Under the huge ice tower, gusts of wind howled.
Although the Xiao team caught up with Jia Long, all of them were panting and couldn't stop taking long breaths.
Ordinary mountaineers, even the world's top mountaineers, will have difficulty breathing at this altitude, and their blood will be viscous all over their bodies, and their mobility will be greatly hindered.
Jia Long, who could stand with them, seemed to be in a much better state than these professionals.
Team Xiao was very surprised, looking at Jia Long, who really wanted to continue to walk up.
That's right, according to the character of the little girl these days, under the cute and simple appearance, the essence is very strong.
Say six hours of testing, and she'll do it with all her might.
But Jia Long wanted to continue, and everyone in the team who followed her crazy all the way began to feel that they were not able to catch it.
After all, climbing a mountain is not such a simple thing, and it is by no means that someone in front of you has opened the way, and the teammates behind it will be as easy as taking an elevator.
Even if someone gets out of the way, the lack of oxygen at high altitudes, the risk of slipping, and the huge amount of physical energy and water still torture and rob everyone of their willpower and physical strength all the time.
The Xiao team followed closely because they didn't want to lose the face of professional mountaineers too much, so they hurried for a while. At least the route chosen by Jia Long is very safe, and the road rope is also built reasonably, so they can play at a super level without any worries.
Can you go any further?
Don't underestimate these 200 meters, it's going to be dark, and everyone will have to turn on their headlights to see, which will greatly slow down everyone's walking speed, and it is more likely to cause a slip that is not noticed.
And further up, the altitude gets higher, the oxygen content decreases further, and the temperature becomes colder.
In general, mountaineers are less inclined to climb too much altitude in one day, as there is also a huge risk of high anti-symptoms for them.
If you look at the situation at this time, everyone who is already hungry and has a dry mouth has been shouting headaches, and everyone's toes are stiff.
"Jia Long, I see ......"
Team Xiao was about to express his bitterness, and felt that he would definitely be able to cope with it when he came here today.
You must know that under this ice tower, it is already 8,000 meters above sea level, even if you find a suitable place to camp near here today, and start to reach the summit early tomorrow morning, there is a very big chance.
But when he raised his head and saw Jia Long standing higher than himself, this thought suddenly became speechless.
Because the little girl's eyes are so longing.
And she really has this strength, why should she block it? Are we, the old climbers, really not at all potential?
Frowning and thinking about it, he suddenly felt that as long as Jia Long could help them open the route to the top, then it was not impossible for them to fight along the route.
Then they followed Jia Long, and at the peak of 'Qiaogori Peak', they could still rise more than 1,000 meters above sea level in a day, which was an unexpected feat in the entire mountaineering industry.
"Okay, I'll tell you how the Wa Kingdom lived back then, and then you pack up your equipment and climb again, be careful."
"Well, but you'd better climb a little apart, because in my opinion, this ice tower route is prone to avalanches or rock avalanches, and if you get closer, you may be affected by rolling rocks or snow caused by your teammates."
"We still know these basics."
Jia Long listened to Team Xiao talk about where the team of the Japanese Kingdom had gone back then, and listened to his advice, and then the girl frowned slightly and raised her head wearing snow-capped goggles, feeling a little tricky.
"I'll go that way, Team Xiao, you guys will follow later."
Jia Long pointed to an area as far away from the ice tower as possible.
When climbing snow-capped mountains, there is one rule that is absolute, that is, do not approach the huge 'ice tower' that looks like an iceberg.
Ice towers, as the name suggests, are made up of ice and snow, and are huge ice masses like ice towers.
Large ice towers. It may even reach a height of more than 100 meters, like an incomparably tall ice and snow skyscraper.
Ice towers are very common in the peaks, but these ice towers are by no means as spectacular and beautiful as they look.
Because they are composed entirely of snow and ice, which is fragile in nature, and because of the perennial snowfall and melting of snow and ice at its peaks, these spectacular and beautiful snow and ice often represent instability, death, and great risk.
Many of the many mass casualties that have occurred in the history of mountaineering have been caused by avalanches in ice towers.
"Let's go."
Jia Long took a breath, and then walked straight to the edge of the ice tower with a not-so-fast pace.
The teammates behind him also followed one by one.
In the ice and snow, the cold wind from the mountains was constantly blowing, and everyone had to shrink up so that they would not be blown too cold by the strong wind.
Jia Long is no exception.
In fact, when she arrives here, no matter how adaptable Rao is, it is impossible for her to fully adapt to this extreme environment.
