Chapter 241: Breaking into the Peak of Death Alone in the Dead Late at Night
A few days after Du Xiaosheng came to Qiaogori's base camp, a Swiss meteorological agency hired by the "Discovery" column team sent Du Xiaosheng a recent K2 meteorological analysis.
This organization is very well established among the world's rock climbers, and has helped mountaineers from all over the world successfully climb several peaks at 8,000 meters above sea level, during which they will transmit a lot of meteorological data to the climber, which costs $2,500 for a climbing cycle.
According to the analysis, one time to reach the summit is between today and tomorrow, and the other is a week from now. Du Xiaosheng believes that the farther the time of meteorological data, the worse the accuracy.
"What? You're going to go to the top tomorrow night, too? This is impossible, and I would never allow an ignorant kid who has been in the base camp for less than a week to adapt to ice climbing to lead the team to the top. If you don't want to die, the rest of my team will die! In the base camp, the security director of the discovery column shouted loudly.
Regarding this shooting, the discovery column made full preparations for Du Xiaosheng, and they hired four experienced Sherpas for Du Xiaosheng. This was used to assist Du Xiaosheng to climb K2 safely and successfully complete the birth of the sky.
"I think today and tomorrow are the best times to reach the summit, and 80 percent of the climbers in the camp will make the summit. And in the last few days of ice climbing training, I have done a great job and have never held the team back. ”
Du Xiaosheng, who has the skill of [extreme rock climbing], has an extremely accurate grasp of the knowledge and experience of climbing snow mountains, and the all-round coach Bell continues to provide him with a lot of data analysis, so Du Xiaosheng accurately judged that tomorrow is a very rare opportunity.
Security Director Anquis looked at Du Xiaosheng contemptuously and said in a mocking tone:
"What do you think? You're a piece of bullshit, how many times have you climbed a snowy mountain above 8,000 meters? Not a single one! What do you think?! ”
"If we hadn't hired four Sherpas for you to carry your gear and oxygen tanks, you think you would have been able to climb to the top of death? Clamp your ass and be a man, don't take yourself too seriously! I'm not asking for your opinion, get the hell out of here right now. ”
Du Xiaosheng's expression became cold, he walked up to Anquis, grabbed Anquez's collar, and lifted the 180-year-old white man up, and there was no longer the easy-going smile of the past:
"What's wrong with not climbing a snowy mountain above 8,000 meters? The first person to climb the 8,000-meter mountain is also inexperienced, so remember to never speak to someone in a contemptuous tone, because you may not have the qualifications to contempt others. After Du Xiaosheng finished speaking, he pushed Anquis down on the stool, turned around and walked out.
This guy named Anquis, from the first day Du Xiaosheng came to the base camp, he looked down on Du Xiaosheng and thought that he was not self-sufficient. Du Xiaosheng has always endured it, after all, his progress is too fast, and it is normal for ordinary people not to understand and not approve.
But no matter how experienced Du Xiaosheng is in climbing, Anquis still has this attitude of looking at people with his nostrils.
Always put on a "I'm your elder, I'm experienced." "If you're not bullshit, you'll put on a show." The mouth of the face.
Du Xiaosheng is most annoyed by this kind of self-righteous person, his strength and qualifications are in front of Anquis, but this person doesn't even look at it.
He didn't plan to take a snow-capped mountain guide, and the Alpine-style free climbing, and the ascent of Chogori without oxygen tanks are not without precedent in the world!
After returning to his tent, Du Xiaosheng put on knee-high hiking boots and crampons. Wearing a fleece jacket inside, wearing a fleece hat and goggles on his head, and a seat belt rope on his back, he put more than a dozen fully charged antifreeze batteries into his backpack and said to the live camera: "Good evening, is anyone watching the show now?" ”
As soon as the camera was turned on, fans immediately asked about Du Xiaosheng.
"Anchor, how's it going? When to reach the top? ”
"It's been more than ten days since the live broadcast started, and you still can't reach the top?"
