Tangla angqu peak

Tangla angqu peak

Tangla angqu peak, 6330 meters above sea level, is located in the middle of Nyainqentanglha mountain range. It means "Sutra master of Nyainqentanglha" in Tibetan. Because the tangla angqu peak is located in the hinterland of the mainland, the barrier function of Nyainqentanglha mountains blocks the cold current in the northwest and the warm current in the Indian Ocean, which basically belongs to the semi-arid continental climate, with annual precipitation between 200-400mm.

General introduction

Local people also call it "tanglabao". There is a river on the south side of Tanggula Mountain called "angqu", so people call this place "tanglaangqu". It is 90.6 degrees east longitude and 30.4 degrees north latitude. Located in Dangxiong County, Tibet Autonomous Region, China. From the peak, you can see namcuo lake, many peaks of Nyainqentanglha mountains.

climatic conditions

From mid May to mid September every year is the rainy season in this area, during which 80-90% of the annual precipitation is concentrated, and snow disasters often occur in spring.

As tanglaangqu peak is close to Namtso, one of the three "holy lakes" in Tibet, the weather is greatly affected by the lake. The weather is changeable and complex every day, and there are often showers, hail, thunderstorms, lightning and other weather phenomena in a day.

traffic

Tanglaangqu peak is only 128 kilometers away from Lhasa, and it takes less than 3 hours to reach the transition camp. From the transition camp to the base camp, there are mostly alpine meadows and river valleys, so the transportation is very convenient. Moreover, the mountain has gentle slopes and clear routes, so it is suitable for beginners to climb or as a climbing training base.

Starting from Lhasa, you can drive along the Qinghai Tibet highway through Yangbajing, leave the Qinghai Tibet highway at the "monument to the 50th anniversary of the completion and opening of the Qinghai Tibet highway", and drive along the simple highway for 15 minutes to reach the transition camp of tangla angqu peak. Jeeps, trucks, minibuses and even minivans can drive directly to the transition camp.

Climbing difficulty and characteristics

Since the third Tibet Mountaineering conference in October 2003, many mountaineering teams failed to reach the summit due to many cracks on the mountaineering route. It was not until May 2005 that the Shenzhen snow line outdoor team reached the summit.

(1) About the technical difficulty of the whole climbing route of tangla angqu peak. Now all the data are considered to be primary. Of course, these data were before October 2003, after which many cracks appeared, especially the existence of two 1.5m large cracks. This view is questionable. As far as the current mountain situation is concerned, the Shenzhen snow line outdoor team thinks that the overall difficulty of this mountain is similar to that of Ningjin anti sand; one of our coaches, teacher pingcuo, thinks that the overall difficulty is more difficult than the northern slope of yuzhufeng. We believe that the difficulty of this mountain should be an important transition for a climber from the entry level to the advanced level. Here, I would like to discuss with you.

(2) Generally speaking, the whole climbing route of tangla angqu mountain is not very steep, only the section near the peak is relatively steep, and there is almost no risk of ice and snow avalanche. Basically, they walk on the ridge, and there are few places to cross back and forth, which has high safety. However, there are many ice cracks. Small cracks can be crossed, but to insert road signs, large cracks need to set up road ropes and metal ladders (or detour).

(3) The team members need to have good mountain adaptability, solid climbing skills, abundant physical reserves, and strong perseverance and confidence.

Tibet Mountaineering comprehensive training school trained at the peak in November 2001 and climbed the peak for the first time.
