Section 508 Everest (3)
I nodded in agreement, and said, "Indeed, in 2006, New Zealander Mark Inglis became the first person to conquer Mount Everest with both legs. In 2001, American Eric Wynmeyer became the first blind man to climb Mount Everest. The following year, Wayne Meyer climbed Mount Elbrus, the highest peak in Europe, and became the only blind mountaineer to complete the feat of conquering the highest peaks on the world's seven continents, not only that, but a mountaineer in China who amputated his legs also went through hardships and dangers, and finally reached the peak, his name is Xia Boyu, he is the only person in China who relies on a prosthetic leg to climb Mount Everest, and he was 69 years old at the time, in order to realize the dream of climbing the world's highest peak, Xia Boyu spent 43 years, as early as 1974, when the 25-year-old Xia Boyu became a member of the Chinese national mountaineering team, in May 1975, Xia Boyu and his teammates embarked on the process of climbing Mount Everest, which is also the first time he challenged the top of the world, unexpectedly, Xia Boyu encountered the biggest dilemma in his life, encountered bad weather on the way to climb Mount Everest, in the process of retreating, Xia Boyu gave his sleeping bag to his teammates, he had severe frostbite on both feet, and was later forced to amputate, becoming a disabled person without legs, and in 1996, Xia Boyu was diagnosed with cancer, despite the big difficulties in life, he has always chosen to be strong and optimistic, did not give up to pursue the pace of dreams, and climbed the world's highest peak, which has always been Xia Boyu's dream。 From 2014 to 2016, Xia Boyu challenged to climb Mount Everest three times in a row, but because of the extremely bad weather, he did not succeed, but he did not choose to give up, and he has been insisting on training. On May 14, 2018, Xia Boyu began the process of challenging the world's highest peak for the fifth time, and finally he successfully reached the top, 43 years of waiting and perseverance, Xia Boyu finally realized the biggest dream in life. Therefore, if they can do it for those who are inconvenient to move, and they are disabled and strong, then we normal people will definitely conquer Mount Everest and reach the highest peak. Like Hemingway's Kilimanjaro's snow, there is an inscription that says that Kilimanjaro is a mountain at an altitude of 19,710 feet, and near the northwest peak, there is a dried and frozen leopard carcass, and no one has explained what the leopard is doing in such a cold place. Mai Jia thinks that this leopard is a symbol of those who challenge the limits of human beings, including writers, and I think this leopard is the limit of climbers who want to conquer the height of the mountain, because the mountain is there. "We have come from afar, we are determined to climb the peak, hoping to conquer Mount Everest, but unlike us who are ambitious to conquer nature, this simple and kind Sherpa is much more tranquil, he talks eloquently, he said that they have always believed in the mountain god Sangmar riding a strange beast, he said that for them, every ascent to the summit does not mean conquest, but more of a sacred pilgrimage, with their own lives to embrace the mother of the mountain god - about 4, After the devout Sherpas moved from the east to the foothills of the Himalayas 500 years ago in search of the legendary Shangri-La, their ancestors have been farming here for generations.
Innate genetic conditions make them excellent mountaineers. Before mountaineering became their earning activity, the Sherpa believed that taking people to the summit and returning safely was to bring them closer to the gods, to practice, and to accumulate good fortune.
So he was willing to do it, dangerous or not. In his opinion, it was the kindness of Sangmar that allowed the spiritual mountain to bring the Sherpas the material of life, giving him the opportunity to earn much more than usual, change his life, and reach out to the wider world.
This black-skinned young man told us that in fact, if we have time, climbing Mount Everest does not need to rush to the top in one go, but to do adaptive climbing in stages, and then it will be done in one go, and the atmosphere will not take a breath, and it will take about 15 days to live in a camp at an altitude of 6,500 meters, and repeatedly train at an altitude of 7,028 meters and 7,500 meters every day to adapt to the high altitude.
Climbing Mount Everest basically has to go through the following four stages of mountaineering, 5000, 6000m entry-level: Haba Snow Mountain, Siguniang Mountain, Dafeng Second Peak, and the north slope of Yuzhu Peak.
6000m entry level: Anima Qing, Gela Dandong, Qi'er Mountain 7000 meters entry level - Muztag, Ningjin Kangsha, 8000 meters entry level - Zhuo Aoyou Peak, basically the above four levels of the mountain can climb Mount Everest, and it will be easier, not as out of breath as you are now, and you didn't catch your breath last time.
We laughed and said that we were practicing martial arts and didn't need to. However, many of us have never been to the plateau, so although we have strong martial arts, deep internal strength, and have just taken Rhodiola oralde, but more or less altitude sickness, we pause a little, rest in place for a while, everywhere is a white expanse, bright and bright, fortunately wearing sunglasses, otherwise the eyes will definitely be damaged, we looked around with a telescope, looking at the Lombak Glacier in the distance, magnificent and rare, thousands of ice towers, ice mushrooms, ice bridges, ice towers and so on, beautiful.
There are also ice cliffs up to tens of meters high, light and dark ice crevasses with step traps, and dangerous ice avalanche avalanche areas that make people shudder.
is still in the spirit of Xiaofei, he looks like he has nothing to do, and he can't help but hum the song of Everest in a low voice-
"Everest, Everest, you are towering in the hearts of people, you stand under the blue sky, you use the sunshine of love to nurture the Gesang flowers, you sprinkle the beautiful moonlight all over the Himalayas, Everest, Everest, I want to play the magical strings, I want you to pour out the love words of immortality, I love you Everest, the Everest in my heart, I want to provoke the enthusiastic pot village to offer you a white Hada, dedicated to you Everest, holy Everest, Everest, Everest——
Echoing the scene at this moment, we finally rested, and under the guidance of the guide, we breathed the thin and cold air of the Himalayas breathlessly, stepping on the thick snow, and climbing up with difficulty. The wind on Everest blew violently, the snow on the mountain beam blew all over the sky, the climate change was extremely rapid, the mountain beam under our feet was only more than 20 centimeters wide, and there were thousands of abysses on both sides.
