Chapter 439 [Mountain Climbs to the Top, I am the Peak (Three Watches)]
The team began to climb one after another, and when Chen Ergou was the last to climb the Chinese ladder, it was the South African team's Dlamini who followed his butt.
Although they helped each other once, there was nothing to say when they met again, and everyone was saving effort. Dlamini was 75 years old and had a heart attack, but he looked better than some of the younger lads. To be able to come out and venture to climb Mount Everest at his grade is indeed admirable.
But not everyone can be as brave as this old man.
There's so much to see and hear these days. There are not a few people who turn around and abandon the journey when they see a gap in the ice that they have to pass through a ladder. While climbing the world's highest peak, it is possible to see large ice blocks the size of cars, small avalanches, diarrhea six times a night on the edge of a cliff, and a brain capacity reduced to 15%.
Fortunately, there are those dangers, and many competitors have been naturally screened out, so they can get here so smoothly.
"Hi, you're Chen, I recognize you. I heard that you are the leader of the Chinese team...... Hey, you're not carrying oxygen, you're climbing without oxygen?"
Chen Ergou smiled and said, "Yes." Thank you for your help. ”
"I'm going to climb the mountain, good luck to you. With that, he began his own climb.
Adrian helped him tie the trench cord, "Be careful. "He needs to stay for the time being, waiting for Lao Qin and Wang Jian who have fallen behind.
Chen Ergou nodded and began to climb.
His speed is natural and smooth, although it is not as good as climbing a ladder in the plains, but at an altitude of 8,700 meters above sea level, he still maintains a rhythm of 2~3 seconds to climb the ladder at a constant pace.
But I saw those people climb the ladder before, and then I watched him climb...... It's two different things entirely.
At this speed, he also stunned the people below.
"666, the anchor is hanging like this, does your family know?"
"I rub, there is no harm if there is no comparison, and when I see this paragraph, I know how much the team is dragging down the dog. ”
"I seem to see two ladders, why does it take more than ten minutes for others to climb a ladder. ”
"2333, the look up from below, is the best background!"
Adrian was also shocked and kept shouting to him to be careful, but Chen Ergou hummed all the way up the Chinese ladder without a pause. The South African players waiting below have all opened their mouths and stammered.
The closing time is two o'clock in the afternoon, and now there is not enough time, there are only the last 2~3 hours away from the peak, and at the last moment before reaching the peak, there will be a third step at an altitude of 8800 meters, but this is generally a bypass walk, and then it will reach the peak.
He soon caught up with the old Chu and them who were struggling to move forward in the vast white glacier in front of him.
The slopes beneath your feet are getting steeper and smoother.
After climbing two rocky rocks, they climbed another snowy slope. First, Chu Nan Guyue opened the way in front, and after walking for less than a few minutes, he was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his waist. So, Wang Shi stepped forward to open the way, and it took him a long time to advance two or three steps, but his legs went limp, and he slipped back to his original place. Huang Cong stepped forward with difficulty to open the way, but he was just as choked!
Finally, after Chen Ergou came up, he caught up all the way steadily, and walked in front of the road again, and everyone was finally relieved to see his back.
The camera zooms higher and higher, and the team is crawling slowly like black ants among the huge mountains and rivers.
Such a scene shows the insignificance of human beings and the majesty of nature.
Mount Everest is so close at hand, yet so far away. But the wind is getting lighter, which is good for climbing to the top. They stood on the rocky slope in silence for a moment.
Now, with every step they take, they have to stop and rest for a long time.
The team endured great physical pain, helped each other, encouraged each other, and continued to walk towards the top.
Regarding the third step, which is located at a height of 8,800 meters, there is a not-so-recognized saying: "If you cross it, you will reach the top." "This is a zigzag rope erected, which is not very difficult to pass, but it is more physically demanding.
After the third step, there is a large snowy slope, a large cross-cut at 8,800 meters, about 30 meters long, only the width of one foot, and the other side is an abyss. The slope is about sixty or seventy degrees, and it is very difficult to take three breaths to climb a step.
The camera shoots down from a height, scaring a group of "fear of heights"!
"Ahhhh
"Don't shoot below, I'm Cao!"
"The highest cliff in the world!"
