Chapter 177: Rongbu Glacier, Trekking Insurance!(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)
The prelude to the summit has already been played.
An unprecedented challenge is about to begin!
At the same time, the first hand-to-hand encounter of mankind on Mount Everest also kicked off in front of everyone!
"Come on, anchor!"
"It's a gamble with your life!"
"Honey touches!"
"Yushen: Although I am dead today, I am still the overlord of Western Chu!"
"You can't lose your momentum!"
"Every challenge to nature will end miserably, see the warriors!"
"Rush Rush!"
"I will sleep here for a long time, I am really moved!"
......
Time passed by minute and second, and before I knew it, more than an hour had passed.
Walking on the alluvial fan of the Rongbu Glacier, Lu Yu raised his hand and looked at the mountaineering table.
The altitude is rising again, and the temperature is falling.
The wind speed has also changed.
The cold wind of cutting the dough is painful.
Looking up at the sky, it is still blue.
And at this time, the plateau that rises from the ground finally ushered in its sunset.
The sunrise on Mount Everest is nowhere near as beautiful as its sunset.
The moment the sun goes down, the fiery glow is reflected on the summit.
The bright red flag clouds, faintly emerging, create a beautiful "sunset gold mountain", which has been talked about by many photographers on the earth.
In order to record this most beautiful moment, Lu Yu moved his mind and controlled the drone to fly into the air and photographed this magnificent scene.
"Oh!
"The beautiful scenery of the good day can't be disappointed, I'll pay tribute first!"
"Thank you for the wallpaper of the feather god!"
"It's so beautiful!"
If it weren't for this live broadcast, many people might not have been able to witness such beauty up close and personal in their entire lives.
People sighed and praised.
It seems to have forgotten the sinister ...... of this top of the world.
China time: 8:15 a.m.
5702 meters above sea level.
The sun sets, and the night is not falling.
The sky around is bright, but the sight is full of stars, which can't help but be amazed.
As I walked, the road under my feet suddenly began to change.
The ground began to freeze and the snow was accumulating.
All around, the glacial landform is unobstructed.
The world-famous Ice Tower is just around the corner.
The ice tower that stands on the plateau is like a row of soldiers, guarding the side of the third goddess.
Walking into the Rongbu Glacier, Lu Yu looked at the silver white in his sight, and said to the camera:
"Brothers, this is the only way to go to 5,800 meters. ”
"Some geographers like to call them Rongbu Glaciers. Of course, they also have a nice name - Ice Tower. ”
Seeing Ice Tower, 5800 is not far away.
In half an hour at most, it will arrive.
Following the established route, Lu Yu explained as he advanced:
"Rongbu Glacier is a vast area of land between 5,300 and 6,300 meters at the foot of Mount Everest. ”
"It is composed of Rongbu Glacier, West Rongbu Glacier, Far West Rongbu Glacier and other glaciers, with a total length of more than 26 kilometers and a total area of 1,500 square kilometers, which is the most well-developed and well-preserved endemic glacier form in the world!"
"The average tongue of the glacier is 20 meters thick, and the thickest part is more than a few hundred meters. The genre is very complete, and it can be called the best in the world. The upper limit is 7260 m, which is mainly due to the deterioration of snow cover in the two major precipitation zones of the Indo-Ocean monsoon belt......"
As he spoke, the drone flew into the air.
In a short moment, the majestic glacier scenery is in full view.
All kinds of ice towers, in a thousand postures, stand quietly in the faint snow mist.
Deep in it, the silver-white glaciers, embattled on all sides, surrounded Lu Yu.
They come in all shapes and are very different.
Some resemble white stupas in front of Tibetan villages.
Some resemble the fins of whales protruding from the water.
Some are like sails in the wind.
Others resemble medieval knights' spears, pointing straight to the sky.
Lowering his head, some of the remaining ice buds in the lower layer of the glacier after melting are still flashing with blue and faint light, crystal clear and beautiful, which makes the audience in the live broadcast room extremely amazed:
"666, it's a little bit beautiful!"
"It's 6,000 meters soon, and the anchor can still speak?"
"Visually measure your lung capacity at least 8000+!"
"Mountaineering has nothing to do with lung capacity, the greater the lung capacity, the more likely it is to ...... high reaction"
"6,000 meters, I can't breathe when I hear it!"
In the live broadcast room, the vast majority of people love the scenery here.
But as everyone knows, the more beautiful the place, the more mysterious it often hides.
After walking forward for a while, Lu Yu found a relatively safe place and stopped.
Then he unloaded his backpack and knelt on the snow.
"Brothers......"
"Now, I have to find a way to insure myself. ”
As he spoke, he opened his backpack and took out a bundle of hiking rope from it, tying one end around his waist, "You may think that the scenery here is beautiful, and the altitude is not very high...... But this ice tower is the first danger on my way to the top!"
"I don't know if you have noticed, along the way, we can often see ice cliffs tens of meters high, and the feet are sinking step by step, light and dark ice crevasses are not uncommon, in addition, there are all kinds of dangerous ice avalanche avalanche areas. ”
After tying the mountaineering rope, Lu Yu tied nearly a dozen double-buckle knots on the rope again, and then hung the end of the rope on the figure-eight ring of the backpack.
"If you don't do something about it, if you really fall, the consequences will be unimaginable. It can be a fall or a disaster. ”
After speaking, Lu Yu's heart moved.
After the drone realized, it flew not far ahead and found an ice crack with a depth of tens of meters.
The huge drop, breaking into the camera, instantly made the audience stand upside down, and they didn't dare to look at it directly.
It's hard to imagine what happens if one person stumbles here.
The veil of beauty was lifted, and the amazed Everest gave everyone a head-on blow!
"Nima, terrible!"
"I'll make it! If this falls, it will be fragrant!"
"I fell so much that my mother couldn't recognize it!"
"Death on the spot series!"
After getting the "insurance", Lu Yu stood up, dragged his backpack, and continued to walk forward: "This trick was learned from the Sherpas who have lived in the snowy mountains for many years. ”
"Sherpas, the highest known group of people, live at an altitude of five or six thousand meters all year round, and have been scattered on both sides of the Himalayas for generations, mainly in Nepal. ”
"When they were transporting supplies alone on the snowy mountains, they often used me to hurry, using a rope and dragging their backpacks. ”
"If you accidentally fall into a crevice in the ice hidden in the snow, the knot on the climbing rope will immediately tighten under the dual effect of the backpack and your body weight, forming a super friction force that pulls on the edge of the ice cliff and can buy you at least a minute to escape. ”
The footage of the backpack slowly leaving the drone from the ground gradually blurred and then disappeared completely......
Immediately afterwards, the camera turned, and the live broadcast picture had become a bird's-eye view of the ice tower.
The silver-white glaciers, with their teeth intertwined, become more and more terrifying as the altitude continues to rise!
After walking forward for a while, Lu Yu was about to step into 5,800 meters.
But somehow, he smelled 6,000 meters.
The temperature plummets, but the wind speed does not decrease.
The light around them gradually dimmed.
In order to find out what was going on under his feet, he had to turn on his headlamp.
Swish!
The dim light, suddenly breaking into a messy snow mist, illuminated the ground in front of it.
But in the next second!
There was a loud bang, but it resounded through the live broadcast room!
"Whoop——!
In the panic, the audience shouted again and again.
But when he looked at it again, Lu Yu disappeared into the snow......
