May 14, 2018, Mr Xia boyu, reached the top of Mount Everest. This was a legendary as Mr Xia just has so many stories.70 years old, he is so far the eldest man getting to the top of Everest. More surprisingly, he is disabled. 43 years ago, he lost his legs as to help his teammate when they were on a climb to Mount Everest. After that, he also suffered cancer and several operations. It is very difficult for me to imagine how strong this man is! May 13, 2016, he was 94 meters from the mount and was forced back due to a strong wind.
April 20, 2018, a Canadian photographer from Banff, took some photos of aurora in Athabasca Glacier. He was with other 2 climbers who went to this famous glacier and they were very lucky to see this unusual beauty. It was like a fairy tale scene, mysterious and charming
January 20, 2015, The American young man Todd Wills paddles a kayak in the Nujiang River Canyon. He fell from a fast waterfall which drops 9 meters right down to the canyon. It was very thrilling and challenging for most of us and some people say:” just looking at it makes you shiver”.Todd Wills, 22 years old, has been a great fan of paddling kayaks and he is very professional. He has won many awards and also teaches people who are interested in trying these things.
Mount Xianzhu, a favorite place for mountaineers, is famous for its steepness and height. This time it was our climbing goal. 120 meters was really a challenging climb!As usual, we fully learnt the local geology and weather and carefully checked our climbing gear and safety equipment including ascending/descending devices, carabiners, ropes and helmets which are extremely important for a successful and safe outdoor activity.Looking up at the foot of this mount, we felt it was so high and we were so tiny. Nature is great indeed. Facing a mountain, all you can do is climb and so we did this. Inch by inch, we reached the top. There is no give up when climbing otherwise you fall hard. We enjoyed the beautiful views. The trees, animals, clouds, wind, water drops, all those were so much more interesting.We are definitely doing this again sometime.
