Chapter 418: The Soul Under the Lhotse Wall
May 8.
Bi Fang woke up from Camp 2, even if there was a rock wall blocking him, his body was already covered with snow at this time, he took off his mask and pinched it, the ice chips drifted in the wind, sat on the ground, and took out two energy bars for breakfast.
At this moment, the mobile phone vibrated and it was a call from Yao Jun.
Bi Fang took off his gloves and turned them on, and asked while eating, "What's wrong?" ”
"The forecast of the Meteorological Bureau is out, from the 10th to the 14th, and they say that this is the best time to reach the summit!"
"Okay."
There are at least five days left.
Enough is enough.
Bi Fang was not too disappointed when he heard this data, it was not much different from his expectations, if he practiced normally, this time would definitely not be enough, but Bi Fang did not plan to train according to the conventional way of three rises and three drops.
He is going to come to Camp 3 in one breath today, and then adapt to the environment.
hung up the phone, Bi Fang silently turned on the live broadcast.
The audience waiting in front of the computer and mobile phone only saw the black screen flash, and the snowstorm appeared in the view.
[It's on, it's on! ] 】
[Are you going to Camp 3 today?] 】
[Fang Shen is shining! ] 】
[Pipi shrimp is not skinned and presented to the anchor fish ball*1000--Chong Chong Chong! ] 】
[Liang Feifei is not a gifted to the anchor spaceship *10 - quickly reach the top! ] 】
[I can see the local tyrant just after the broadcast, I am really envious]
In the face of many barrages and gifts, Bi Fang once again expressed his gratitude, but he didn't say anything, and soon returned to the topic, stood up and shook off the snow on his body, and marched towards the depths of the valley.
The whole valley is very deep, many people may not have climbed the mountain, in fact, a Mount Everest is larger than normal people think, only 6,400 meters can have a valley of several kilometers long, this is the power of nature.
At this time, the oxygen content is already very low, normal people almost have to use oxygen cylinders here, always remember to calm their breath, in this case, people's movements are getting slower and slower, every time they kick against the hard bright ice, it seems to have exhausted the power of the wilderness, and compared with sloths, it is almost no different.
Even Bi Fang finally began to feel discomfort in breathing when he arrived here, fortunately, he had walked through so many dangerous environments, Bi Fang's own body balance made his adaptability very strong, and after walking for a while, the discomfort gradually receded.
"There is a concept in psychology called 'flow', which refers to the feeling of high pleasure and fulfillment when a person is fully engaged in something, and in the process forgets the passage of time.
If you're empty, anxious, or even physically unwell, do something that will get you into that state, and it will bring you pleasure, just like I did when I was mountaineering. ”
The cold wind howled in the narrow valley, and after walking for more than an hour, Bi Fang came to the bottom of the Lhotse Cliff, which is a climb of about 800 meters above sea level, which means that the slope is relatively steep, about 40 degrees or more, and the steepest section is about 60 degrees.
In addition to the steepness, Lhotse wall ice and snow are mixed, and many places are bright ice, the so-called bright ice, that is, the high altitude area has strong sunlight during the day, the snow melts, and the ice surface freezes again when the fire cools down at night, so that the repeated generation is that this kind of ice is very hard, not easy to kick the ice, and it is not easy to knock into the ice axe, which means more physical effort and consumption.
At this time, Bi Fang took out a rope and an ice axe, ready to climb up.
Before coming here, Bi Fang introduced Lhotse Cliff, but the steepness of the ice wall may not be understood by the introduction alone, and even many viewers don't feel it when they hear it, and 50 to 60 degrees is just a number.
But when Bi Fang stood under the Lhotse Wall at this time and looked in the direction, many people opened their mouths wide.
This TM is called Poe?
[Is this 50 to 60 degrees?] Are you sure it's not ninety degrees? 】
[Yes, but the visual effect is too strong]
[Can this be climbed?] 】
[You can definitely climb if you climb, otherwise how can you reach the top?] 】
"It's true that you can climb, but it's also very dangerous." Bi Fang let out a breath of heat, to say that he was completely sure, he couldn't have it, especially when he was alone.
Normally, Everest climbing is mostly a team, and if it is professional, it will be more efficient, just like this ice slope, it is necessary to build ropes.
Nails are driven into a stone or ice wall, and ropes are hung as a way to protect them, going back and forth, little by little.
Alone, it will be much less efficient and more dangerous.
Even the mountaineering machine fell into the cliff because of a mistake and unfortunately died.
Don't get me wrong, a mountaineering machine isn't a real machine, it's a person, Ueli Steck.
"Ueli is one of the best climbers of this era, a two-time Golden Ice Axe Award winner, and is known for his solo fast climbs. Completing the three major ascent grand slams of Europe's three northern faces, the north wall of the Eiger Peak, the bridge of Russ and the Matterhorn, all in two and a half hours, or even two hours, these three records made Ueli widely known as the 'Swiss Machine'. ”
"It took 62 days for Uli to complete all 82 peaks in the Alps above 4,000 meters above sea level, becoming the king of Alpine mountaineering.
In addition, he also opened up a new route on the north wall of Tengkampoche Peak, which won the Golden Ice Axe Award, and won the Golden Ice Axe Award again on the south wall of Annapurna Peak in 13 years. In '09, he completed the peak of Shisha Bangma in 10 hours and 30 minutes, and in 2012 he reached the summit of Mount Everest without oxygen. ”
The string of achievements made the audience dizzy, and many of the peaks had not even heard of it, but they understood one thing, this was a big guy, a big guy who played a pivotal role in the mountaineering world.
It's a pity that Bi Fang's words changed and his eyes showed regret: "Uli's two Golden Ice Axe Award climbs were completed in the Himalayas, and he was finally killed on the Lhotse Wall. ”
That's right, Uli died on the Lhotse wall in front of Bi Fang.
In 17 years, an avalanche of considerable scale occurred on the west side of the south wall of Lhotse, but it did not threaten the climbing route of Khumbu Glacier, so many people did not pay attention to it, after all, small avalanches and ice avalanches often occur on Everest.
As a result, half an hour later, the base camp got the news that "Uli slipped and fell on Nuzi Peak, and the person had fallen to pieces".
In the mountaineering world, there are many ways to prove your ability, among which the most powerful, that is, the most awesome: solo climbing, anaerobic climbing, opening up new climbing routes, and speed climbing.
Complete one of these achievements on any of the most difficult peaks and you'll be able to make your mark in the world of mountaineering.
Bi Fang is solo plus anaerobic this time.
Although this is an achievement that Uli himself has not achieved, the above achievements alone are enough to prove the amazing talent of this mountaineering machine, the aura of a solo solo, anaerobic climbing, and the strongest speed climbing master has long made the public believe that the Swiss machine is 'omnipotent', but he still died under the Lhotse wall.
The audience shuddered at the thought of this.
