Chapter 428 [Small Target, First in North Col]
When Chen Ergou ran over, he had already seen four people carrying a stretcher, lifting a white man and running quickly down the mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What's going on?"
Chen Ergou asked Chu Nan Guyue, whose face was pale.
Chu Nan Guyue said solemnly: "Very serious mountain sickness, it may be a rupture of the appendix or internal organs, his condition deteriorated very quickly, and it only took ten minutes for him to lie down on his side. There is no medical condition here, and no matter how clever the doctor is, it is just a decoration, and he must be sent down the mountain as soon as possible. Xiao Chen, don't go over, he may have a spread infection, and his blood pressure drops quickly, and what awaits him may be death. ”
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings immediately quieted down, and Chen Ergou also stopped his mentality of wanting to show the audience the excitement, and only shot from a distance.
At this moment, all the climbers saw with their own eyes that in the battle for the summit, Our Lady of Peak would never show mercy.
In the days that followed, some people caught colds and fell ill one after another, including Wang Jing, Wang Jian, Qingtian and others, who began to have cough symptoms, and their bodies were not optimistic. Chen Ergou's team also adds a new job every day, physical examination!
Some people are unlucky, and naturally some people are still happy haha.
Tim's hometown is in Hollywood, specializing in custom-made Harley-Davidson motorcycles for rich celebrities, and after getting acquainted with Chen Ergou, he enthusiastically took out a photo to show the audience in front of the camera, "Look, this is my ex-girlfriend, isn't it hot." ”
In the photo, he is wearing a cowboy hat and holding a rather beautiful three-point girl.
The most conspicuous thing is a pair of huge murder weapons on the chest, as well as the willow waist and bright red lips. This hot figure made the audience in the live broadcast room whistle-
An uncle in his forties and fifties is still looking for such a beautiful little sister. ”
"What a big oceanic horse. ”
"Hurry up and wield the hoe, as long as the hoe digs deep, there is no corner of the wall and it can't be dug down!"
"Dig up a ghost, I said that it was my ex-girlfriend, and I wanted our dog to break his shoes. ”
Then I saw Tim flip through the photo, and a photo of Mount Everest appeared on the reverse side, "This is my new girlfriend, haha, I dream about it every night now." ”
Chen Ergou rolled his eyes, "That's because you can't sleep well, uncle!"
……
Tim is optimistic, and while his spirit is suitable for mountaineering, his physique is not. Unlike Sherpas, who are short and sturdy, with a height of 187 and a physique like a bear, it would be very difficult to climb a mountain of this size.
Of course, Chen Ergou's physique is the same problem, but fortunately, he is the best among them, and he is not as unlucky as Tim.
Tim told him that he had been having some metal parts on his bike ever since his motorcycle accident: "I have a metal plate and 10 nails on my left side of my head, and I have a metal plate on my right side, and I have a metal plate on my left knee from here to here, and I have 10 nails on my left calf, and I have a metal frame on my lower back." X-rays of my back, which look like metal wastebaskets. The doctor suggested I play golf and I'm just coming here, haha!"
“=/=”
This kind of person is still worthy of admiration.
After a few days, because he was proficient in many Chinese languages and had the legendary experience of treasure and wealth, many people knew him in this forward camp.
It's like a United Nations, where people from all countries, people of different colors and creeds come together because of the same mountaineering dream.
Although the place is not beaten, it is a real small society, there are beautiful, natural and ugly, and everyone plays their own role here. In the hearts of some people, after coming here, the moral bottom line will be even thinner than air, but mountaineering is their own business, and who can complain.
Only Mount Everest, always high up silently watching everything.
……
"The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first."
It is said that perfect planning, thoughtful logistics, sufficient mentality, and enough time are indispensable elements for reaching the top!
Because the time is approaching the end of the month, if you delay it any longer, you will miss the peak season.
Time is running out to wait for a team on the south slope that a team of British climbers Kenton Cool and his companion Robert Lucas and two Sherpa guides have successfully completed the summit, becoming the first team to reach the summit this spring.
This greatly encouraged all the climbers, and after three days of repair, Chen Ergou's team also repaired, and all supplies were ready, and finally decided to continue the mountaineering training.
This time I'm going to camp C1 to train.
To get to North Col C1 Camp, you have to go through a great environmental change, because the altitude increases, the difficulty is naturally higher.
Because of the good weather, many teams chose to go up today. Maybe it was too long to rest and only half a mile out of the camp when someone struggled to walk: Tim, a Los Angeles biker man who had a metal support for his damaged back.
But no one could help him up the mountain except his guide.
The climbing team continued to climb upwards and the queue grew longer and longer, stretching for kilometers in the uneven snow.
According to incomplete statistics, starting from May 11, a total of at least 400 climbers and mountain guides in China and Nepal will hit the peak. This means that if everyone chooses to reach the summit on the same day, there will be a serious "traffic jam".
"I hope God will be beautiful!" Huang Cong said worriedly.
Chen Ergou looked up at the sky, and the majestic Mount Everest seemed even bigger at this moment.
