Section 1122 Hardship

At first, I had the impression that he looked like a boy under 20 years old, the youngest of all the tall, thin, tall and thin, but wearing a fat shirt and army green pants, and it was this boy who would use his body temperature to put Yunluo to sleep two nights later. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 InfoOne of the 4 porters, all Yunluo's impression of him is a pair of special and large yellow boots!
There are two fundamental differences between the guides of Kilimanjaro and others: 1. The English of the guides is very good, and they need to pass a special English test to become a guide, and only those who pass the test can become a guide, 2. Each guide will have at least one summit experience, and those who meet these two conditions will become a real guide and get a guide certificate.
Tea time, the waiter has set the table in advanceEvery day, except for Frank, everyone else will arrive at the camp earlier than Yunluo, set up 4 tents - the tent where Yunluo sleeps, the tent that eats, the tent that serves as a kitchen, and the tent where Frank sleeps, and then the porter has to go to the nearby to fetch water.
The cooker prepares afternoon tea for Yunluo, and the waiter lays out the sleeping bag for Yunluo to enjoy the warm afternoon tea in Yunluo before they start cooking their own lunch.
On the first day, Yunluo didn't realize their hard work, but just learned about their division of labor from Frank's mouth, and Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo's daily schedule.
The first day of mountaineering was a very painful day for Yunluo, the fatigue of the body was not a touch, and the collapse was that he was covered in sweat and his hair was soaked, but he couldn't take a bath! In addition, the air in the mountains is humid, and the clothes are sticky to the body all the time. Wet and cool. At that time, how much Yunluo longed to rise to a high altitude as soon as possible!
Maybe the temperature is low, and the clouds won't sweat so much! It's just that Yunluo never expected that in a place with low temperatures, there are more painful things waiting for Yunluo. In this way, in the ** who desperately wanted to take a bath, with the extreme fatigue of not adapting to the environment, Yunluo quickly fell asleep.
At 2 o'clock in the middle of the night, I was awakened by freezing, although I was wearing 4 pairs of fleece pants, my hands and feet were cold, I couldn't sleep anyway when I curled up, I insisted on lying down until 5 o'clock in a daze, and finally heard the sound of someone walking outside. In fact, lying down with a shivering body is a particularly painful thing, and it seems that only the breath exhaled from the nostrils is warm, and I stayed up for a while.
When it was finally dawn, I quickly climbed out of the tent, ran to the kitchen tent, and got in! The four porters were already inside, surrounded by a small gas canister, and there was a basin of hot water boiling on the gas canister, which was water for Yunluo, washing his face, brushing his teeth, and drinking it Yunluo's frozen nails were already purple, and his hands were a little stiff.
I really don't want to touch the water, even if it is hot water, if it gets on my hands, the mountain wind blows, and it is biting cold. Yunluo decided at that time that he would not wash his face for a few days in the future! Yunluo only brushes his teeth!
At 7:30 a.m., the waiter prepared a breakfast of Yunluo. A plate of mangoes and bananas, a small bowl of gooey boiled cereal, two slices of bread and omelet fried in butter, and hot milk and hot chocolate. Yunluo has always been a picky eater and eats a fine meal, but Yunluo has not eaten boiled cereal, so he is really not used to it.
The hot chocolate is so thick that you pour the whole box of chocolate powder into it! Mountaineering consumes a lot, always feels hungry, and Yunluo needs high-calorie things!
At 8 o'clock, Yunluo and Frank set off first, and the porters packed up their equipment and set off later than Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo. This tour guide is really handsome, looking at Lili Suosuo, and he is also spiritual, how to look better than Frank.
Yunluo insisted on keeping the camera away. I want to record precious fragments of time. With the experience of the first day, Yunluo put only the most necessary things in the backpack: water, lunch, sunglasses, sunscreen.
Kilimanjaro, which means "shining mountain" in Swahili, is located in northeastern Tanzania and about 160 kilometers south of the Great Rift Valley, and is the highest peak in Africa and a volcanic mound. It is mainly composed of three extinct volcanoes, Kibo, Mavinsi and Sheila, and is the highest point in Africa. It is known as the "Roof of Africa".
This equatorial snow-capped peak is covered with snow and ice all year round, and the mountain is surrounded by jungle and rich in species. This time I had an idea to use my camera to record the different plants at different altitudes on the mountain.
Above 2,000 meters above sea level, plant species begin to change.
