……
The professional transport team spends 3~5 hours to go up to the North Col, which refers to the Sherpas and those in the Tibetan mountaineering schools. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
After three hours of climbing the North Col, Chen Ergou had to say that he had no strength at all.
In other words, since joining the mountaineering team, he has temporarily sealed his super physique. But that doesn't mean he has to follow the rules and train with the mountaineering team a little bit.
After coming to the North Col, it was a turning point.
Located at the junction of Mount Everest and Zhangzi Peak, the North Col Camp is a long mountain beam from north to south and short from east to west, all of which are covered with thick snow.
When you arrive at the North Col campsite, your vision will suddenly open up. From here, you can see the majestic north face of Mount Everest to the south, the steep Zhangzi Peak to the north, the Advance Camp (ABC) and several peaks of around 7,000 meters to the east, and the Zhuo Aoyou and the Middle Rongbu Glacier below to the west.
The specific topography of the North Col camp varies slightly from year to year with the change of snow cover. But the overall pattern and characteristics will not change. Chen Ergou's experience was good this night, but the mobile phone signal was finally cut off, even if there was a mobile signal car in the base camp, the signal here could not be covered. That is, he can't make phone calls...... It's terrible for a hormonal budding lad!
In addition, it will be difficult to go to the toilet, you have to take off your pants and poop and be careful not to freeze your little brother, everything has to be solved quickly.
You can see the North Col and the Kangxiong Wall on the east ridge of Everest from ABC, but you can't see the summit, you can do it here!
At this point, the players lost the interest in playing cards, and the extravagant guys had already begun to fall asleep on oxygen when they went to bed at night. Chen Ergou didn't see the Hollywood biker in Beiao that day, he didn't climb up, and I heard that he fell asleep halfway through. It was Mark, who broke his leg when he turned the corner, and after changing one, he actually went up to the North Col, and the speed was not slow. But the price is that he has bronchitis and now speaks hoarsely.
When the live broadcast started early the next morning, he reported a bad thing to the audience, "Last night, another Frenchman suffered from cerebral edema. ”
"He slept at night and woke up in the morning into a coma. This incident made everyone start to worry, and no one wanted to fall asleep on the mountain at night and wake up the next day without knowing what would happen. ”
"But when you climb Mount Notre Dame, you have that risk. More than 400 people here want to storm the top of the mountain, and all the teams are repeatedly training here, waiting for a good weather. ”
"And I'm going to speed up my training process too! From today, I'm going to start studying the weather, Tibetan and Sherpa professional mountaineers can climb the mountains and set up ziplines, and so can I!"
The reason why I say this is because his [Mountaineering] skill has reached LV7 (MAX). He used the last skill point last night to upgrade his [Mountaineering] skill to (C)LV6.
At this level, the upper limit is LV8, and it should be enough for him to train for two more days.
Moreover, after using this skill point, he also completed the side quest naturally.
"Drop, lottery system upgrade!"
When Chen Ergou heard this prompt, his face almost turned black. I thought there was something good waiting for him,
When the sailors were still wondering what he meant by this, he had already decisively negotiated with the team leader.
"You're going to set up a tent with the convoy...... It's no joke, you don't have to do these things. ”
"The local mountaineers are short and sturdy, have evolved to adapt to high altitudes, their hearts function better than people elsewhere, their blood absorbs more oxygen, and their blood is much thicker than that of people in the plains. But even they can easily die in the death zone at minus 40 degrees Celsius, and if they die there, we can only watch them die, you know?"
However, Chen Ergou had already made up his mind and said, "I will do what I can, Team Huang." You can look at me with a telescope from below, and if you think I'm not good enough, or I'm left behind, just let me go down and I'll follow your orders, OK?"
Although his tone was gentle, everyone could see that he was not talking to everyone.
Huang Cong is very opposed to acting alone, and how many acts of disobedience and disrespect have been paid a painful price, because he thought that Chen Ergou was very obedient. But his principle is like this, "Mountaineering, in the final analysis, is a personal matter!" He can't object to this.
