Chapter 135: Falling off a cliff
After walking for nearly three days, they finally walked out of this dense broad-leaved forest at about four o'clock in the afternoon of the third day, and came to the edge of a cliff and abyss.
This cliff is very deep, and below it is a small stream with a very shallow current. Wang Lihong stood on the edge of the cliff and looked down, and exclaimed, "I'm going to go, it's so high." Wang Lihong visually measured it, and it was about more than 100 meters deep.
"Huang Dong, shouldn't we be going from here to there?" Wang Lihong looked at the abyss of the canyon that was forty or fifty meters long, and asked Huang Qirui.
Huang Qirui nodded and said, "That's right, you can only go here if you want to get there." ”
Wang Lihong felt that this was a bit dangerous, looked left and right, and asked: "Isn't there any other suspension bridge or something, or other passages or something, how can this pass, you won't have to climb down from here, and then climb up to that side." ”
Ah Biao had already untied all the sad equipment bags, took out a large circle of rope from one of the bags, and said while preparing: "Brother, you really said it." ”
After Ah Biao said this, he untied the rope, tied it to a mounting iron buckle on his head, and then tied it to the trunk of a big tree ten meters away from the cliff, and then found another section of the rope in this circle, and slowly tied all the equipment and everything.
"Hey, brother, is this rope so thin that it can withstand the weight of so many of us?" Wang Lihong saw the bundle of rope that Ah Wei took out, no matter how you look at it, it will not exceed a diameter of about one centimeter, Wang Lihong is really not at ease with such a thin rope.
Seeing Wang Lihong ask, Ah Wei said with a smile: "Brother, it seems that you haven't played some extreme sports." This kind of mountaineering power rope is very powerful, don't look at it so thin, it can almost withstand the gravity of 18 to 2,000 catties, and the sum of several of us will not exceed 1,000 catties. You can rest assured. ”
The rope used for mountaineering is very particular, generally speaking, mountaineering rope is divided into two types: power rope and static rope. The power rope, simply put, is slightly contracted and elastic, this kind of rope is used for rock climbing, climbing, descending or bungee jumping and other activities, it relies on the contraction and extension of the rope to buffer and absorb some energy.
But the static rope doesn't believe it, and the static rope basically has no shrinkage. This kind of rope can never be used for the above extreme high-risk sports, if you use this rope to play extreme sports. That would be death. This kind of rope is generally used to explore the mouth of the cave, work at height, trace the river and climb, and put down the ties in daily life.
Although Ah Wei said very confidently, Wang Lihong was still a little weak-hearted, after all, he had never played this kind of activity, but it was more than 100 meters high here, and Nima really fell down, and he must be hanging. Touch the finger-sized piece of rope with your hand. It's really getting more and more frightening.
Emily saw that Wang Lihong was stunned, so she walked to his side and whispered, "Brother, don't be afraid, I'll go down first later." If you do fall, I'll fly up below and catch you, and make sure nothing happens to you. ”
Wang Lihong heard Emily's comfort, and her heart suddenly felt a lot more relieved. Then he asked again: "Hey, I've recently gained a few pounds of meat, and you caught it." But can you hold it? ”
Emily glanced at her coldly and said unhappily, "Cut, you are underestimating people." ”
Huang Qirui was holding a military telescope and was observing the situation on the other side, then looked into the distance, walked to Wang Lihong's side, and said directly to an extremely distant snow-capped mountain in front of him: "Lihong, do you see that mountain, that is where we are going." ”
Wang Lihong looked at the place Huang Qirui pointed to, smiled and said, "It seems that it is not far away, it is just ahead." ”
Huang Qirui was stunned for a moment, and then added: "I'm talking about the highest snow-capped mountain behind it." ”
"Damn, it's that far away." It turned out that Wang Lihong was wrong, he thought it was the green and secluded mountain behind the mountain on the other side of this cliff, who knew that it was the snow-capped mountain behind and behind it, and the distance between this Nima was too far.
Just when Wang Lihong and Huang Qirui were discussing some issues, Tietou and Ah Biao had already begun to tie the knot, which is also a very particular course, and many mountaineering or climbing sports have caused a tragedy because of the problem of the knot.
Half knot plus double fishing knot. This method is the best option for connecting two ropes, as it is easier to untie after bearing weight.
Double Fisherman's Knot. It is best suited for attaching loops or standing (infrequently unfastened) ropes, as it is more difficult to untie after bearing weight.
Double bartack. It is easy to knot and adjust, and is very suitable for erection of fixed points.
Drag the sling knot. A knot that restricts the rope from moving in one direction, and is suitable for towing objects that are not too heavy (e.g., when climbing in a rope team; It can be used to drag your own backpack), especially if there is no one to help you tow.
Italian Half Knot, this knot can be used for security, especially when you lose your security gear or don't have your equipment with you, it's best not to use the Italian Half Knot to descend, otherwise the rope can easily get tangled together. The Italian half-knot plus a rope loop and a large mouth with a lock hook and loop is equivalent to a simple sling and descender, which is the best and necessary equipment for a mountaineer to climb every mountain, sometimes you can prepare it yourself without using it, and sometimes you can save others.
The knot that Ah Wei had tied the rope to the trunk of the tree was the Double Fisherman's Knot, because he was not willing to take a little risk, in case they were hanging in the air, and suddenly a group of naughty monkeys appeared, and if those lowly monkeys knotted this rope for you, then a few of them would be hilarious, and they would have to enjoy the feeling of flying.
"Rui Ye, it's OK here, I'll go down first, you guys follow." After Ah Wei tied all the equipment hiking bags with tow knots, he slowly put them all down, and they should have been placed at the bottom by this time.
Huang Qirui put down the telescope on his chest and walked to the edge of the cliff, at this time the iron head came over, pulled an iron lock a few times, buckled it to the rope, and handed it to him.
Huang Qirui took the rope buckle, tied another safety rope to his body, and slowly walked to the edge of the cliff, with his back to the cliff, his feet supporting the edge of the cliff, and then jumped a little harder, and slowly jumped down the cliff and landed. (To be continued.) )
