The first snow mountain in life

4.5

Introduction

The second peak in Siguniang Shan stands at a height of 5276 meters, and the entire journey from Haizigou in Rilong Town to the summit takes approximately 24 kilometers. Along the way, there is sufficient water source and no need to worry about water shortage. Additionally, there are no particularly dangerous sections on the entire route. The climate of the second peak is relatively stable, with six months from December to May being snowy and the other six from July to November being snow-free. Compared to other snow mountains, the snow line of the second peak is relatively short and the altitude is lower. Consequently, the threshold for climbing is not high, and a general level of physical fitness is sufficient to manage the challenge.
