Chapter 664: I'm Afraid of a Ghost [Let's Subscribe]
On a starry night, a little starry hung above the dark curtain.
The surrounding mountains rise and fall, and the majestic peaks that occupy half of the view in front of you into the night, like a demon king ready to meet the challenge of the brave, which is extremely awe-inspiring.
"Jia Long, how come you have time to come out?"
In the night breeze, a woman stands alone in the wind and snow and watches the transparent night view of the mountains.
She is Zhu Ying.
"I can't sleep, I want to see my surroundings."
The one who stepped out of the camp was Jia Long after the broadcast.
She walked outside the tent, and then braved the cold wind to come together with Zhu Ying.
The two girls looked up at the dark and tall Chogori Peak in front of them, especially when they saw its height that could almost pierce the sky, and they always had the illusion that it was impossible for them to climb that high.
"Actually, I have climbed two peaks of more than 8,000 meters, and the last time I climbed Mount Everest, I felt good about myself, thinking that the world's highest mountain had climbed it, and the others were definitely not a problem, but now when I see K2, I know that it is much more difficult than Mount Everest."
"Hmmm......"
Jia Long didn't know what to respond to, because she hadn't even seen Mount Everest with her own eyes.
"Jia Long, don't die, I still hope that you will always be alive, and when I am in danger, you will appear again to save my life."
Zhu Ying smiled at Jia Long.
"Yes, you'll know how good I'm right away."
Jia Long also smiled brightly.
In the next ten minutes, because of the cold outside, Jia Long and Zhu Ying wisely returned to their tents.
Fearful or not, the next day will still come.
The sun is shining, and today is another good day.
The agency that gave the weather forecast did not disappoint, and after a light snowstorm, they accurately predicted the weather for the last few days - a good day for climbing.
And the arrival of the seventh day also made Jia Long, who was more than halfway through the mission, begin to gradually adapt to the high-altitude environment.
Although I still have a dull pain in my forehead when I sleep at night, it is much better than before.
This also made Jia Long a little excited, looking forward to the start of today's trip.
"Okay, friends, today we are going to officially start ......"
Captain Xiao was about to cheer everyone on, and the drone had already followed Jia Long, who was dressed neatly, filming the scene of the team's departure.
Rumble......
Not far from the camera, a layer of thick snow piled up there on a hillside more than 100 meters away from the base camp collapsed directly from the top ridge!
That's right, it's not too small an avalanche.
Fortunately, this is only an avalanche attached to the ridge of the mountain, and the snow is only a point of the ridge, which can be said to cause the ground to shake, and the ground is shaking like a galloping horse.
Then the snow on the entire ridge of the mountain collapsed, creating a large amount of snowflakes and dust, and the bottom of the ridge slipped at least ten meters of snow in an instant, which stopped the avalanche.
Fortunately, these were considered when the camp was built, and it was far away from the surrounding hillsides, so this avalanche could not affect the camp.
But this scene cast a dark cloud over the team that was just about to start.
"This ......"
Captain Xiao's face turned gloomy.
"Everyone has seen it, this is the terrible peak of Chogori, the road we will walk in the future, no matter how careful you are, no matter how calculating, but if you are unlucky, you will still be killed if you encounter an avalanche or a rockfall...... Are you afraid? If you're afraid, you can turn back and go down the mountain now. ”
No one spoke.
Everyone's faces were full of generosity and righteousness.
For others, who are professional mountaineers, such a scene is a piece of cake, and they have long been accustomed to the thrill of hovering between life and death.
What is surprising is that Jia Long watched the catastrophic avalanche scene, but he was silent.
What they don't know is that of course Jia Long is silent, because she has also experienced a lot of people, and even a super terrifying tornado has personally flown around it, and now it is just a small avalanche?
She was thinking that if it weren't for the high anti-symptoms and the weight behind her, she might be able to use her tumbling skills and parkour skills to play acrobatics in this avalanche without dying.
So I'm afraid of a ghost.
"Since everyone is not afraid, let's go."
The team didn't bring too much supplies this time, and about everyone traveled lightly, with an average of only twelve or thirteen kilograms.
They have taken a steady approach to building their camps, and there should be no major problems at first, as long as they try to avoid slopes like the kind that have the possibility of avalanches, at least to a certain extent, to prevent the possibility of being buried by snow.
However, there is no guarantee at the peak, because there is a risk everywhere, and avalanches and even landslides can happen at any time.
Several able-bodied male members, as well as fellow packers who had been pointed out by the team and followed behind, were loaded with ropes.
