When the car started skidding backwards over the snowy road, we decided to get off. By the time we jumped on, we were very cold and just hoped the driver would manage to get us over Zheduo Pass.
We did not hesitate and left the jeep, wondering why the driver would continue to give full throttle, which only resulted in snow being hurled into the air, and the jeep skidding even closer to the edge. Quickly, on both sides a traffic jam started to develop, with many puzzled stares at our 4WD stuck in the snow. Only after I pointed to the 4WD handle did the driver explain in signs that that did not work, which made us wonder even more - for days, we had thought to be in a safe car on bad roads. We put stones behind the back wheels, and taught the driver how to put on snow chains on a snowy mountain road. When we finally were able to board the car again, we were very cold, shaking, and our hands seemed icycles. We soon thereafter reached the top of Zheduo pass at around 4200m.
