Chapter 424 [Anaerobic Peak Climbing (Four Watches)]

"I'm so sad!"

Huang Cong's face was sad, this strong man over forty years old usually spoke neatly and generously, but now he stammered even when he spoke, his eyes were red, and he was obviously crying. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

"Guys, this Sherpa suffered from altitude sickness when he was carrying supplies to the forward camp at an altitude of 6,500 meters in front of him, and he unfortunately left this world because he found it too late. I hired the young Sherpa to work at the Holy Mountain Company, and even though he doesn't speak Chinese well, he always has a smile on his face. He followed his fellow villagers up the mountain, just wanting to earn some living expenses with his own labor, so I hired him. However, I didn't expect ...... We have ...... Sorry, we cremated him and sent his ashes home, which is considered to be his funeral. ”

"Hoo ......"

He let out a sigh of relief, "Everyone should complete the mountain journey safely, don't stay in the tent too often, and walk around the neighborhood as often, right?" Although I have disposed of many corpses, the death of my staff is the most sad for me. …… I need to brace myself. He couldn't go any longer, nodded and walked out.

Everyone couldn't stand the oppressive atmosphere and walked out of the tent one after another.

Chen Ergou walked out of the tent with Appa, and he didn't expect to encounter such a thing.

Looking up at the blue sky and Mount Everest, who still had an alpaca hairstyle, he put his sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and let out a long breath before he said to the camera: "This kind of thing happened at the beginning, and everyone felt uncomfortable." It's so unfortunate that there are Sherpas who have died. …… I was quite surprised by this, knowing that they were here...... It's for us. ”

And the strong and respected Team Leader Huang also cried, seeing everyone grieving. ”

"This incident has made me more humble. ”

Huang Cong was very sad, and the team work was temporarily replaced by Wang Shi.

He began to work with the liaison officer, Bai Ma Chilie, to get all the supplies up the mountain, and those oxygen cylinders needed to be weighed with scales.

Teams of yaks dragged heavy loads up the hill and carried garbage down the mountain.

Chen Ergou took Appa and also followed to help, enjoying the unique lifestyle of the base camp. He met a long-haired climber from Australia named Mark Ingels.

When he reached the summit of Mount Everest, he had to face extraordinary challenges, and no matter how strong he was, everyone in this base camp respected him very much.

"Chen, do you know?"

He said with a worried face, "The situation is not optimistic this time. ”

"Although because of an earthquake nearby a few days ago, some timid people gave up climbing this year. But this year, there are still 51 mountaineering teams with a total of more than 400 people coming to the base camp, and everyone is fighting for the opportunity to reach the top. It's not the most lively ever, but it's the number one in line. Many people believe that something will definitely happen to the summit this time. ”

"I don't want to say these touchy words. But I have a hunch that something bad will happen this year because there are so many people going up the mountain. ”

Chen Ergou was silent, and only after a while did he squeeze out a smile and give Mark a hug, "Don't think nonsense, be careful, you'll be fine." ”

Mark nodded, "Thank you!" and walked away with his cane and carbon fiber prosthetics.

In the live broadcast room, there was a film of "666" and the word "admiration".

That's right, this is a mountaineer with both legs amputated. More than 20 years ago, because of the pre-risk of mountaineering, both legs were amputated by frostbite. Most people who had both legs amputated would have had difficulty climbing stairs from now on, but he was determined to be the first amputee to climb to the summit of Mount Everest.

"Brave!"

……

The conquest of Mount Everest is like a battle, and the logistics of leading the summit are extremely cumbersome.

The weight of the backpack carried by everyone must be accurate to "grams". But climbing Mount Everest is still a life-threatening gamble.

Wang Shi also took the time to tell the audience about the experience of the last summit, "If you want to climb Mount Everest, it is indeed very dangerous. Those who want to come must make up their minds. It's hard and dangerous, unlike walking in the park, where you can die at any moment. No one can predict what problems this sacred mountain will throw at us next. I was scared every second, not knowing how the weather would change, or if I would get sick or who would fall and break their leg and not be able to go down...... There are so many things that can happen. ”

In the evening of the same day, a blessing ceremony was held at the base camp.

I heard that on the south side of the mountain, the Sherpas would never go up the mountain unless they held a French ceremony. But this time, all the team members participated, especially Chen Ergou's personal guide Apa, who was very religious.

Huang Cong quickly calmed down and reorganized his mountaineering work.

Chen Ergou also started the training he planned and proposed this plan to the mountaineering team.

"What, you're not going to use oxygen?" Huang Cong looked stunned.

Chen Ergou nodded and said, "Yes, I have never had experience using oxygen, so it's better not to use it." It's even worse if you run out of stuff when you reach the top. From today onwards, all my training will be adapted to the method of anaerobic climbing. ”

As soon as this decision came out, everyone was surprised!

The so-called anaerobic mountaineering means that you do not carry an oxygen cylinder to climb the mountain.

Since 1978, when the Italian Messner first climbed Mount Everest without oxygen, more than 100 climbers around the world have successfully reached the summit without oxygen, but there are no Chinese.

Even Wang Shi persuaded him: "Xiao Chen, do you know how difficult it is to climb the mountain without oxygen?"

