0213 The 20th summit route

The next morning, Lin Feng slept in a lazy sleep and got up at half past 9:30.

Two days of high-altitude hiking made him physically and mentally exhausted. He originally wanted to use his skills to recover, but he still held back.

[Monomic Therapy] has a cooling time of too long, and you have to wait for one day if you use it once. If you use it now, if something happens to you in the next two days, it will be difficult to do.

Especially when going down the mountain.

Given this idea, Lin Feng ate casually and changed the title of the room to: "The New Year's Special "Conquer the Wilderness", day.6, the new line to the top begins!"

Then, the live broadcast started!

Because the broadcast was late, in just one second, those fans who were waiting in front of the screen rushed into the live broadcast room.

The number of online users in the upper right corner immediately began to grow wildly.

Ten thousand, twenty thousand, fifty thousand, ten thousand, ten thousand!

Seeing that the person was almost here, Lin Feng said directly: "Good morning everyone, I am Lin Feng. Today is the sixth day I have come to Mount Everest!"

"My current altitude is 8,300 meters. I will join Guodeng team in the future and reach the top of the new line again. It may sound a bit crazy, but I still choose to stay."

“Because I don’t want to miss this opportunity.”

In the live broadcast room, some viewers asked about Xiao Qiang’s condition.

Lin Feng answered truthfully: "She got on Simon's helicopter and was sent to the hospital by rescuers. The situation should have stabilized. Don't worry, she is very good."

At 10 a.m., the people from the Guodeng team had already started to pack up their equipment.

Lin Feng also changed into a set of mountaineering equipment and put on a one-piece down jacket.

"The one-piece down jacket is the most practical equipment for climbing Mount Everest. It is aerospace level and costs about 20,000 US dollars. It is very luxurious, but it is indeed very useful. After wearing it, the severe cold of Himalaya will not pose any threat to you."

"Damn, that's so expensive?"

"How many soft sister coins are equivalent to US$20,000?"

"Twelve to thirty thousand!"

"Damn, it's so expensive..."

"It's water. Climbing Mount Everest is a sport for wealthy people. It costs almost 200,000 yuan to find a mountaineering company, and it's not considered equipment."

"I can't afford to play, I can't afford to play..."

Then, Lin Feng changed into a pair of double-layer mountain boots, put on a balaclava, equipped with a headlight, and changed into a light bulb and battery.

"This is a high-altitude climbing sling with locking hooks and loops and fixed hooks, as well as left and right ascending machines and Prussian knots. These equipment is also very practical, and can avoid accidents when crossing the ice cliff!"

Lin Feng introduced his equipment to the audience one by one, as he knew it.

After all the equipment was packed up, Team Wang gave a gathering signal on the intercom.

Before 10 a.m., the group of nine people launched a huge impact on the peak.

This time, what they are going to challenge is the route from the North Col ice wall to the southwest wall!

Among them, in addition to the 5.5-kilometer snow slope, there is also an extremely steep glacier cliff that requires a ladder to pass through.

In addition, when they finally reach the top, they also need to climb up from the vertical rock wall with ascending machines.

So, the difficulty is quite high.

In history, there were only four routes to reach the summit of the southwest wall, the earliest in 1975 and the latest in 2009.

Up to now, a total of 19 routes have been developed on Mount Everest.

The first climb route on the southwest wall is still considered to be the most difficult climb route on Mount Everest.

If the Guodeng team succeeds, the route to the north wall to the southwest wall should be included in the 20th top route, which is of great significance.

It took nearly four hours to use ropes to climb across the north wall and start moving towards the southwest wall.

Soon, a huge glacier cliff blocked their way.

The depth of the cliff is more than 100 meters and is located in a transverse position. You can only choose to take a metal ladder and then walk over the ladder!

"What should I do if I step on the air?"

"There should be protection measures?"

"There are protection measures, but the ladder is not fixed. Once it falls, isn't it completely finished?"

"I became nervous for some reason!"

...

On the other hand, Sun Bing and Xu Wenchao have tied two pairs of metal ladders together and crossed the ice cliff.

Others began to prepare equipment, equip the Prussian knots and climbing suspenders on their bodies.

The first Captain Wang to walk up the ladder was very slow. He had to stop for several seconds to adjust with every step.

Because the foot drop on the ladder is not enough to support the entire foot.

Therefore, it is very unstable to walk. You need to master balance and pay attention to not stepping on empty feet, which is quite difficult.

Moreover, the further you reach the second half, the more difficult it is to move forward, because the metal ladder has no fixed support point and is shaking left and right. Someone needs to go over and fix it with an ice cone.

Five minutes later, Captain Wang passed successfully.

As soon as he landed, he took out the ice cone and fixed the ladder. Then he asked Sun Bing to hand him the glacier rope and pulled up a protective rope above the metal ladder.

Climbers can tie suspenders and knots to avoid accidents.

Doing so can greatly reduce the psychological burden on climbers. Even if someone makes a mistake, he can use suspenders and glacier ropes to climb up again.

Seeing that it was almost done, he gestured to everyone.

The first one to go up were two Tibetan guys, Basang and Mima. Their feet were very stable, holding the glacier rope, and quickly walked over.

Following closely are Sun Bing and Xu Wenchao.

No problems occurred, either.

When these four people passed by successfully, Mr. Xia took the first step forward.

Because it is a prosthetic, he walks very slowly, and it takes more than ten seconds for almost every step forward, which is particularly inconvenient.

He walked forward carefully for five or six meters, and just as he stepped out his left leg and was about to continue moving forward, an accident suddenly happened.

His feet slipped, his body immediately tilted, losing his center of gravity and falling down.

Because the prosthesis is a "foot board" of carbon fibers, the stress is very uneven.

"Bang!"

Fortunately, the moment he fell into the abyss, the Prussian knot on his body immediately tightened and dragged his body, otherwise it would be a big trouble.

Seeing this, Mr. Xia grabbed the metal ladder with both hands and moved forward alternately. When he was about to reach the end, Sun Bing released a rope and pulled him up.

A false alarm.

When the new team member Chen Tao saw this scene, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva, and his legs began to tremble slightly.

He adjusted his breathing, perhaps because he was too nervous, and as soon as he took the first step, the metal ladder made a banging sound.

"Look forward! Look forward! Relax!"

Seeing this, Captain Wang hurriedly shouted on the walkie-talkie.

This Chen Tao is actually a good mountaineering expert and has climbed Siguniang Mountain alone.

If divided according to the difficulty level, Siguniang Mountain is much more difficult than Mount Everest.

But somehow, as soon as he came here, he felt like he had become a different person, and even the most basic operations began to become dull.

Perhaps, this is the terrifying death zone, which brings psychological pressure to people.

Chen Tao heard the voice of Team Wang from the walkie-talkie, trying to stabilize his body.
Chapter completed!