"Xiao Chen, do what you can!" Lao Wang patted him on the shoulder.
After all, these tasks have always been done by Sherpas in the past, but now there are mountaineers involved, and everyone is paying more attention.
The next day, the weather was not good, with a force 8 wind blowing on the high mountains, and the wind and snow were wanton.
Before dawn, he was ready to go up the mountain with six local mountaineers. He only had to carry what he needed, because every pound here weighed ten times as much as a mountain. The other six had to carry half their body weight on their backs with oxygen cylinders and several bundles of ropes.
They were to set up camps 2 and 3 in the wind and snow, led by Adrian Bahrain. If the team can set up 4 alpine camps early, the mountaineering team will be able to reach the summit earlier than the other teams.
"Chen Sangou" was the first group of people to pay attention to Chen Ergou, and he also ran across the Great Wall with Chen Ergou at the beginning. When I get up early in the morning, I habitually open my mobile phone and click on the live broadcast room to see the time, at 6 o'clock in the morning, I thought I came early. But when I entered the live broadcast room, I suddenly found that there was already a crowd here.
In the picture, the wind and snow are wanton, and the huge glacier that has not stopped moving for thousands of years is beneath your feet.
"Good morning, dog!"
"What's the situation, why did I climb the mountain so early, did I miss something?"
"Is this going to start the rush?"
"The glacier is spectacular!"
They used to follow the camera and saw the Rongbu Glacier in the middle of the base camp and the forward camp. The icebergs there are wonderfully beautiful and magnificent, and they were once selected as the six "most beautiful glaciers in China" by the "Beauty Pageant China" special edition of "China National Geographic", and the Everest Rongbu Ice Tower Forest ranked first.
Although Chen Ergou has not completely visited all the Rongbu Glaciers, he believes that the huge glaciers at an altitude of more than 7,000 meters are not inferior to the Rongbu Glaciers. In particular, I sighed at the incomparable blue and deep blue color in its white snow peaks, which was a touch of blue and faint green from the depths of the bones.
"In terms of color alone, this is the first glacier I've ever seen!"
Chen Ergou was also interested in photographing the scenery, but he did not show any physical weakness, which made the Sherpas admire. In particular, he never used oxygen.
Among the 100 climbers, about 3~4 do not use oxygen masks, and these people are the outliers among all climbers.
"Chen, head down, step by step!" shouted Adrian Balin.
"Okay, listen to you. ”
He put on his mask again, and used his headset to vaguely explain in the live broadcast room, "Good morning, everyone!"
"I started to leave the team at four o'clock in the morning and train with the team. This is the most difficult place to climb Mount Everest, and it is also the famous 'big wind outlet' of Mount Everest. Even in good weather, there are winds of force 4-5, and in case of bad weather, the wind can blow people directly to the forward camp. ”
"If you look at the snow pattern on this large snow slope, you can see that there is a westerly wind blowing here all year round. You can feel it, the wind speed is ......."
The vast and thick sound of music echoed in the live broadcast room and lingered in the ears of countless audiences.
I couldn't see the sunrise, and as far as I could see, there was a storm of snow hitting a few "small black spots". With the white snowfield on one side and the steep cliffs on the other, they walked on the edge of this "blade", and if they were not careful, they would be blown off the cliff and die. Such a harsh environment makes people gasp.
"Such a dangerous sport, why do you think these people have to climb like they are breaking their heads...... It's a stupid game!"
The audience listened to Chen Ergou's intermittent voice: "...... I can tell you responsibly that the wind speed is still quite small. Usually when you pass through the 'big wind outlet' before noon, the wind here is relatively light, and after noon, the wind suddenly becomes stronger. ”
The bottom of the live broadcast room has also been updated in time, and all the information on mountaineering has been listed, so that the audience has a clear understanding of mountaineering.