"What are you anxious about, the world's most difficult mountain to climb is so good? It took 100 days for the hero of mankind to conquer Chogori Peak for the first time, and it took him 100 days to successfully climb to the top, and the speed of the anchor is already superb, right? ”
……
Just when the fans were arguing, Du Xiaosheng zoomed out the camera, showed off his equipment, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop arguing!" Judging from the information given to me by the weather station, today and tomorrow are the best times to reach the summit. ”
"So, I decided on the fly, go to the top tonight! Even now, there is no rope needed to build roads in the mountains! No protection! There are no Sherpas! It's just me and you, accompany me to the top, are you willing? ”
Hearing Du Xiaosheng's crazy remarks, the live broadcast room exploded instantly!
"! Anchor, such a joke can't be made, there is no guide in the snowy mountains, there is no Sherpa to help you hang the collaboration rope in advance, who will you climb to provide you with logistics services? ”
"Don't think about it, what's the difference between not taking a Sherpa with you and committing suicide?"
"Why travel overnight? Let's wait until dawn before we go! ”
Du Xiaosheng had already walked out of the camp with the live broadcast equipment at this time, although it was summer, the breath exhaled at night in the base camp built at an altitude of 5,100 meters would still condense and turn into puffs of white smoke.
"Unlike mountaineering on the outskirts of the city, climbing peaks above 8,000 meters has to start at night, when the wind is very small, and there will be a huge alpine wind at noon, which is very dangerous." The sporadic snow under his feet was creaked by Du Xiaosheng's stepping, and Du Xiaosheng strapped his sports camera to his ski poles while holding it up to chat with fans while walking towards the forward camp.
He had several cameras strapped to his body, in addition to the first-view camera above his head, and a camera on his arm.
It's night, and the night sky of the Kunlun Mountains is particularly magnificent!
It is flanked by steep mountain rocks, and the snow-capped peaks appear bright and holy in the moonlight.
The craggy rocks, the grooves left by the flow of water and avalanches over thousands of years, make the black ridges look so rugged.
Many fans living in the city have never seen such a magnificent Milky Way, which is a starry sky with a pale red nebula, and the endless starry sky is densely packed like jewels, dotting the whole bright starry sky.
In addition to Du Xiaosheng, who was walking alone in the snow, in front of him, there was a business team of up to eleven people, who also chose to set off tonight.
Du Xiaosheng, who manually controlled the drone to fly into the sky and switched to aerial photography mode, presented fans with a panoramic shot from the base camp to the forward camp.
Walking in the environment of high altitude, low pressure and low oxygen, a group of several mountaineering teams in the distance, scattered under the Qiaogori Peak in twos and threes, under the majestic glacier, they are like a herd of camels walking far away in the desert, lined up, heading towards the eternal snow-capped mountains!
And in the center of this live broadcast screen, only Du Xiaosheng with a huge mountaineering bag on his back looks so lonely!
Only Du Xiaosheng is alone!
Even the layman who has never climbed a mountain knows that it usually takes at least two people to climb a snowy mountain.
First, the two of them are connected together on the high mountain, and one person makes a mistake, such as falling into the ice and falling into the ice crack, and the two can still take care of the avalanche.
Second, in the alpine 10,000-year-old snow-capped mountains, many episodes of mountain sickness are very terrible, such as snow blindness that makes people lose their vision, as well as hypothermia, dizziness, hallucinations caused by lack of oxygen, loss of sensation in nerve endings, and so on.
Severe "hypothermia" often involves impaired consciousness, nuchal rigidity, decreased blood pressure, bradycardia, or arrhythmias. At this time, because the body cannot produce heat on its own, it is necessary for the companions to camp on the spot, and the two take off their clothes and hug each other, and warm each other through human body temperature to tide over the difficulties! You may even need to be prepared for several hours of rescue breathing to help people with hypothermia breathe.
This is very dangerous.
And now, Du Xiaosheng is alone, and once any of the above dangers occur, he will be forever buried in the snow-capped mountains with the title of the top of death......
