Ref.#07 8321 ~ Black Dragon Ridge, Hua Shan Mountain
A porter carries propane and supplies up the Black Dragon Ridge to hostels high on the mountain.
Mt Huashan is famous for natural vistas of steep and narrow paths, precipitous crags and a high mountain range. One of the five sacred mountains of Chinese Taoism, the scope of Huashan's importance throughout Chinese. Here, workers pack supplies up to one of the small inns, this one near the 6857' summit of East peak. Along the way one must be very careful when hiking the more dangerous passes, such as "Thousand-Foot Precipice", "Hundred-Foot Crevice", "Golden Lock Pass", and the above shown "Black Dragon Ridge". On the day we could visit we took a cable car to over 4000' elevation then climbed another 1000'. The mountain was totally shrouded in fog but we were still awed by the sheer cliffs in all directions. On this stretch one climbs along a ten foot wide ridge with near vertical cliffs on either side vanishing into the fog. Time did not permit us to get to the infamous "Plank Road" suspended off the 5000" cliffs of South Peak.
