Stone Shadow of Qiong Cage Chapter 36 The Nest (I)

I was very resistant to thinking about the last experience of the Queen Mother of the West, there was a kind of physiological rejection, so as soon as I connected the scene in front of me with the previous one, I suddenly felt that this rock wall had become ugly, the blue-black stone and the holes on it made the whole mountain look like a rotting and perforated corpse of a giant beast, and the green moss was like pus and fungus on the corpse. I didn't feel this way before.

Fortunately, it was only a moment, Xiaohua's Sichuan guy interrupted my crooked thoughts, and a few locals unloaded all the ropes from the mule, and under the guidance of the Sichuan guys, they tied the rope to the climbing binding, which is a small equipment that can be inserted into the crevices of the rocks and instantly stuck.

We have a complete range of climbing equipment, harnesses, descents, locks, rope covers, helmets, climbing shoes, magnesium powder and powder bags, the world's first climbing association came from the Soviet Union, but these things are all made in Switzerland. It's very reassuring to look at.

However, Xiaohua did not fully follow the rules, he took off his coat, dragged the rope and hung it on his waist, only wore a vest and began to climb with his bare hands, he was very thin and did not have very obvious muscles, but I don't know why, climbing up the cliff is like an acrobatic performance, many actions that I dare not think of, such as hanging on the protruding cliff rock with one hand, sending the foot to a tree far away with the strength of the waist, hanging the tree with the instep of the foot, and then letting go and hanging upside down and swinging over. Without reaching the rocky protrusions upward, he would roll over the cliff extremely quickly, hanging on the instep of his feet under his head and feet, and then flipped up with force in an instant. In addition to being neat and tidy, he even has a special beauty.

The most amazing thing is his speed, I really realized what it means to walk on the wall, except for the difficult places to climb, all his climbs are carried out extremely fast, even faster than walking, but even so, it took him nearly four hours to climb to the top of the cliff, and finally when he got to the heights, I could barely see his position, until he threw off the rope, and they were sure that he was at the top.

The people below applauded heartily, and I couldn't help but express my admiration, saying that this guy must have learned "Journey to the West" when he was studying drama.

Using the rope he had brought up, we hoisted all the equipment through a pulley, and seven ropes were thrown off from it to make seven "ladders" to assist in rock climbing, I didn't know how these ropes were used, but when I thought of Xiaohua's skills, I suddenly realized that these ropes might have been prepared for me.

I didn't feel any shame, I just felt fear. If I was just asked to climb up and stay, maybe I would be okay with it, but if it was going to be going between these ropes,, I couldn't guarantee that I would not fall to my death for that long.

After that, a few men in Sichuan set up the so-called "nest", which was made of steel bar, like a claw-like thing, and the paw could hold a sleeping bag, and the sleeping bag and many of the fixing rings on the paws were connected to the cliff using six metal rings.

I understood the definition of a nest, this thing is a place for us to sleep on the cliff, and sure enough, it can only be called a nest.

Little Flower's guy told me that it was invented by the Finns and used by bird photographers to photograph a kind of eagle on a cliff that lives on a cliff and is very difficult to observe. They made this kind of paw, and with this sleeping bag they could live on the cliff for months without falling to the ground. There are so many holes in the cliff that we have to look for them all, it will take at least a week or two, and this cliff is so high that it may take a whole day for ordinary people to go up, so we have to stay on it.

The nest would be placed at the top of a cliff, where there would be more light, less moss, and not damp, and the last step would be to hang me up.

I've had experience in rock climbing, so I wasn't too embarrassed this time, but when I got to the middle of the cliff, I looked down and saw only a green canopy, and I felt a little trance, and I remembered the fault at the edge of the snake swamp, and a lot of things flashed through my mind. I can't help but start to be surprised by my own changes, if it was before, I would have been weak in such a place, but now I can be so calm.

To the top of the cliff is already sunset, that is the real peak, almost no foothold, there are some low trees and shrubs growing on it, under the dim light of the sunset, the majestic but soft snow-capped mountains in the distance become mysterious, and the surrounding cliff valley around a misty white mist, under the dusk, the shadow of the backlight in the mountain is already a dark, the smoke of the mountain village in the distance and all this, forming a strange artistic conception.

Xiaohua sat on a stone, his feet dangling in the air, and below was the abyss, he looked at the snow-capped mountains, and his eyes were full of solemnity.