"I was scared to death by my father, and my feet were weak. ”
Luckily, there was a rope and we were able to get through. At this time, the time is half past seven, and the fish belly appears white in the east. When the first rays of sunlight are golden and jump out of the horizon, it is so beautiful that few people really see it.
"Friends, this is the famous Hillary Steps!"
Chen Ergou took a few quick breaths, and even spoke slowly, and said: "Located at 8,839 meters above sea level on Mount Everest, this is the last pass to reach the peak. ”
After saying these few words, he also seemed to become panting like a cow, not tired, but oxygen scarce.
He was the only one who had to endure more pressure for the whole journey without aerobic climbing.
The altitude of the mountains is so high that even if there is oxygen inhalation, others feel dizzy, wheezing, and weak. Their limbs have become heavier, their movements have become more sluggish, and it takes several minutes to climb even a metre-high rock.
The Hillary Steps, as seen from the camera, seem to be just like that, and are fading away as the snow and ice move. Maybe after a year, you will never see each other again. But for people who try to reach the summit of Mount Everest every year, it still feels like a bottleneck.
The Hillary Steps are a very dangerous part of the mountain range, and when a mountaineering team passes through it, only one person at a time can try to pass it. This caused the team to reach the summit to be significantly slower.
But at this time, there is no one in front of Chen Ergou, and he will be the first to reach the top today!
"Come on, it's almost there!"
Chen Ergou has "taken the lead" and is about to reach the top, "Can you have some music!"
Such a small wish, of course, no problem!
"You're satisfied!"
The magnificent music of "Victory" suddenly sounded in the live broadcast room, and the audience's emotions also reached a climax.
After Chen Ergou crossed a section of snow slope to the east, he went around to the right to the rocky slope to the north and continued to climb upward, and finally landed at a place where rocks and snow meet. When he looked around again, he could only see the shadows of the snow on the peaks of the Everest Mountains, all prostrate at his feet.
And above his head, there was only a white blue sky, and there was no mountain rock to climb anymore.
It dawned on him that he raised his hands in the air and let out a suppressed and short roar from his chest, "Ahhh
He......
Finally......
Climb to the summit of Mount Everest, complete the most important part of your adventure, and stand at the top of the world's highest peak.
His fingers touched the tip of the black stone at the very point, and then pointed to the sky, and his face was full of smiles.
He took out a red flag from his backpack and unfurled it. The hunting red flag waved in the wind, making a "crackling" sound.
At 7:45 a.m., Chen Ergou successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest.
At an altitude of 8,848 meters, standing on top of the world, seeing the sun rise here is an unforgettable memory of life!
The live broadcast room is boiling-
"Congratulations to the dog master for reaching the top!"
"Congratulations to the dog master for reaching the top!"
……
"The dog is handsome!"
"Kneel, Mom asks to kneel!"
"Husband, I'm going to give you a monkey. ”
"So this is the top of Mount Everest!"
The summit of Mount Everest is about 30 square meters, and the south side can overlook the snow-capped mountains in Nepal.
The wind was blowing slowly on the top of the mountain. The sun was shining and everyone was excited.
Chen Ergou's heart was purified like the air, and it seemed to merge with the heavens, earth, mountains and rivers. Standing on the top of the mountain, he raised his hands and raised Mount Everest by nearly two meters.
"I am the peak of the mountain!"
The people in the rear were still struggling to move forward, and he turned back and helped everyone stagger, and finally put the group on the top of Mount Everest. Huang Cong, Wang Shi, Wang Jing, Chu Nan Guyue and others all hugged and took pictures excitedly.
The flag of the World Expo, the flag of the Vanke Charity Foundation, etc., are all displayed aside.
After Chu Nan Guyue was put on the top by Chen Ergou, he knelt on the mountain excitedly, and took out a group photo of his family from his arms, and in the middle was his youngest son with leukemia, "Xiaokang, I did it! Dad did it, you have to do it too!"
The little boy who was looking at the live broadcast screen without blinking in the Beijing hospital trembled with excitement, and tears flowed down his eyes.
Such a beautiful view, people are reluctant to leave.
Maybe it's because it's so spectacular that it can't be viewed for a long time.
They had to leave, the time was up.
The way down the mountain is even more dangerous, and many deaths and deaths do not happen on the way up, but on the way down. If they don't leave, maybe some of them will stay here forever!
