Summiting Haba Snow Mountain

The North Face unveiled Futurelight, a new, breathable, waterproof material set to revolutionise the future of technical fabrics, which is developed using innovative nano spinning technology and sustainably practices. In addition to unleashing my inner courage, I accepted the challenge to summit the Haba Snow Mountain, at the same time, to put Futurelight to the test, with the aim of finding out if Futurelight really is, as the brand puts it. Haba Snow Mountain is located in southeast Shangri-la County in Yunnan. It rises to 5,395 meters above seal level, making it one of the tallest peaks in the province.

A trek through the Abuji Pasture

When I first heard about Shangri-La County, I secretly knew it would be a heavenly place, filled with mountains and spectacular gorges. I was right. The capital of Diqing Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture of Yunnan Province, Southern China is truly a land of sacredness and peace. It is unique for its Tibetan culture and alpine landscapes, including the breathtaking Abuji Pasture. Surrounded by lush mountains in Xiaozhongdian Town, the Abuji Holy Pasture is a mountain paradise, with dense forests, pristine lakes, grasslands, and vegetations among the meadows.

The hike covered about 17 kilometres, surrounded by rare alpine flowers, clear waters, and lush forests. We set off early from Shangri-La County to the Abuji Holy Pasture. After a two-hour drive, mostly through a rough, bumpy off-road, we kick-started a 7-hour but strenuous hike ascen...

No matter where we are in the world, every time we embark on a biking adventure, we feel the anticipation of a new story. One of the pleasures with indulging outdoor is not having to hop in a car and drive to do them.
