More than four years ago (2019.1.10 Yushan) I started to climb Baiyue Mountain. After that, I attacked Beidawu Mountain alone, and then Xueshan Mountain and Bilu Mountain alone. My friend said that I wanted to attack Qilai Zhubei alone. Of course I didn’t want to I missed it. I bought a new smaller single-attack backpack for this more difficult trip, but my friend went climbing first when I took my wife to the snow mountain for the second time (2020.6.12), and then my friend kept saying it after he came back. The main north of Qilai is mostly in the north and is difficult to climb. In view of the many rumors about "Black Qilai", my friend's wife also went astray during the trip, so I had to continue to arrange the simpler Baiyue first and continue training. Regarding physical fitness, I just thought about when I could go there...I kept thinking about it for almost three years.
Half a year ago, I almost climbed the Baiyue Mountains that I thought were easy, improved my physical fitness, and did a lot of homework about Qilai North. Last year (October 2022), I started applying for a 3 days and 2 nights trip with my wife. However, the weather was not good. I had applied for the Qing Dynasty holiday this year (April 2023), but Liushun Mountain was open again. I thought it was important to go to Colorful Lake and Liushun Mountain, which are limited to seasons. Sure enough, the Dandalinda Road news had been hyped for a month. Keywords bring a lot of clicks, and I predict that next year it will be the first video to hit 100,000 views. I originally wanted to apply for a holiday during the Dragon Boat Festival and come back to challenge Qilai North Peak again during the summer vacation. It happened that my college classmate said that I would go in May during the student examination week. I applied immediately without saying anything. Time is limited and I can only climb Qilai North Peak. This trip I’ll try the water temperature first, and I’ll be more confident if I plan to bring others with me for 3 days and 2 nights next time.

Two months later, I took others with me to climb Qilai Zhubei for 3 days and 2 nights:

My experience: First of all, choose good weather before setting off. From Xiaoqilai in front, it is a slow descent all the way to Heishuitang, which is easy and easy to walk. From Heishuitang to Chenggong Mountain House, it is not difficult to go up and down. The climb is steep all the way from Chenggong Mountain House. The mileage is not long, and it feels like the climb is rapid. I walk slowly to the Main North Fork and I don’t feel tired. Since the distance is not long, I don’t feel world-weary. It takes about an hour to reach the Main North Fork and then to the ridgeline. It's steep and the distance is not long, so it feels like you're on the edge in less than an hour. After reaching the ridge line, the North Peak actually feels very close. In the end, although it is a straight climb, there are ropes along the way and there are many stepping points. It does not take too much time to get to the triangle point. It takes another hour, so the normal total distance from Chenggong Mountain House to the North Peak is about Three hours.
On the return trip, the North Peak feels a little more exposed, so it is not dangerous to pull the rope down slowly. The descent is steep from the lower ridgeline to Chenggong Mountain House. Finally, we returned to the trailhead from Heishui Pond and walked up slowly. Afterwards, I felt a little tired because my physical energy was slightly exhausted, but it was not difficult to walk up slowly. All in all, don’t be too eager and push yourself too early. It’s actually quite easy... Don’t scare people by saying that Qilai is difficult to climb...!! Simple! As for attacking the north alone? I think a leisurely three days and two nights would be fine...