Halfway up the mountain, looking back, the second highest peak in Africa under the clouds, Mount Kenya.
American mountaineer, seeing that he is quite well-equipped, and the oxygen device on his chest is an oxygen device. There are so many Americans here, and there is even a mountaineering team of about 15 people, and everyone is equipped with such equipment. There are not many people in Asia who have come to climb mountains like Yunluo in history. That's why.
This group of climbers who choose the Machame route knows that there is a Hua Guo named Snow who climbed to the top of Africa alone. But they didn't know that Yunluo didn't come alone without an appointment, hehe.
Yunluo also took photos with the second highest peak in Africa as the background! At this time, Yunluo didn't know that Yunluo had been severely sunburned, looking at Yunluo's face.
Tony from the United States. Passionate about outdoor sports, like Yunluo, he doesn't need oxygen, no trekking poles, he always arrives at the camp the fastest every day, almost catching up with Kilimanjaro's professional porter! Bouncing forward, it's like a monkey! It's the strongest mountaineer that Yunluo has ever seen.
Yunluo is very proud! Yunluo does not absorb oxygen, does not use trekking poles, and climbs completely with bare hands! But together with these big men behind him, on the top of Africa, he challenged his will, physical fitness, and courage Yunluo never liked the saying "conquering such and such a mountain"! Nature will never be conquered by some kind of creature, Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo are just in the natural environment of evil strategy.
Brave to move forward, challenge your physical limits, and overcome your fragile will is not so much about conquering nature as it is about conquering Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo herself.
This one looks like a pineapple! Many photos of climbing Kilimanjaro have this plant. The temperature is about 10 degrees Celsius and the temperature drops by 6 degrees Celsius for every 1,000 meters above sea level. Mountaineering physical exertion is very large, climbing the mountain sweating, as soon as you stop, the mountain wind cold blows, the whole person fights a cold shudder. It's time for lunch.
Look at the big cucumbers in Tanzania! And baby carrots! The ripening of the cucumber is much more delicious than that of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, and the cucumber seeds are very ripe and a little sweet. Carrots are small, crunchy and sweet.
Gobble up. In this place, only by sleeping in the wilderness, you can rely on your own hands and feet to get close to the goal, and the clouds that completely belong to nature are completely natural! Yunluo has to learn to be strong! Strange African eggs with white yolks.
Along the way, I occasionally met people on the same road, probably thinking that Yunluo was alone, and these kind people would sincerely invite Yunluo to dinner or go with him. Look at the two behind Yunluo, they are also Americans, and that bearded man is quite stylish! He invited Yunluo to dinner for two days in a row, but Frank refused to do so.
Yunluo was very angry, but Yunluo didn't want to make the relationship with Frank too stiff, after all, he still had to go with him every day. This is a person's journey, Yunluo must learn to be patient, and he can't lose his temper casually in a wayward manner.
At 3 p.m., the cooker was cooking the porter's lunch. Every day when they arrived at the camp, Yunluo always liked to squeeze into their tent, because it was very warm, and several people were huddled together, and the gas stove was lit to drive away the cold.
Yunluo watched this Tanzanian man cook, learn their craft! Throw some butter at the bottom of the pan, wait for the butter to melt away, throw in the chopped onions, tomatoes, take out a piece of beef shank, cut the meat into a bowl and put it aside, cut the bones and tendons into the pan, and turn over the bottom of the pan.
Pour in a pot of water and finally pour in a lot of raw rice. Boiling ~~~ The greedy Yunluo but he didn't give Yunluo to eat, he said that Yunluo couldn't chew those beef tendons, and the beef in the bowl was Yunluo's dinner.
In fact, for people in the city, this kind of food is really nothing, and some people may feel dirty and sick to their stomachs. However, in that environment, Yunluo's instinct is only to survive. Yunluo has witnessed the daily road, steep and muddy, full of stones, and in many places, Yunluo needs to use his hands to climb.
And they, these porters of Kilimanjaro, relied only on their legs and feet! On their backs is a tent! All food and drinks for 6 days for 8 people! It's a gas stove! Everything here is soaked in the bitter sweat of Kilimanjaro's porters! What reason does Yunluo have to be squeamish? What reason is there to dislike it?
For simple brushing dishes, water comes from the back, which is very precious, and it is basically brushed with water and then dried with a cloth. Yunluo is not too dirty. It's such a cold place, the water is cold, his hands must be cold
Thick clouds obscured the last rays of the setting sun, and another cold night dawned in Kilimanjaro.
