Explore Taibai Mountain with Leaves as Your Companion? The Northwest Division of the 2012 Lafuma Mountaineering Season Sets Sail

       In June, we scaled the main peak of Lingshan; in July, we admired Heaven Lake on Changbai Mountain. Following the leafy footprints of the first two stops, the wave of "Leaves as Your Companion"·2012 Lafuma Mountaineering Season will arrive at the Northwest Division in August, once again painting a splendid stroke on the "Leaf Map." This event is divided into four major divisions nationwide—North China, Northeast China, Northwest China, and Southwest China. Its innovative competition format, classic mountaineering routes, and attractive prizes have drawn numerous outdoor enthusiasts to participate. Every stop along the way has been exciting and unforgettable. As the third stop of this event, the Northwest Division will see event organizer Lafuma unveil the unique "ancient glacial leaves" of Taibai Mountain, exploring the most ancient natural footprints.

       After intense and exciting selections, the advancing participants of the Northwest Division will gather at the Taibai Mountain Scenic Area in Shaanxi on August 11-12 to compete on the mountain ridges. Over the course of two days, all advancing participants will jointly challenge the classic Taibai Mountain route—from Tangyu to Baxiantai—passing through Shangbansi, the Large and Small Wen Gong Temples, Dayehai, Erheyuan, and Sanheyuan, before finally reaching the summit of Baxiantai. Countless stunning sceneries will be embraced, showcasing the breathtaking beauty of Taibai Mountain. Here, participants can encounter the ancient and diverse relics of the Quaternary glaciers, admire the majestic scenery of Dayehai, and experience the rugged magnificence of the Baxiantai summit, leaving them refreshed and reluctant to leave.
       Additionally, this event uniquely incorporates a variety of colorful segments. The thrilling mid-weight ridge trekking race, the tender and romantic camping and singing activity—"Songs Invited Under the Leafy Sky," and the photography activity—"The Most Beautiful Leaf in My Eyes"—add a lighthearted, joyful, and humorous atmosphere to the event. Moreover, green environmental initiatives—such as the public welfare activity "Cherish Every Inch of Land"—will be carried out along the way, advocating for returning to nature and protecting the environment. These activities allow outdoor enthusiasts to not only enjoy the charm of the outdoors but also gain a deeper understanding of the true essence of outdoor sports.
