，觉得LuLu真是一位负责任的组织者，谢谢LuLu。

我们常出去玩，也会常常磕磕碰碰，摔倒是常有的事情，你再这里总结的好，上雪坡，一定带冰镐，这样一来就更安全了。

希望Jerry早点恢复，谢谢老王的援手，在山里，你这么做是我们的榜样和骄傲！

今年的气候太反常了：马上就进入七月竟然还有这么多雪，可以想像那陡斜见称的Wedgemount雪坡是个多么大的挑战。祝JERRY早日康复，为老王、LULU和队友们的互助合作鼓掌！

商场上的商程回味起来总是甜酸苦辣的刺激!

Hiking的旅程回味起来总是快慰得多!

[quote="游客"]这种地形是否应穿钉鞋？[quote]



冰爪主要用于硬雪陡坡或走冰川，我们用的很少，而且穿着冰爪下坡时建议脱掉冰爪，不然没有经验慌乱滑坠中（穿冰爪滑坠用冰镐止滑时要靠双膝代替脚的动作，脚往上），如果用冰爪撑着地，很容易造成骨折。

这次活动雪坡的雪况并不需要冰爪,冰镐足够了, 冰镐的使用很容易掌握的。

冰镐必备!  非常同意! Jerry 如果有冰镐并接受的LULU的仔细培训后就肯定不会有这次意外了.

非常高兴听到 Jerry没有筋骨之伤, 祝Jerry早日康复 !

下面是几张LULU培训大家用冰镐的照片. 非常感谢LULU教我们雪上求生必备之技.  :D

不好, 滑下去了.

小木屋共饮. 谢谢Jerry 的啤酒. 好几个月没喝啤酒了,好几年没喝budwiser了. 真香啊. :cheers:

问候一下jerry同志，感觉我们网站的同志集体观念还真是挺强的。
向LULU同志学习。
LULU什么时候再van我把对讲机给你。

准备入手冰镐，冬天活动，不然看着这景色，心痒痒。
周6在和枫下客hiking的时候看到一女士，在雪线穿冰爪，还劝了半天，主要雪太软了，伤爪，易下旋。

枫下客

1. LULU的自我批评很可贵; 分析原因、总结经验教训的做法值得提倡。
2. 贴子里关于防止滑坠的方法非常有用，谢谢分享。
3. 队伍的团结友爱精神很鼓舞人心。
4. 我们需要多一些“黄队长”，觉得危险时要把活动及时搅黄。

希望Jerry尽快康复，早日返回到HIKING的队伍中来。

慰问一下Jerry。这种路只穿雪鞋会有用吗？

七月的W.mt还如此多雪，看来今年爬山要多加注意了。祝愿伤者早日痊愈。lulu和各位同行者都是好样的。

Hi, All,
Sorry, my Chinese typing is terrible. So I have to use the 'foreign" language here.

What happened:

I used to live southern CA, LA and my hiking experience is to hike above 30-deg, hot weather. U would be fine as long as u have enough water. After I relocated to Seattle area last yr, we went to hike Camp Muir, half way to the summit of Mt Rainier. Which is about 3200m. We made it without any problem. Based on the above experiences, I thought I am "the most experienced hiker", better than anyone, even "better" than LuLu. (for sure, I am older than her, not better than her). Under this circumstance, I neglected LuLu's advice and acted as a careless cowboy.

Last Sat, when we went up the hill, we recognized the slope was at least 45-deg, even 60-deg, for the snow area. However, I still thought I was "untouchable". So when we came down, I had a free fall about 100 - 150m. I was not sure how fast the speed was, might be close to sound speed. My head was down 1st. When I saw a big rock on my way and my head was close to it, I used my skill from snow ski/ice skating to maneuver my body at the last moment. So my body collapsed with the rock. Instead of my head kissing the rock, but my left hip did.

For a very occasional reason last yr, I found our club from a Vancouver Chinese newspaper. We were impressed how good the leads/members of this club treated people. The very 1st hiking activity was with 老虎. From then on, we become loyal members of this club. As our lead, LuLu, always says "Up together and Down together". She and all others have kept their promise. Without them, I am sure I am still somewhere on that mountain now after 48 hrs! I really could not move down that 1000m by myself. There is no word I can describe what I say "THANK" to our hiking partners. Pals, I owe all of you a big one. Anything, anytime, I will accomplish whatever I can do for u.

特别是老王: Lau Wang, when do we go to the Mariners' game, against Yankees or Blue Jays? I will call u soon.

LuLu: "我也要对我的失误向队友们道歉". There is nothing u could do for it. It is nobody's fault but mine.

老虎的电话: I got the message u left in my cell phone when I got back home. Thanks for your concern, indeed.

冰镐必备! 200%. No ice axes, no snow hiking. Crampons are for hiking up and ice axes are for coming down. All leads must check this.

这种路只穿雪鞋会有用吗？No way. Do not dream u r as luck as I was.

祝Jerry早日康复: I am already in my office today. I really do not think the pain is that unbearable for me. Since my left hip and left up leg are still vary "fat", I have two problems now: 1. I can only facing-down sleep, no weight on my hip. 2. I cannot move up my left leg to put my sock on. So I have to hide my left bare foot (with shoe) under my desk. (Pls do not tell my boss I do not have my sock on for at least a few days.)

早日返回到HIKING的队伍中来。 I was told I should resign from our club since I broke our club's 100% safety record. .It sounds this is a debatable subject. So I discussed my future position in our club with LuLu. The conclusion is that she suspends my hiking license for one month and keeps my membership of FB team alive.

The bottomline is I do wish all of hikers learn from this incident. One day or another, u might face difficulty. Prepare in advance. Do not play as you are "winner" until u land safely. If anything has happened, do not lose ur mind and keep ur head up. Then u r the winner. Everyone makes mistakes here or there. The importance is how u become smarter afterwards.

Cheers

安归来就好，Jerry要自己打两个大耳括。不听话，尽惹祸。 :D
下次要听领导的话，否则不带你玩了。 :D

Jerry 上星期就把他的冰镐交给我了，是我还没及时交到领导手里。

Jerry 大哥没有伤及筋骨就好，慰问一下。祝早日康复，下次大家在一起练习走雪坡。

缓坡时雪鞋可以，陡坡就不行了。
走陡坡时，软雪用冰镐就可以了，硬雪需要冰爪。
现在这个季节，雪栽融化，不会很硬，有冰镐上下陡坡都应该可以。

希望Jerry早日康复，尽快返回Hiking队伍 :lol:  :lol:
