430. Mountaineering
"Why do I feel so tired, Ben Daoye's physical fitness, that is comparable to the existence of athletes, this is not scientific......"
Zhuge Yinglong sat on the stone and said suspiciously, why did he just climb for a while, and he felt that he couldn't breathe, and it was necessary to take a rest.
"Climbing a mountain is walking, not ......running," Li Zimu said lightly, and found a stone to sit and rest for a while.
This kid was so excited when he just went up the mountain, he trotted all the way up and rushed to the top, relying on his own good equipment, naively thinking that he was walking faster than others.
In fact, mountaineering is a very long process, how high is Mount Everest? More than 8,800 meters, and the altitude of the base camp of Mount Everest is more than 5,222 meters high, that is to say, climbing Mount Everest is just climbing the last 3,000 meters.
How far is more than 3,000 meters? According to the current speed of human walking, it is 5.6 kilometers an hour on flat land, and 3,000 meters on flat land for an hour.
Of course, this is mountain climbing, so it can't be measured by flat land, but after so many years, the people who can go to the top of Mount Everest are just a few, the kind that can even remember their names in a short time.
Mountaineering should be a process of rising at a uniform speed, keeping the body in a stable state, and walking up slowly, rather than being fast for a while and slow like Zhuge Yinglong.
Besides, the air on this mountain is already thin, the lack of oxygen supply in the body, the body function is far less than usual, the strenuous exercise consumes faster, and the body quickly crosses, so Zhuge Yinglong has only walked a short distance, and he feels tired, which is a normal thing.
There are a lot of people traveling with them, there should be several mountaineering teams, all of them are quite experienced, and they are slowly walking towards the top.
There are more than a dozen routes to the summit of Mount Everest, and this is not the only one, so it is not very crowded.
"Why do so many people die on the mountain every year? If you have equipment, it shouldn't be too difficult to take a break when you're tired and then set off, right?"
Chi Ling said suspiciously, she thought that climbing Mount Everest would not be a difficult thing, but since she knew the specific data, she was completely shocked.
Three hundred people have died in the past 50 years! That's a lot more.
Logically speaking, there should be few cases of stumbling with equipment, and there should be no problem of hypoxia, because there are oxygen cylinders, so logically speaking, so it is right that so many people should not die.
"Avalanches occupy the main problem, followed by physical exhaustion and too late to rescue, then the terrain is dangerous to lose, and there is no experience to climb the mountain without permission, etc., there are too many possibilities."
The country stipulates that if you want to climb Mount Everest, you must bring a Sherpa guide or an experienced professional mountaineer.
However, the high hiring cost discouraged most people, and many of them felt that they didn't need a guide, so most of them died on the mountain.
In a high mountain like Mount Everest, there are many avalanches every day, and there is basically no Sherpa guide who is familiar with the safe route, and it is basically impossible to hide, even if there are Sherpas as guides, but avalanches are not something that people can control, and it is possible that the whole team is unlucky to finish playing.
Seven thousand meters above Mount Everest, you can basically see the corpses on the side of the road, and these corpses are like road signs that they may also have the same fate.
The corpses had been there, no one had touched, and they were still in their last position.
It would be too difficult to move the body down the mountain, so no one would do such a thankless task, so let him stay there......
"It's better not to rest well above 7,000 meters"
Li Zimu looked at Zhuge Yinglong for no reason and said, according to the way this kid is going to rest after walking for a while, no one will take it, and he will die 100%......
Those climbers also set off with the idea of resting for a while, but usually after closing their eyes, they never opened them again.
"Do you have to say it so penetrating......
Zhuge Yinglong hurriedly stood up from the stone and said, he felt a chill on his back, and he always felt that there were countless pairs of eyes staring at him, saying in his ear, come on, come on, or something, it's so exciting to think about......
"Let's go on, we'll turn the corner when we get to the snow line," Li Zimu nodded and stood up.
It is now the end of March, and the snow line on the north slope of Mount Everest should be at a height of about 6,78 meters, while the height of the north slope is more than 7,600 meters.
In other words, when they reach the snow line of Mount Everest, they can almost walk around the snow line to the north of the north, so that they can be regarded as passing diagonally, and the difficulty coefficient is reduced a lot.
The four of them walked up unhurriedly, with their previous experience, Zhuge Yinglong was also much quieter now, and obediently walked behind Li Zimu, afraid that if they were not careful, there would be one more person in the number of mountaineering deaths this year......
The road ahead is okay, because there is no snow, so the road is not slippery, and because there are reasons that the predecessors have walked, there is already a road out, just follow the up, but there is no need to open up another route.
And everyone has just gone up the mountain, full of energy, except for feeling a little uneasy breathing, everything else is fine.
Li Zimu took the lead and walked in the front, with Pudding and Chi Ling in the middle, and Zhuge Yinglong at the end, because Li Zimu had explained the reasons in advance, so everyone did not speak, and walked silently.
At such a high altitude, talking is a very physically demanding thing, so it's better not to talk or something, unless it's some necessary communication, otherwise it's not much to talk about.
When Sherpas climb mountains, they have a set of special gestures in order to reduce their talking in order to reduce the energy consumption of their bodies.
Mountaineering is a very physical and mental sport, and there are not a few people who have a nervous breakdown on the way, so the team should help each other to have a chance to reach the top.
In fact, everyone is for the thrill and desire to conquer at the moment when they can stand on the top, and the long road to the mountain is just a preparation for this moment.
Li Zimu climbed many mountains, and the last moment was indeed very refreshing, as if the whole person's mood had risen a notch.
The number of people traveling on the road gradually became smaller, and most of them did not mean to reach the summit, so they chose to go down the mountain when they felt that they were about to take it anymore, which was a very wise decision.
Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people, and when it was almost 7,000 meters, there were no other mountaineering teams around.
Of course, this is also what Li Zimu expected in his heart.
