Chapter 0213 - The 20th Route to the Top (Second Update)

Early the next morning, Lin Feng slept lazily and didn't get up until half past nine.

Two days of high-altitude hiking made him physically and mentally exhausted, and he originally wanted to use his skills to recover, but he still held back.

The cooldown time of [Single Body Healing] is too long, and it will take a day to use it once, and if you use it now, if something happens in the next two days, it will be difficult to do.

Especially when going down.

Giving up this idea, Lin Feng ate casually, and changed the title of the room to: ""Conquest of the Wilderness" New Year's Special, DAY.6, the new line starts to the top!"

Then, the live broadcast began!

Because the broadcast started late, only one second, those water friends who were waiting in front of the screen poured into the live broadcast room.

The number of people online in the upper right corner immediately began to grow wildly.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand, one hundred thousand!

Seeing that the people were almost there, Lin Feng said directly: "Good morning everyone, I am Lin Feng, and today is the sixth day I have come to Mount Everest!"

"I'm at 8,300 meters above sea level right now, and I'll go to the top again with the Guodeng team on the new route, which may sound crazy, but I still choose to stay. ”

"Because I didn't want to miss this opportunity. ”

In the live broadcast room, some viewers asked about Xiao Qiang's condition.

Lin Feng replied truthfully: "She got into Simon's helicopter and was sent to the hospital by rescuers, the situation should be stabilized, rest assured, she is fine." ”

At 10 o'clock in the morning, the people of the Guodeng team had already begun to pack up their equipment.

Lin Feng also changed into a set of mountaineering equipment and put on a one-piece down jacket.

"The one-piece down jacket is the most practical equipment for climbing Mount Everest, it belongs to the aerospace level, the cost is about 20,000 US dollars, it is very luxurious, but it is really useful, after wearing it, the cold of Himalaya will not pose any threat to you. ”

"Damn, so expensive?"

"How much is $20,000 equivalent to Soft Girl Coins?"

"Twelve or thirty thousand!"

"Nima, it's so expensive......"

"Sprinkle water, climbing Mount Everest is originally a rich man's sport, and it will cost more than 200,000 yuan to find a mountaineering company, not counting the equipment. ”

"Can't afford to play, can't afford to play ......"

Subsequently, Lin Feng changed into a pair of double-layered alpine boots, put on a balaclava, equipped with a headlamp, and changed the bulb and battery.

"This is a high-altitude climbing sling, with a locking shackle and a fixed shackle, and a left and right ascent, a Prussian knot. These equipment are also very useful, and you can avoid accidents when crossing the ice cliff!"

Lin Feng introduced his equipment to the audience one by one, like a few treasures.

After all the equipment was packed, the Wang team gave a gathering signal on the walkie-talkie.

Before 10 o'clock in the morning, a group of 9 people launched a mighty attack on the peak.

This time, they will challenge the route of turning the North Col Ice Wall to the Southwest Wall!

In addition to the 5.5 km of snow slopes, there is also a section of extremely steep glacier cliffs, which can only be crossed by ladders.

In addition, when they finally reach the summit, they need to climb from the vertical rock wall with the use of a riser.

So, the difficulty is quite high.

Historically, there have only been four routes to the summit of the southwest wall, the earliest in 1975 and the latest in 2009.

So far, a total of 19 routes have been developed on Mount Everest.

The first ascent route on the southwest wall is still considered the most difficult route to climb Mount Everest.

If successful, the North Wall to Southwest Wall route of the National Deng Team this time should be included in the 20th summit route, which is of great significance.

It took nearly four hours for everyone to climb the north wall with ropes and begin to move towards the southwest wall.

Soon, a huge glacier cliff blocked their way.

The depth of the cliff, which is more than 100 meters, is located in the position of the cross-cut, and you can only choose to take a metal ladder, and then walk over from the top of the ladder!

"What should I do if I step on the air?"

"There should be protection, right?"

"There are protections, but the ladder is not fixed, and once you fall, isn't it all over!?"

"I'm nervous for some reason!"

……

On the other side, Sun Bing and Xu Wenchao had already tied two pairs of metal ladders together and crossed the ice cliff.

Others began to prepare their equipment, equipping their bodies with Prussian knots and climbing harnesses.

Captain Wang, who was the first to walk up the ladder, was very slow, and with each step, he had to stop for several seconds to adjust.

Because the landing point on the ladder is simply not enough to support the entire ball of the foot.

Therefore, it is very unstable to walk, and it is necessary to master the balance, and pay attention not to step on the air under your feet, which is quite difficult.

Moreover, the further you get to the second half, the more difficult it is to move forward, because the metal ladder does not have a fixed support point, it is swaying from side to side, and someone needs to go over and hold it in place with an ice pick.

Five minutes later, Captain Wang passed without a hitch.

As soon as he landed, he took out an ice pick, fixed the ladder, and then asked Sun Bing to hand him the glacier rope and pull up a section of protective rope above the metal ladder.

Climbers can tie harnesses and knots to avoid accidents.

In doing so, the psychological burden of climbers can be greatly reduced, and even if someone stumbles, they can use slings and glacier ropes to climb back up.

Seeing that it was almost over, he gestured to everyone.

The first to go up were two Tibetan boys, Basang and Mima, who were very steady on their feet, holding the glacier rope, and quickly walked over.

They were followed by Sun Bing and Xu Wenchao.

Nothing went wrong either.

When these four people passed smoothly, Xia Lao took the first step forward.

Because it is a prosthetic, he walks very slowly, and almost every step forward, it takes more than ten seconds, which is particularly inconvenient.

He walked forward five or six meters cautiously, and just as he stepped out of his left leg and was about to move on, an accident suddenly happened.

His feet slipped, his body tilted, he lost his center of gravity, and he fell.

Because the underside of the prosthesis is a "foot plate" made of carbon fiber, the force is very uneven.

"Bang!"

Fortunately, at the moment of falling into the abyss, the Prussian knot on his body immediately tightened, dragging his body, otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

Seeing this, Xia Lao grabbed the metal ladder with both hands, and moved forward alternately, and when he was about to reach the end, Sun Bing released a piece of rope and pulled him up.

A false alarm.

Chen Tao, a new team member, couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw this scene, and his legs began to tremble slightly.

He adjusted his breathing, perhaps because he was too nervous, and as soon as he took the first step, the metal ladder made a clanging sound.

"Look forward, look forward, relax!"

Seeing this, Captain Wang hurriedly shouted on the walkie-talkie.

This Chen Tao is actually a good mountaineer, and he once climbed Siguniang Mountain alone.

If divided according to the difficulty level, Siguniang Mountain is much more difficult than Mount Everest.

But somehow, as soon as he came here, he was like a different person, and even the most basic operations began to become sluggish.

Perhaps, this is the terrible death zone, which brings people psychological pressure.

Chen Tao heard the voice of Team Wang coming from the walkie-talkie, and tried to stabilize his body.

But unfortunately, before he could get out of either side, the kid's legs softened into a puddle of mud, and he fell down the ladder.