"The area above 8,000 meters above sea level is called a forbidden area for humans, and the amount of oxygen in the air at that altitude is only 2/5 of that of the plains. Anaerobic climbers not only need to overcome the cold, lack of oxygen and physical bottlenecks, but more importantly, they need to concentrate. Any small distraction can make you feel like you need more oxygen. ”

Chen Ergou had a good reason to do this, and politely refused everyone's persuasion, saying: "If the strength is not good in the end, I will give up reaching the top!"

"So I can't go with everyone these days, and I have to carry out adaptive mountaineering training in advance to make up for the previous shortcomings. ”

On the same day, the news that Chen Ergou decided to climb Mount Everest without oxygen had already spread on the Internet. The reaction on the Internet is mixed, which will undoubtedly increase the difficulty and may lead to the failure of the summit of Mount Everest and even the danger of life. But if it succeeds, he will be the first person in China to climb Mount Everest without oxygen!

However, the disturbances from the outside world have nothing to do with Chen Ergou.

The next day, it was the third day he came to Mount Everest!

At three o'clock in the morning that day, he set off by helicopter with Apa and a backpack, and launched the first training list.

His plan is very sound, 5000+ nearby peaks to climb (referring to those that do not use ice climbing and ropes), you can choose Kilimanjaro, Si Girl 2 Peaks, Haba Snow Mountain, so that you will have a basic understanding of climbing snow mountains, and at the same time have a clear understanding of your body and equipment.

However, he took his training very seriously, and Appa also shared his mountaineering experience. The happiest thing is that his [Mountaineering] skill experience bar is slowly moving towards LV6.

Towering snow-capped peaks, vast and endless.

The camera looks down from the sky, and the two backpackers are like two black ants, struggling to move up in the vast expanse.

As it turned out, the 5,000-meter mountain did not hinder him.

On this day, he successfully reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro and returned to the base camp by 2 p.m.

On the fourth day of Mount Everest, he successfully challenged the Four Girls 2 Peaks again and returned to the base camp before 2 p.m. The [Mountaineering] skill has been successfully upgraded to LV6, and the current full level.

That night, he did not hesitate to add 1 of the remaining two skill points to the [Mountaineering] skill, and turned it into [Mountaineering] (D) LV5.

On the fifth day of Mount Everest, he conquered the Haba Snow Mountain at an altitude of 5,396 meters and upgraded his skills to LV6.

The successive conquests of the peaks have also boosted the morale of the sailors, and there are more voices of support.

It was also the last day of the base camp, and the team spent a week preparing and is ready to go.

"Climbed three peaks in three days", and when he returned, he was warmly received by the team members.

Chen Ergou was embarrassed, "It's nothing, none of them are more than 5,000 meters above sea level, but I think." I'm ready for a higher challenge. ”

There is a famous saying in the mountaineering world: "Why climb the mountain? Because the mountain is there." ”

Chen Ergou had a different answer to the same question: "I climbed the mountain because of ......"

At night, lying in the bubble tent, he took out his mobile phone and found many unread calls, as well as many text messages. After reading a text message from Master Li, he called back, but no one answered, thinking that he was resting. Call Muyi Xiaomi's phone......

There were eight rings and no one answered, and I thought I was asleep, but the next moment I was answered.

"Why are you calling me so late, I've just taken a shower. ”

"Take a bath?" Chen Ergou was very sensitive now, "Can you not say this word!"

"Cut, you must stink. Hahaha, do you have lice on your head? ”

"How is that possible! Bathing in the snow is the same. Suddenly, he heard the sound of water, "Hey, you're really taking a bath." ”

"Of course, it's good to lie to you. ”

Chen Ergou rubbed his nose, "I don't believe it, unless you send a photo to ......"

"......" ellipsis followed by a string of small expressions of contempt. "I want to see your family, Master Li. ”

"Please, I want to chase her, but I'm not there yet. Chen Ergou was also very helpless, "I don't know if you often joke with her like this, and now she doesn't pay much attention to me." ”

"Blame me~"

Mu Yi Xiaomi was not angry, "You can't get through with your own mobile phone, and you can't see each other once in a few months, so you still want to chase girls, dream." You think no one wants her. ”

"What, someone is chasing her?"

"Cut!"

There was no movement for a long time, Chen Ergou tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, and suffered from gains and losses in his heart. Turned out Master Li's phone number, wrote a large text message, and was about to send it, when suddenly a series of "Dididi" message prompts came.

As soon as the phone shook, he pressed the wrong button and clicked on the message, and all the content he had just written was invalid.

was annoyed and found that it was Mu Yi Xiaomi who sent a dozen private photos.

I saw a girl in a white bathrobe under the hazy light, and under the tender white skin, a spring light loomed. "Good figure!" he suddenly couldn't sleep.

The next day, the whole team set out from the base camp and first arrived at the transition camp of 5800.

It probably took more than 6 hours to get from 5800 to 6000, and the only thing he felt was that it was very hard!

5800 to 6000 Don't look at the short 200 meters straight up the elevation, but keep going uphill and downhill, to be honest, at that time, when I saw the slope, I was worried.