"Is there any signal?" Huang Cong asked suddenly.
"What?" Chen Ergou followed his gaze and glanced at the camera beside him, "It's okay, maybe the signal will be weak if you go up a little more." ”
"That's good. Huang Cong said: "Xiao Chen, your physical strength is obviously better than ours, and you are also very prepared. Don't wait for us to move forward together, although we are a team, this is also your own mountaineering journey after all. Got it?"
Chen Ergou was slightly silent, his expression was quite solemn, and said, "It's okay, then I'll go first." ”
"Go ahead, be careful!"
Travel lightly all the way, move forward quickly, and soon come to the first sequence of the team!
The forward camp and the North Col camp are not far in a straight line, and it is difficult to climb.
And that piece of ice wall in the North Col.
Not far from the advance camp, at an altitude of about 6,580 meters, it is the place to change ice and snow equipment, which is the so-called crampon point, Chen Ergou took out the crampons for the first time and put them under his feet. Speaking to the camera, he said: "This is the last piece of hard land, and crampons are used to walk on the ice. The twelve-clawed crampons will effectively increase the friction I only see with the ice. ”
After putting on the gear, aim the camera overhead, a cold white mist drifts, and the top of Mount Everest disappears from time to time.
"What a tall mountain, friends, I'm going up!"
After that, he set out on the journey again.
The feet are completely snow-white, and the black rocks are becoming less and less visible. This is a glacier, and it is very difficult to get to the bottom of the ice cliff just by crossing the flat glacier. The whole way was full of the crunching sound of feet stepping on the ice and snow, so real, so real that it was terrifying.
Even if there is still a lively dog day in the city, the whole body is cold by this picture.
Occasionally, when I look back, the distance between people is gradually widening, and they are dragging and dragging on the snow, like black ants on a snow-white field. The camera zooms out, and when you look down from the sky, humans look even smaller.
Lonely upward climbing, never stop under your feet!
I don't know when, a classic BGM was played again in the live broadcast room, which instantly made some old viewers resound the scene of walking on the DXAL ice lake, which made people unconsciously sink into the depression of the vast Mount Everest.
It was that "The-Revenant" that employs electronic, minimalist melodies and natural sounds that blend into the atmosphere. It fits the environment of fighting with heaven and earth at this moment, so that the audience can deeply bring into the environment of climbing Mount Everest.
The long note of the poignant cello, like the footsteps of the Grim Reaper, and the short accent in the music are marked with the knock of the Grim Reaper......
At this moment, the world is vast, and my heart is leisurely.
"Dog, come on!"
"It's scary...... Come on. ”
"Strong, I'm a big Everest!"
"This is Mount Everest, once upon a time I thought about going there in my lifetime, but now it seems that I may have to stop eating when I get there!"
Chen Ergou's eyes and the bridge of his nose were completely under the fur hat, only his mouth and nostrils were left to breathe, some of his beard was covered with white frost, and the air in his mouth turned white when he exhaled, he took out the kettle and took a few sips, and took the opportunity to explain to the camera: "Friends, I may not be able to worry about everyone when climbing the mountain, please forgive me." The altitude gradually made it difficult for me to breathe, which made my nasal lining and throat very dry. The only thing I can do is keep going. ”
"Do you see the cliff in front of you, we are already in front of the ice wall, which is 6,640 meters above sea level. ”
"The North Col ice wall, starting at about 6,640 meters and with a total elevation difference of nearly 400 meters, is the focus of this segment of the trip. ”
"Strictly speaking, the North Col Ice Wall should be called a 'snow wall'. It is mainly formed by the continuous melting and compression of perennial snow, unlike the water ice that is commonly seen at low altitudes and frozen by waterfalls. ”
"The characteristic of this kind of place is that it is not as dense as ice, and the viscosity is better, so it is easy to kick in crampons. As he spoke, he kicked hard, clanged, and the crampons clung firmly to the snow wall.
Because of commercial mountaineering, every year during the climbing season, each climbing team will coordinate and cooperate to set up a route rope on the ice wall of the North Col in advance. This greatly reduces the risk of climbers getting lost.
If there is a strong wind, or if it snows and you can't see the road, you can follow the route rope all the way back. Rao is so, the current North Col ice wall still brings people the greatest impact, this is the first perspective, showing the magnificence of the ice and snow wall.
And the reason why the live broadcast is so attractive is because of such a strong sense of substitution, so that people who will never be able to come here can feel the cruelty of Mount Everest!
"The North Col Ice Wall is the only way to climb Mount Everest, whether it is the South Peak or the North Peak, you have to pass through here. ”
"The ice walls are harder and more difficult to climb when there is less snowfall, and it is not a problem to climb when there is a lot of snowfall, but there is a risk of ice avalanches. Therefore, when we climb, we mostly take a zigzag route, and most of the slopes are about 50 degrees. ”
"I set a small goal for myself, I want to be the first to climb the North Col today!"
"Alright, let's climb!"
……
"666, it's really a small target!"
"Come on, the first place in North Col is you. ”