You must know that to climb Chogori Peak, a mountain that does not have a fixed rope in advance, the mountaineering team has to repair the rope themselves, so the number of ropes that must be prepared is extremely staggering.
At least the ropes prepared by Jia Long and their team have reached at least eight thousand meters, which is about the same height as Qiaogoli Peak.
With so many ropes, when they encounter a relatively sloping terrain, they will begin to be settled.
For example, they just climbed a small slope diagonally, and when they reached a small raised mountain under a Qiaogori Peak, Xu Hua and Captain Xiao, who were in the front, took the rope.
In front of this hill is a slope about 60 degrees high, about 20 meters high, and this slope is full of white snowflakes, and even where there is no snow, it is full of slippery wet rocks.
Fortunately, everyone wore snowy mountain shoes with metal spikes, and although they were not at the level of the summit, it was still easy to deal with such a small snow slope.
So Xu Hua, as a 'pioneer climber', was in front, using snow poles to help him walk, while hanging the rope.
Every five to ten meters, when he saw a crack suitable for placement, he would stuff the rock plug he had prepared into the crack, and then use the principle of expansion screws to fix the rock plug, and then hang the rope on it.
In this way, a 'safe trail' was born that he opened the way and everyone behind him could safely pass through.
Of course, Xu Hua is not without safety protection, because when he sets up the rope himself, he will also hang the fast hanging of the safety belt on his body to the rope that has been placed behind him, and he also has a figure-eight buckle on his body, with a long rope, which is led all the way to the bottom of the cliff by the principle of pulley, and is pulled by the other three male team members.
If he is in danger, such as slipping or falling, then the male team member here can instantly pull him and hang him on the mountain, which can avoid the result of falling directly off the cliff and dying.
Of course, there are many accidents in these things, so it's best to try to avoid accidents.
While the others were opening the way, Jia Long and the rest of the team members were not idle, and they would help pull the rope underneath to prevent the rope from getting knotted at an important moment, which would be a bit embarrassing.
In this way, the speed of the people is not too slow.
Burst......
Puff puff.
On a hillside with an inclination angle of 70 degrees on both sides, Captain Xiao slammed the ice under his feet with an ice pick, and then opened it to the ground, and then stuffed a mechanical plug suitable for a gap in the ground under the ice block, and then hung the rope.
"Whew...... The rope is used so fast, and too much rope is used for this part of the road. ”
This is more than two hours after the climb, Captain Xiao looked at the team members behind him, and stepped on the ropes set up by several of their pioneers one by one, no one had any accidents, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Especially Jia Long, she is not at the end of the team now, because her skill level is worrying as a cushion, so let her walk in the middle.
The team is divided into small groups of four, and the groups are locked together by ropes, and if one person has an accident, the person behind them can at least share some gravity, so that the accident person is not so easy to get injured or die.
This is a very necessary thing, because during the two-hour walk, Jia Long fell once, Zhu Ying fell once, and another male team member also fell once, but they all escaped because of the pulling of the team members.
"Hah...... Ha...... It's high, it's good, it's scary. ”
Jia Long stepped diagonally on the snow footprints of his predecessors, stepping on a snowy road, and beside him was the big cliff with an inclination angle of seventy degrees that Captain Xiao and the others had opened just now.
This cliff is all the way down at a perfect 70-degree oblique angle, with a height of more than 30 meters, although the whole oblique angle is full of soft ice and snow, but it is definitely acceptable to roll down.
In such a high place, and relying on a rope by her side to save her life, even Jia Long felt a little worried about whether this thin rope was very helpful, after all, she was a newcomer, and she didn't know if these safety measures were effective.
So she walked tremblingly, and the words she said to show just now in the morning have been forgotten in the back of her mind.
Of course, this is very normal, but it was her first alpine climbing experience, and if she changed to someone else, let alone walking at such an oblique angle, she had already fallen and cried to her mother and walked home.
"Jia Long, you're already great, you actually wrestle as much as I wrestled, but we all have to work hard, don't drag everyone down."
Zhu Ying hung behind Jia Long, she served as Jia Long's support and companion, but when Jia Long fell just now, she didn't play much role, it was Jia Long who jumped up as soon as he fell, and she didn't drag others down.
It was Zhu Ying herself, who just fell at a small bevel angle, and almost pulled Jia Long in front of her to roll behind her, but Jia Long was quick and fast, and his reaction point was not slow to pull the life-saving rope around him, so that the two did not roll down the mountain together, causing them to pull their teammates in front of them again.
