Behold this Holy Ridge!" wrote Japanese climber Numai Tetsutaro in 1928.
"Who can fully accomplish this climb from Dabajianshan to Syue
Mountain? Who can be crowned with the laurel of victory and be the first
to tell of the truth and beauty of the journey?
Shengleng Trail is also known as Holy Ridge Trail.
This July, I'll be flying over to Taiwan to do this trail. Certainly one of the toughest trek in Taiwan. The level of difficulty is relative. It depends if you are hiring porters to carry your supplies, the season, and the prevailing weather.
Just by examining the trail conditional, gradient, and the amt of supplies I need to carry (between 20-30kg). I agree with some website that this trek is rate 5 out of 5 star difficulty.
If I have a choice on the season, I would like to go during winter. I love snow on the mountain. Perhaps after experiencing Summer trek, I'll come back in the future to experience it in Winter.
As an old saying in the mountain climbing realm goes, “those who finish Shengling Trail are qualified to get married.” It means only when a young man breaks through all difficulties along this trail can he shoulder the responsibility of having a family.- Sheipa National Park website.
Perhaps the above might turn out to be true for me.
These are great links to tell you more about the trek.
