Crazy gasps filled the live broadcast room and sounded very worrying.
The frost flowers on the snow mirror refract the sky, and the cold is pressing.
The black one-piece down jacket was covered with dirt snow.
The face in the lens is dusty.
Chapped lips, breathing desperate white gas for a while...
This is the status quo of Lu Yu when he is 8600 meters on the first step of Mount Everest!
As the altitude increases, the oxygen content of 8600 has been very small, and every breath consumes a huge amount of muscles around the body
In order to save energy, he did not speak.
It was just a gesture to the audience, indicating that everything was ok, so that everyone did not have to worry.
The audience was relieved to learn that Lu Yu was normal.
After staying in place for a while, Lu Yu sorted out the traction rope.
Slowly got up, pulled out the ice axe smoothly, and put on more than one meter.
At this time, the rock wall of the second step finally appeared in front of us.
With a goal, it's too late to think about it.
He held the edge of the ice cliff with his hand, then waved the ice axe, chiseled into the rock crack in front, and pulled himself up.
lung.
It almost exploded.
After settling, Lu Yu panted on the ground for a while, wrapped the climbing rope around his arm bit by bit, and then pulled hard to pull out the ice cone embedded in the ice layer below.
Ice cones are useful on the snow slopes from the third step to the top.
Don't throw it away until the critical moment.
Put away the climbing rope and stand up again.
In only a moment, the anaerobic environment of 8600 meters gave his heart a sigh again.
The previous feeling of lung like a knife cut suddenly aggravated a little bit.
For a few seconds, Lu Yu had begun to realize that his spirit was becoming abstract.
Everything in front of me is twisting.
At this moment, he seemed to be a narrow, gasping lung floating above the clouds and mountains.
Contracted weakly and restlessly.
However, when looking at the top of the world at your fingertips, the exhaustion of body and mind is swept away.
In the firm eyes, the endless fighting spirit ignited again.
Supported by his will, Lu Yu picked up the ice cone again, nailed it into the ice, and started to move towards the second step.
About fifteen minutes.
A nearly vertical cliff of about 6-8 meters intruded into sight.
This was once called the threshold to the summit of Everest.
The height difference of the whole second step climbing is about 20 meters.
Divided into three segments.
On the earth, each section of the three sections of rock wall is erected with a metal ladder.
There are three sections of metal ladders before and after.
Among them, the last section that bypasses an upright boulder is the most steep section of the three sections of rock wall species.
The height difference is around 8 meters.
The world-famous Huaxia Ladder once stood here.
The previous life, in May 2008, stood at the altitude of 8,700 meters above Mount Everest for 33 years, and completed its historical mission.
Was taken back to Lhasa and received into the Everest Mountaineering Museum.
It is different from the bustling scene of the previous life.
Everest here is deserted.
There is no such thing as mountain climbing garbage.
There are no corpses of climbers everywhere.
The three steps are no longer "traffic jams".
There is nothing but a single-handed person.
Everything is the most primitive.
...
Coming to the rock wall alone, Lu Yu gasped and took the first step towards the second step.
When climbing the second step, the most important thing is to maintain a good physical and mental state.
Avoid unstable ice.
Be careful when operating safety equipment, and your footsteps should be slow and steady.
Due to the altitude, there is a danger of collapse at any time.
An inattention will put the climber into a dangerous situation.
The rock formation in sight is a typical marine formation.
The gray crystalline stone limestone has a very high quartz content and is very hard. The ice axe is difficult to split and can only be climbed by natural cracks.
Fortunately, although the rock wall is nearly vertical, the gully is vertical and horizontal, and there are many small rock spots for grasping.
After glancing at the data on the posture assessment detector, Lu Yu tried his best to restrain the negative emotions caused by hypoxia and tried to calm himself down.
The next second, he pinned the ice axe around his waist, reached for a rock joint, and walked up slowly.
The rocky spot is very smooth and requires a lot of effort to grasp.
It is worth mentioning that the first rock face is not difficult to climb, even if there is no metal ladder, you can climb up.
But it takes more time.
The hardest part is no longer here.
It is a boulder standing in the middle of the second section of the rock wall!
The location of the boulder and the Huaxia ladder is a hollow zone nearly two meters long. Below is a gravel **** with a **** greater than 45 degrees, and the end is hidden in the sea of clouds.
Even if I can't see clearly, my heart looks like a mirror.
Although it is the end of sight.
But below it, the abyss of more than 8,000 meters is in it!
...
In such a place, without a metal ladder, it is almost impossible to conquer head-on.
Can only "sword go slant"!
Slowly coming to the second section of the rock wall, Lu Yu stood on a platform under the boulder, hesitated for a while, then pulled out the ice cone, and then arranged insurance according to the current terrain.
Look around, because the ice layer is no longer nearby, and the ice cone is temporarily unavailable.
The only insurance method is to use climbing rope to tie up a few rock points to make a simple climbing rope.
After many twists and turns, after finding a circle, he found several broken rock cracks on the side of the boulder, just enough to catch the rope.
But because the diameter of the boulder is too large, a piece of rope is difficult to handle.
So I had to take another cut and connect it with a bone-shaped safety buckle.
Soon, everything was ready, Lu Yu gestured to the audience with gestures, and then began his nearly crazy climbing plan!
Standing on the platform, he took off his backpack, tied it to a rope, and relieved himself of the weight.
Subsequently, a length of nearly three meters of rope was reserved.
At this time, the live broadcast suddenly became agitated.
Seeing Lu Yu's posture, the audience felt vaguely vaguely, and the barrage frequently appeared:
"What is this for?"
"Feather God, and slow!"
"Aren't you going to jump over?"
"What?! Jump over?"
"Aren't you a human again?"
"Thousands of blood books, please beg for the anchor to be an individual!"
"Yu Shen stabilized, don't wave!"
...
After looking at the barrage, Lu Yu did not speak.
There is no expression!
The next second, while everyone was not paying attention, he suddenly exerted force on his feet and instantly ejected his body, leaping upward!
Whoo!
In mid-air, Lu Yu opened his limbs and aimed at the target ahead.
Then, with a bang, I hugged a raised rock!
boom!
The severe impact and the lack of oxygen in the plateau made his heart and lungs suddenly hurt.
An unprecedented burning sensation, spreading from the chest to the whole body However, it is critical, and there is no time to worry about it.
Because at this moment, the body is slowly sliding down on the round rock.
In the blink of an eye, life is hanging.
Strongly enduring the pain, Lu Yu did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly pulled out his climbing pick from the waist and split it towards the top of the rock.
boom!
After the ice pick settled, he tentatively dragged it twice.
Confirm that there is no problem, and then use the angle formed by the blade and the rock face to stabilize the body.
Then he stretched out his left hand, clenched a big rock spot above his head, and slammed his right heel.
In an instant, the whole body moved up by nearly half a meter.
After struggling a few times, I didn't dare to relax until my feet completely left the rock wall and completely retracted into the edge of the rock...