From the North Col camp to the summit, the route rope is basically erected all the way. However, there are two options for the camp setting of the climb:
The first plan is to → the summit from the North Col camp → camp 7790 → assault camp (8300).
The second plan is to → the summit from North Col Camp → Camp 7500→ Camp 7900 → Assault Camp (8300).
The advantages of the first plan are: from the North Col to the summit and then retreat to the first camp, a total of 3 days, it is easier to grasp the good weather cycle of Mount Everest, avoid camping at the mouth of the 7500-meter wind, at the same time, the setting of the assault camp will not be too high, and save the transportation and setting up work of a camp.
The disadvantage is also obvious, the journey between each camp is slightly longer, and when attacking the top, you need to climb more than 100 meters more than the height difference of plan 2, which is very physical test.
The advantage of the second option is that the journey between each camp is shorter than that of the first plan, and the physical consumption is slightly less, and when attacking the top, you need to climb more than 100 meters less than the first plan. The disadvantage is that it takes a total of 4 days from the North Col to the summit and then retreats to the first camp, which is susceptible to the weather, and there is a strong wind outlet near Camp 7500, which adds the transportation and setup work of one camp.
Option 1 is often chosen by professional climbers, and domestic commercial teams generally adopt this plan.
The second option is adopted by most foreign commercial teams.
Chen Ergou's current direction is Camp 7790. Camp 7790 meters, to some extent, can also be said to be a transitional camp.
Often, it is a transfer station for mountaineering supplies or a point for climbers to train for highly adaptive commuting.
Camp C3 is 7,900 meters above sea level, and not every mountaineering team will set it up, for example, the Holy Mountain Company has set up Camp 2 at an altitude of 7,790 meters. It's already close to 8,000 meters, and a lot of people start using oxygen here.
Camp 4 is 8,300 meters above sea level and is also known as Assault Camp because it is the last stop before reaching the summit. Climbers do not come here for an overnight stay, but choose to take a short break here and then start their ascent to the summit, which usually starts at 10:00-12:00 p.m.
"How do you feel?" Adrian Balin asked him with concern.
Chen Ergou gave a thumbs up, "I'm fine, no problem!"
Adrian Balin nodded and continued to climb and walk with his head down.
Chen Ergou quietly shouted into the live broadcast room with a headset: "The only trouble is that I am not used to breathing. ”
"But the way to deal with it is also very simple, as long as there is still a breath, you have to breathe desperately, continue to breathe..."
At this moment, there was a sudden explosion on the top of the mountain in front of him, and the entire mountain top was trembled.
"Boom~~~"
It was as if the mountain was angry, and it seemed that the gods had knocked down a large piece of ice wall with a sledgehammer, and the sound was so majestic that it was terrifying. Everyone stopped and looked up overhead.
The audio effect of the live broadcast is also too good, under the "roar of the mountain", the barrage in the live broadcast room instantly cooled down, and it seems that all the audience was frightened by this "roar". Even Chen Ergou and the others were stunned in their hearts, and the dangerous sense of smell made him have goosebumps all over his body. A few anxious Tibetan voices sounded in my ears, to the effect of "Ice avalanche, hurry up and dodge!"
There was also a sudden noise on the radio, and Huang Cong's anxious shouting voice was heard, "Ice collapse, ice collapse, everyone be careful to dodge!" He was below, looking at everyone with a telescope. The other climbers in the North Col were also horrified when they saw the huge ice ball rolling overhead.
When the dog's camera was shot up, and when the picture came into view, everyone instantly couldn't help but hide backwards, until they leaned back on the chair and realized that they were watching the live broadcast.
I saw countless white snowballs of different sizes rumbling down, and a second later, hundreds of thousands of barrages were almost simultaneously swiped.
"I'm grass! Dog, run!"
"Pills, don't dare to look at them. ”
"Why do you want to go to Everest to die, in order to make money and become famous, you are playing yourself to death!
"Tashi Delek, Amitabha Buddha ......"
"Bless ...... Amen......"
