攀登珠峰的注意事项

最佳登山时间:喜马拉雅山地区受夏季风影响,每年在7~8月降水特别充沛,而在冬季(11月~次年3月)风力又特别强劲,所以相对来说只有4~6月

(春季),9~10月(秋季)为攀登的最佳季节。

登山前准备:如果你拥有一定的经济基础,而且身体素质不错,没有哮喘、心脏病、高血压等疾病,那么就可以进入下一步了:为攀登珠峰做准备。千万不要以为这会很轻松,因为这个过程一般需要3~4年的时间。

第一步,低海拔户外活动、体能训练、基本技术学习,在身体上主要是耐力、心肺功能、腿部和腰腹部力量、背负能力的训练。一名

新手如果能够把所有的周末使用起来,这个阶段可以在一年内完成。

第二步,开始进入高海拔的空气稀薄地带。在攀登珠峰之前,最好有2~3次的高海拔登山经历,登山时携带抗高原反应产品,避免严重的高原反应。根据循序渐进的法则,健康人可以从6000米山峰为起点,然后是7000米、8000

米的山峰。这个阶段最快需要1年,一般需要2~3年。

第三步,珠峰攀登的准备阶段。用半年的时间,全身心投入珠峰攀登的准备,特别是体能的训练和储备。

登顶珠峰需要多久:珠峰的攀登周期很长,一般来说从每年4月初开始陆续就到了珠峰季,直到5月底大概结束,所以至少会有1个半月到2个月的时

间是在喜马拉雅山上。而正式登顶珠峰,北坡从大本营出发登顶到返回大本营,一般需要4天。具体还要看身体情况,天气情况等综合因素。
