The second day of hiking (17km) will take about 7 hours. We will pass some impressive peaks (many unclimbed and some even unnamed). The farther we hike up the mountain, the wilder landscape becomes. As we arrive at the base camp, the stupendous rock walls of Siguniang will gradually emerge. If weather permits, we can even see the whole view of Siguniang area. We can hike around base camp to acclimatize then descend to base camp for good rest before proceeding to summit DaFeng the following day.

D7: ErFeng Base Camp/ Summit of ErFeng(5276m)/RiLong
It is uphill climb right from the beginning. Go slow and tackle the climb one step at a time. The summit route is mostly made-up of rocky slabs & goes from gentle slope to a steep ascend of about 40-45degree (especially the last 200 meters). Ropes may be required from this point. Physical fitness and mental strength is needed. Get up at 4:00, breakfast at 5:00. You should reach the summit at approximately 10:00. * Descend all the way back down to our base camp then trek back to RiLong once you finish capturing of your monumental moment of the summit. It will be a long walk but if you are physically fit then it will not be too big of a problem.
*If you do not make it to the summit until 11:00, you will still have to descend from where you are for safety precaution.
