Chapter 51: Mountaineering Boot Camp

The more remote the car was, Chen Xing knew that this was a winter camp directly under the Otaina Snow Mountain, but he was still a little worried.

I looked at my phone, and I still had 60 percent of the battery.

Huawei has a function that is very useful for travelers like Chen Xing, and that is to quickly dial the police.

Find Security in the settings, click SOS Emergency Assistance, and there is a power button that presses five times to automatically call for help.

As long as you set the emergency contact as an alarm number, you can quickly call the police.

There is also a function that is also quite practical, also in the security, there is an emergency warning center, which can open the earthquake warning, so that you will receive the message before the earthquake wave comes, and reserve time for escape.

As a native of Sichuan Province, Chen Xing is already numb to earthquakes, but if he knew in advance that he was facing an earthquake of magnitude five or six, he would still be willing to move.

Chen Xing only talks about beautiful women, and he really doesn't know what to talk about in the face of Chen Zhibing, a big man, but fortunately, Chen Zhibing has been a coach for several years, and the mountaineering stories he told made Chen Xing very interested, which made the two not cold during the long drive.

Their destination is the Sanao Snow Mountain Base Camp...... Neighborhood.

As a private mountaineering company, they certainly have cooperation with the Snow Mountain Camp, but they are safer, charge more, and provide better service than tourists who depart from the Sanao Snow Mountain Base Camp.

Two hours later, the trees on the side of the road were already covered with hoarfrost, and there were deep and shallow piles of snow on the side of the road.

The house has also become a completely different style.

Chen Xing looked at the buildings outside the window and asked, "Coach Chen, are these houses outside inhabited by Tibetans?" ”

"Yes, we have a lot of these homestays, if you are not used to our dormitories, or if you are interested in these homestays, you can go and stay for two days."

"Hmm." He agreed.

Of course he's going to stay for one night, and that's a bonus.

The car quickly stopped in a place that looked like a park, with snow everywhere, as if it was already in a snowy mountain, but the surrounding trees and greenery were still a little bit, like a snowy mountain park.

After Chen Zhibing got out of the car, he introduced to Chen Xing: "Brother, the bungalow over there is our dormitory, one for two people, but the bedrooms are separate, with independent bathrooms, air conditioning, the venue over there is for training, and there is a gymnasium." ”

"Pulling? Gym? ”

"Well, many people who come to sign up are not physically fit enough, and it will be very difficult to climb the mountain. Don't look at Ottena is only 5,000 meters, but not anyone can go up to it, and every meter above sea level will make it more difficult to climb the mountain. ”

As soon as Chen Xing came, before he was sure whether he wanted to participate in this training camp, Chen Zhibing took him to the gymnasium to have a look.

There were already people inside, twelve or thirteen students sitting cross-legged on the ground, and a female instructor stood in front of her, talking about some knowledge about mountaineering.

Chen Zhibing whispered to Chen Xing: "The people who signed up for our training camp are all new mountaineers like you, so there are many precautions and taboos to tell you in advance, but more about physical training and the choice of mountaineering equipment." ”

The cost of this training camp including equipment is 23,000 yuan, and Chen Xing read the comments of netizens and said that the equipment is worth more than 10,000 yuan.

This 10,000-odd item includes assault suits, gloves, socks, hats, snow covers, trekking poles, hiking shoes, water bottles, snow goggles, and some special equipment for climbing snowy mountains. I don't know a lot of Chen Xing by name, but there are a lot of praises on the Internet, and even if I lose, I can't lose anything.

"You can go around here, if you are sure to join us, then send me a WeChat message, or you can tell the female coach in front of you, her surname is Wu, Wu Chunchun."

"Okay, thank you."

"Yes, yes, we don't refund the deposit anyway."

Chen Zhibing shook hands with Chen Xing with a smile, went up to say hello to Coach Wu who was lecturing and left.

Coach Wu said to the students:

"Rest."

The students sitting cross-legged below stood up in a swarm, and Chen Xing saw that there were elegant uncles in their forties with glasses, and girls in their twenties who looked young, the composition was more complicated, but there were quite a lot of girls, there were five of them.

A few people walked towards Chen Xing, including the glasses uncle who looked like a civil servant.

"You're here to sign up for the climb too?"

"Yes." Chen Xing nodded and said, "Hello, how long have you been here?" ”

"I came yesterday."

"It's been a few days."

"I just arrived in the morning, and I feel quite regular......

A person suddenly changed the subject and said, "Eh, how old do you say that female coach surnamed Wu is?" Looking very young, also climbed Mount Everest? ”

"You don't even know her? I have written a book, in 19 years, when her mountaineering team encountered an avalanche when she went down a snowy mountain, she survived alone, a very powerful person, you can take a look at the "Limit" she wrote, it is very good. ”

It's a girl who speaks, and I'm excited when I mention this, and it's possible that I'm a fan of Coach Wu.

Chen Xing held his hand and listened for a long time, and asked, "You came here after reading that book?" There are ads on the book? ”

"No, I saw the message on her Weibo, and I want to try what it's like to climb the snowy mountain."

Sure enough, it's a fan.

"I also want to try the feeling of climbing a snowy mountain." Uncle said with a smile.

After chatting for a while, we thought it was quite right, so we introduced each other.

The uncle who is like a civil servant is really a civil servant, and he is the deputy director of a small county, named Lu Yan. The little brother who is very interested in Coach Wu is called Qi Zhixin, and the fan girl is called Mu Qing, who has just graduated from college and has not yet joined the work.

It is estimated that there is no shortage of money at home, and it costs 20,000 to sign up here, plus the occasional money, this trip will definitely not stop without 30,000.

"Chen Xing, photographer."

"Wow, photographer?" The fan girl was surprised and said, "Then can we hand over the commemorative photos after we reach the top?" ”

"No problem." Chen Xing shrugged his shoulders and said.

Lu Yan was curious about the reason why everyone chose to climb the mountain, so he asked, and then he spoke first:

"When I was young, I collected stamps, there was a set of commemorative stamps on May 25, 1960 when the Chinese mountaineering team climbed Mount Everest for the first time, I don't know why, those team members were connected by a safety rope The body was particularly shocking to me, I guess this is now the heroic plot that many people say, during that time I dreamed of mountaineering."

"Then big brother, you're quite late." Qi Zhixin blurted out.

Mu Qing said: "I like the book written by Coach Wu and I want to try it."

Chen Xing held up his camera.

"To take a good picture."

He's just a photographer, so he doesn't have any thoughts about making money at the top.
