"That's how Chinese ladders work. ”

"Why is the second step still the biggest difficulty when the ladders are all up?"

"Pig's head, because it's 8,700 meters above sea level!"

Call this the biggest difficulty, for a lot of reasons -

In addition, at this time, the team members wore heavy alpine boots on their feet, and crampons were tied to the boots, and they carried oxygen on their backs, which was very cumbersome, and it took more than ten minutes to climb this ladder for those masters.

In the past, the biggest difficulty in climbing Mount Everest was here, not because of the danger, here, everyone's climbing speed is different, as long as one person is slow, it will cause traffic jams.

The temperature is more than minus 30 degrees, and once the traffic is congested, it is not only the loss of oxygen, but also the loss of physical energy and life.

Chen Ergou took pictures of the surrounding scenery with emotion, and said: "The right side of the ridge is the motherland, and the desire to go home here is extremely dangerous, because we are still in danger." Sunlight means the end of the cold, and the threat of sunburn and snow blindness appears. Straight up the ridge, the first ray of light shines in front of the legendary 'Hillary Steps', and in the distance, the ultimate goal - 8,844 meters of Everest. ”

Coming here, it's really "corpses showing the way".

A few glances down, it is clear that a few meters below the road, you can see several corpses piled together, shocking.

"Rustle...... What is the situation in the rear, Lao Chu and I have already come to the second step, ready to climb the ladder. ”

"Xiao Chen Xiao Chen, I'm Langa. The situation was not good, and I was contacted by the South African team leader just now, and our team was too slow and it was clogged in the middle cliff. They want to go around and get through first. What do you think?"

Chen Ergou was silent for a moment and said, "You know it's dangerous, not to mention that I've already come to the Chinese ladder." Once we fall behind, we can stay here for a few hours or more, waiting for others to finish lining up before it's our turn...... I'm not sure about the situation, so I'll go back and pick them up and see how it goes. If you have any questions, just ask them to contact me!"

But Chen Ergou is not inflexible.

If the human dragon does not move, the people behind may not have time to reach the summit and will run out of oxygen. It's dangerous for everyone.

"OK, Roger. ”

Chen Ergou commanded: "Old Chu, you climb the ladder first!"

"Okay. ”

"Be careful. ”

"You should also be careful, keep your strength, don't be reckless!"

Wearing alpine boots, crampons, and down gloves, it's a clumsy thing to climb the second metal ladder. Therefore, when climbing, we should pay attention to the coordination and reasonableness of each action, and use the upper and lower limbs together, and avoid relying too much on the strength of the upper limbs and ignoring the importance of leg and foot support, otherwise it is easy to lose strength.

Even walking on the mountains is as slow as a turtle, let alone climbing a ladder...... Naturally, the speed can't be fast.

It was close to four o'clock in the morning, and the sky was already bright. Soon, he was connected to an English voice access channel and negotiated with Chen Ergou. The situation is not bad, only Lao Qin and Lao Wang are lagging behind. In the second stage, they have multiple oxygen cylinders that can be used by them.

He quickly picked up Huang Cong, Wang Shi and Wang Jing.

Wang Shi came to the Chinese ladder and sighed, "It's really exciting to come here again." Last time, I waited below for more than an hour. ”

Chen Ergou took a picture of the scenery and asked, "What is the summit like?" ”

Wang Shidao: "The peak area is not large, relatively gentle, and none of them have an absolute platform, barely able to stand a dozen people. Actually, I was disappointed after watching it, but after being disappointed once, I still want to watch it again. That's how complex people are. ”

As a mountaineer, Chen Ergou naturally understood the meaning of this sentence, and said: "If you can't understand that people's hearts will feel the challenge of this mountain and have the courage to accept this challenge; if you can't understand that this struggle is the struggle of life itself, upward, and there is no end to the eternal upward struggle, then you will not understand why we are coming!"

Such an answer moved everyone in the live broadcast room and encouraged the teammates around them.

Because the mountains are here, the challenges are here, so the struggle is also here!

Challenge, this is the right of God to the brave, but also a kind of extraordinary call that they feel in the depths of their hearts, they challenge the limit, they challenge themselves, they want to succeed, but they are not afraid of failure!

This is where the word "challenge" comes in.

Wang Jing saw that one person was too slow to climb the mountain, and proposed: "This ladder has been updated, and it can actually withstand many people climbing the mountain together." ”

Chen Ergou looked at Huang Cong, and he also nodded in acknowledgement, "You can climb together with the two of you to save time!" ”

"Okay, Sister Wang, let's follow. ”

Wang Jing started the second climb, and while they were waiting, they also made some arrangements.

Adrian also said something that made people laugh and cry, "You know, there was a very serious brawl here, because there were a few novice Europeans guarding underneath, wrapping ropes around their bodies and not climbing themselves, and not letting others pass. Then the team caught up with the fire and a group of Sherpas surrounded them. ”

Chen Ergou's eyes widened, "Really, fake? I haven't seen the report." ”

Wang Shi said: "It's true, maybe I feel ashamed, I didn't spread it." ”

Chen Ergou shrugged his shoulders and pointed to the camera helplessly, "Okay, I'm going to take the blame, now everyone knows." ”

"Ha~"

Wang Jing let out a short laugh and began to gasp again.

There was also a surprise in the live broadcast room, "Hahaha, the highest altitude brawl in history was exposed today!"

"Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. ”

"Name them, expose them!"

……

In fact, modern mountaineering has developed to this day, and altitude, as a single indicator, is no longer enough to truly reflect the climbing level and strength of mountaineers.

Many say that the world's second-highest peak, Chogoli (K2, 8,611 m), is much more difficult to climb than Everest – if climbing Everest from the traditional route is like climbing a skyscraper up a staircase, climbing Chogoli is like climbing the skyscraper from the outer wall, and is often exposed to wind and snow.

Today, Everest is valued not because of its difficulty, but because it is the highest peak in the world.

When more and more mountaineering customers flock here to achieve their goals by climbing to the top, Everest is not "belittled" because of this, but only those who show the "evil side" of human nature on Everest.

No matter how many people have reached the summit, for those who are not able to climb Mount Everest on their own, Mount Everest will always be a great mountain - it is a mirror, a "mirror of demons", where all human nature will be fully magnified and revealed.

The mountain is there, it doesn't matter if you climb it or not.

There is no point in denigrating.

There's scum everywhere, isn't it.