At 3 o'clock in the evening, Yunluo was once again tormented by the bone-chilling cold and couldn't sleep. Curled up in his sleeping bag, clenched into his fists, trying to keep what little bit of body temperature he had from spreading.
However, his body was as cold as a stone, and Yunluo couldn't even feel that he was alive! Yunluo even tried to hide his nose like a dog, Yunluo felt that he was really frozen at that time, Yunluo really wanted to go home! It's true! Yunluo was most afraid of the cold, but he didn't expect to just escape from winter.
And he ran to the snowy mountains of Africa to suffer! Which tendon is wrong for Yunluo! Yunluo wants to take a bath! Yunluo wants a heated house! Yunluo wants a soft bed! It's really strange that Yunluo's face and neck are so hot and painful, like tens of thousands of tiny needles pricking! Oh, my God! Terrible sunburn! 5 points.
Yunluo couldn't lie down anymore, his head was dizzy, he climbed out of the tent, took the camera and walked around, the sun slowly rose, and looked! The pink glow fills the sky! This is the sunrise on the top of Africa!
On the other side of the sky, it is an alluring peach! Mount Kenya, Africa's second highest peak, is now completely shrouded in a misty glow. As the sun rises, the color of the sky turns blue, and the pink glow fades into orange-red, still covering the African landscape.
At 7 o'clock, the sky is blue! Today's itinerary is to climb from 3,800 meters above sea level, ascend to 4,600 meters above sea level, and then return to 3,900 meters to camp, this arrangement is to allow climbers to adapt to the high altitude. From today onwards, there should be someone who is rebellious. Fortunately, Yunluo has no symptoms for the time being.
But Yunluo can't go without sleep at night anymore, he has to think of a way! Only with a good mental state can we not be rebellious. I have been tired, sleepy and frozen for the past two days, and it will definitely not work if I go on like this.
The road up the hill became more and more difficult, and after a flat period was followed by a steep climb.
There was a long way without a photograph because the rain was falling clearly. What's even more tragic is that in order to lighten the load, Yunluo didn't bring a raincoat! After nearly 3 hours of rain climbing, the soles of my feet slipped and I fell on the rocks, which was really embarrassing.
The hair was messy on his forehead, and the rain was muddy along his eyelashes, and at that moment, the clouds were covered with mud all over his pants, and his hair was soaked again, only this time it was not sweat, but rain
"When you are in the sea of swords and fire, just move forward." -- Wingilton Churchill
In order to hurry, you must move forward! Frank's raincoat was his own, and Yunluo's embarrassed appearance was caused by Yunluo's own fault, so he had to bear the burden of climbing in the rubble pile with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and as the altitude rose, Yunluo began to pant and walk in a hurry, and even had to open his mouth to breathe.
Like a fish out of the water, struggling to get more oxygen Frank basically stopped giving Yunluo any help after being rejected by Yunluo on the first day, he walked far ahead of Yunluo, chatting with other guides Tianyunluo gritted his teeth and insisted, desperately trying to keep up with him, and kept telling himself that Yunluo was strong, and Yunluo was so tenacious that he was like Kilimanjaro's little weed!
How much rain will pass! The sky will still be blue.
After the rain, the sky is clear, under the sun, the equatorial snow peak reflects a dazzling silver light, sometimes the clouds and mist are shrouded, the crystal snow peak, like a shy girl, flashing bright eyes and falling clouds have to sigh the magic of this land! On the blazing equator of the earth, there is such a volcano covered with snow all year round.
Very hungry and cold, I can no longer move my feet and grasp the chicken legs, sitting on the cold stone in the cold wind at an altitude of 4,600 meters, the clouds fall only the most primitive desire of living beings. At an altitude of 4,600 meters above sea level at the equator of the earth, there is a cold wind, a cold drink, and a cold stone
It seems that the porter is also drenched in the rain, and when he went to the camp to dry Yunluo even took this, Yunluo felt bored again.
Find the camp of Nalan Shiqi and Yunluo, quickly squeeze into the porter's tent, sit around with them, roast the fire, spread his hair, and start to feel warm on his body.
At 5 o'clock, it was dark, the day of extreme physical exhaustion was over, Yunluo was drenched in rain, cold, tired, sleepy and tormented Yunluo really wanted to find a warm place to fall asleep! r1152
