Chapter 179 - North Col Heavenly Danger, Vertical Limit!(Ask for a subscription, ask for a monthly pass!)
The night on Everest was chaotic.
The wind and snow are endless.
The cold and hard mountain rock, without a little emotion, is not moved by anyone.
Taking off the wind and snow mirrors, Lu Yu gasped twice, grinned and smiled with a stiff mouth: "6500, it feels okay." ”
"Just when you breathe, there is a noticeable burning sensation in your throat, which is normal and there is no need to worry. I'll set up camp here later, rest for a while, recharge some energy, and replace some equipment. ”
The height of 6,000 meters is really nothing for Lu Yu.
But looking at the snowstorm covering the live broadcast screen, the audience had a first-hand experience of the cruel environment at high altitude:
"It's scary to watch!"
"Scared to death!More than 6,500 meters?"
"Did this person really climb 6,500 meters?"
"Damn, it's really awesome!"
"66666, it's too strong!"
……
Before that, no one had ever climbed this height, whether it was a private mountaineering organization or an official mountaineer!
It's not just Everest.
Even in other snow-capped mountains, it's the same.
Suffice it to say that this young man was the first climber to stand at an altitude of almost 7,000 meters!
This situation swept away all the doubts on the Internet in an instant!
Professionals from all walks of life, while feeling incredible, can't help but sigh frequently!
Call it impossible!
However, this scene is in front of you.
Believe it or not, it has become an indisputable fact.
Anaerobic 6500!
It's already very strong!
In the previous life, the Chinese mountaineering team was denied climbing Mount Everest because they did not leave a picture.
Today, under the gaze of the whole world, Lu Yu stands at a height beyond the reach of ordinary people!
Not only did it leave a video, but it was also a global live broadcast!
After gossiping, Lu Yu put down his backpack, took out the mountain tent, chiseled the ground with an ice axe, inserted the tent nails, and propped it up.
Set up your tent.
He picked up the camp lantern, braved the wind and snow, and went headlong into it.
Although there is a safe haven, the raging wind is still howling.
The tent was crumbling and looked like it was going to be destroyed at any moment.
Hiding in the tent, Lu Yu laid out the moisture-proof mat and sleeping bag, and then took out the portable cassette stove and related cooking utensils as soon as possible, grabbed a handful of snow and put it in a small pot:
"The hot water soothes my throat a little bit. ”
Taking off his hat and goggles, he unzipped his one-piece down jacket, sniffled and blushed, "To avoid hypothermia, I have to change into a new set of quick-drying underwear." Because the temperature is too low, the effect of quick-drying clothes has long been greatly reduced. It is very dangerous to continue to wear wet clothing. ”
"I once gave you science popularization, outdoor hypothermia is also called hypothermia. ”
But that doesn't mean it's only in cold climates, in fact, hypothermia begins to threaten climbers below 20°C, and according to the North American Mountaineering Association's accident report, 0 to 10 degrees Celsius is the most common range. ”
Taking off the one-piece down jacket, Lu Yu took the opportunity to untie the flight suit and changed into a new set of underwear for himself.
"On the plateau, moisture and wind are the biggest killers. ”
"Approaching the freezing point, we are easily paralyzed by the ambient temperature, and we will unconsciously let ourselves sweat profusely. At this time, wet underwear will increase the conduction speed of body heat, almost 5 times that of dry underwear, which is very terrifying!"
"In addition, the wind chill effect and humidity will also exacerbate the loss of body temperature, and once the symptoms of hypothermia appear, the consequences will be unimaginable, and you will be put down in half an hour at most, so it is important to pay attention. ”
As he spoke, the snow turned into water and gradually boiled.
But the temperature is not high, and I am afraid that even the eggs will not be cooked.
After drinking some water, Lu Yu took out good beef jerky and milk scallops and ate a few pieces.
Get back as much of the lost heat as possible.
Outside the tent, it was dark, the wind was gusting, and the sound was earth-shattering.
The situation inside is not much better, and the temperature is pitifully low.
After resting for about 20 minutes, Lu Yu put on a flight suit and a one-piece down jacket and came outside.
Withstanding the wind and snow, he put away his tent and replaced his usual ice and snow equipment.
Then, they left the 6500 advance camp and headed along the ridge towards the North Col Ice Wall.
The difference in height of the North Col ice wall is about 400 meters.
Just flip over and you'll reach 7028.
The distance between the ice wall and the forward camp is really not that long.
The difficulty lies in the slope and the iron-hard glacier.
If it is an ordinary commercial summit event, it will take at least nearly 4 hours to conquer it.
The difficulty can be imagined.
All the way forward, in the process of hiking, Lu Yu's breathing became more and more rapid.
The cold climate and oxygen-free environment forcibly slowed him down.
The ridge is almost entirely covered with large expanses of ice.
Hard, steep.
It's a bit difficult to walk.
In the picture, the ice wall not far ahead, which looks like a white, wrinkled curtain, is waving in the wind in the dark night......
"Hoo ——!"
"Hoo ——!"
"Hoo ——!"
Yanjing, National Mountaineering Team.
The big screen in the lounge.
Lu Yu's lone figure on the snowy mountain made everyone silent.
The sound of heavy breathing, in the room where the pin drop could be heard, became extraordinarily clear.
A group of team members, with surging hearts and complicated faces, were all watching this man's every move.
At the back of the lounge, there were three people sitting.
In addition to Captain Wang Yongfeng, there is also Xia Changtian, the old leader of the Guodeng team.
Xia Lao was the first captain of the Huaxia Mountaineering Team.
Mountaineers of the older generation, absolute heavyweights.
He has been working hard all his life for the mountaineering career in China.
Although he is in his sixties, he is still in good spirits.
At this moment, Xia Lao was sitting precariously, and there seemed to be light in his eyes.
Staring at the big screen, he couldn't take his eyes off Wang Yongfeng and muttered: "This young man is not simple......
"It's unbelievable that both the physical fitness and the mountaineering skills are beyond the best in the world. ”
Seeing this, Wang Yongfeng echoed: "If you continue to maintain this state, 8000 should not be a big problem." ”
“8000?”
"Hmm. ”
Xia Changtian thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "It's possible, it's really possible, there is definitely a chance!"
"I've seen his route to the summit and it's well planned. The 8000 is fine, but there are some necessary conditions to reach the top, don't you think?"
Wang Yongfeng asked.
Xia Changtian glanced at him and shook his head: "The climate at the summit is changing rapidly, and the difficulty of reaching the summit is too great, not to mention the altitude of 8,000 meters, many external environmental factors are enough to make people tired of coping." To reach the top, luck is greater than strength. ”
Then, he changed his words again:
"But I'm lucky enough to see someone challenge Mount Everest in my lifetime. Even if you don't reach the top, this is definitely the greatest step taken by the mountaineering world!"
……
After passing through the long and vast ice field, less than 22:30, Lu Yu finally came to the bottom of the ice wall.
This is the road to the top, a real natural danger!
What is Natural Insurance?
The natural danger is that the vertical limit of the altitude difference is more than 300 meters!
Nearly 7,000 meters high in thin air!
And the ice avalanche that could bury you completely at any time!
That's right.
This is the North Col ice wall of Mount Everest -
A real danger in the Himalayas!
"Hoo ——!"
Standing at the bottom of the ice wall, Lu Yu took out an ice axe and a climbing rope, looked at the top of the ice at an altitude of 7,000 meters, sighed for a long time, and finally took the first step to conquer the natural danger of Mount Everest!
