ISPOBeijing 2012Green FieldExclusive report, February 21, 2012:
Once upon a time, Medog was a sacred place so pristine that no one could even explore it. Now, this "lotus of Tibet" is gradually unveiling its mysterious veil. The question has shifted from "Can you make it back alive?" to "How can we protect its sacred secrets?" The 2012 sixth edition of the Gore-Tex Outdoor Dreams Come True campaign, aimed at fulfilling the dreams of outdoor enthusiasts, is in full swing, and the first monthly champion plan has just been unveiled.
The "Medog Environmental Protection Trek" plan has won the championship title in the Extraordinary Outdoor category. Leech zones, Tiger Mouth One-Line Sky, Ani Bridge… every spot is treacherous, yet nothing can stop the longing for this sacred land. According to statistics, about 1,800 to 2,000 people hike into Medog each year, and litter along the trail continues to increase. The "Medog Environmental Protection Trek" plan proposes to install relevant environmental protection signs and set up garbage disposal areas along the entire hiking route. It also aims to collect data on the Medog trail and produce signage to be posted at various hostels, reducing the risk of accidents. Its focus on environmental protection and strong emphasis on safety are innovative approaches to this well-established route.
The monthly champion plans in other categories all coincidentally incorporate reverence for historical civilization. Towering Mount Heyuan, dilapidated plank roads, and peculiar gullies and canyons form the breathtaking scenery featured in the monthly champion plan of the Hiking & Trekking category — "The Wolf Tower B Line Big Loop." The route’s initiator, Tina89317, jokingly calls it a "self-torture path to temper willpower and strengthen the mind." Venturing deep into icy mountain passes and wildlife habitats, enduring hardship along the way, all just to unveil the true face of the "Wolf Tower." The plan, filled with reverence for ancient beliefs and demonstrating professionalism and rigor, earned unanimous praise from the judges: "This is an outstandingly brilliant route."
The "Tracing the Westward Migration, Remembering the Xibe People" plan has garnered significant attention for its unique theme. Tracing the westward journey of the Xibe ancestors and commemorating their great feat in safeguarding national unity, the plan presents a vivid and dynamic picture of historical civilization through detailed research and passionate prose. Although the first segment, from Shenyang to Dong Ujimqin Banner, seems rather uneventful, the judges focused on how effectively the route can be integrated — and thus, the plan still stood out and won the top prize in the Outdoor Travel category. Additionally, the Professional Mountaineering category champion remains vacant, which serves as both pressure and motivation for those who submitted entries in this category.
The four monthly champions will each receive prizes from KOLON SPORT, OZARK GEAR (Osprey), and TOREAD ?/SPAN>(Tanluzhe)PinpaiheBLACK YAK ?/SPAN>(Bulaiyake)Pinpaitigongdegeertesi ?/SPAN>Huwaizhuangbeizuoweijiangpin.And the challengers who were not selected this time should not lose heart or become discouraged — the “Subaru Special Route” creates possibilities for dreams.Except for the four annual champion teams, one team among all participants will receive a Subaru Forester SUV, travel funds, and equipment support from Gore and Subaru, enabling them to forge their own path and realize their dreams.