The whole person began to shiver because of the decrease in temperature, and the long legs and small half of the ice were a little unconscious, especially the thumbs of the feet, which felt cold to the bone, as if it was not their own.
Even Jia Long's white and tender little face, which was praised by everyone in the past, also had a relatively strong tanning at this time, but this tanning belongs to looking in the city, and it is easy to find people with a similar level of tanning.
But behind the scenes, a group of teammates is different.
They were tanned like, and even their lips were blue and purple, and they knew at first glance that they were dehydrated and damaged by too much ultraviolet light.
The sunset in the sky began to sink in the west, and the twilight sky could not bring too much heat to the top of the snowy mountain, so the temperature began to drop rapidly at an unbelievable speed.
Burst!
Ice picks pierce into fragile layers of snow and ice.
Jia Long did not choose an ice axe as the main climbing tool on the selected route, but used two ice picks that did not grow long, grasped one with one hand, and stabbed a small hole in one step in the way of a short crutch pillar, and moved forward with difficulty.
The cold wind around them was blowing, and the cold wind blowing made people shiver.
Such a violent wind speed is already a wind speed of about 20 kilometers that mountaineers think is very ideal on the high mountain.
This kind of wind speed is a kind of 'wind and sun' for Takayama.
Creak!
Pair snow boots with crampons and step on soft snow and ice.
After stepping on the first foot, Jia Long couldn't help frowning.
Because the boots under his feet are too deep.
More importantly, she felt that the ice in the snow was fragile.
After the icicle pierces into it, it can't bear too much force, and if there is even the slightest slip, and the ice pick can't bear the strength of the slip, then the consequences are unimaginable.
Fortunately, the teammates behind them climbed in a knotted rope group.
In fact, in this kind of terrain knotted rope group, it is not a very wise choice, but in order to ensure the life of the big guy, and at the same time, on behalf of the Xiao team, they chose to unconditionally believe in Jia Long's vision of choosing the route, so they still used the rope group climbing method.
Burst!
Jia Long continued to walk on the soft snow and walked on the slope that sloped upward.
Because it is close to the huge ice tower, some of the snowdrifts on the ground have even rolled to this side after the avalanche of the ice tower.
In fact, even though the team has been worried about the avalanche, the 'avalanche' has never stopped.
Yes, avalanches in the mountains are never unusual, and every once in a while, one or two avalanches can always be heard, although they are not easy to happen on a large scale, but those on a small scale can often smash a person, or even bury a person.
This ice tower route cannot be avoided, so it all depends on luck.
"The route detected by the alertness skill is definitely no problem, I have to believe in myself! I have to believe in myself! ”
The higher the girl climbed, the stronger the tension in her heart became.
They always felt that the hundred-meter-high ice tower that stood not far away would collapse over this side, or there would be a huge avalanche that would overwhelm their entire team.
But fortunately, the intermediate alertness skills are still powerful.
At least Jia Long breathed hard, and when he climbed to about half the height of the ice tower while building a rope, Ren did not have any accidents.
So worrying about the mood is just unfounded.
Wow......
However, when climbing to the middle of the course, that is, about 100 meters high of the ice tower, an earth-shattering roar sounded.
Jia Long turned her head to look, and then in her dumbfounded, a huge snow slope that seemed to suddenly collapse slid down the snow slope in another direction on the ice tower, causing an incomparably shocking smoke and dust effect.
It's a small avalanche, and it's close at hand.
"Wow, that scared the hell out of me."
The girl patted her chest in horror, and licked the corners of her chapped lips, and there was not much saliva in her throat.
It's completely freaked out.
"Ah, this avalanche is bigger than the last time."
"It's terrible, is this the mountain, I won't go to kill it."
"It seems that the avalanche is quite far away, Meng Longlong doesn't have to worry, you guys are fine."
"Of course she's fine, because that's the route she's carefully chosen."
In the barrage, the audience also made words as if they were very frightened.
Although it was a little scary, the soundscape effect of this avalanche was still very good.
At least the drone once again 'coincided' and captured the whole process of the initial generation and end of the avalanche, which makes people feel that this picture is too precious.
Maybe it will be collected and studied by many netizens and even relevant research units.
"The teammates below were also frightened, but now we are already climbing halfway up the edge of the ice tower, and if we are still at the bottom, maybe the Xiao team will choose to retreat."
Jia Long knows very well that in mountaineering activities, 'prudence' or even 'timidity' is the biggest weapon that mountaineers rely on to survive and protect themselves.
You are not cautious enough, and in this kind of movement where death and injury can occur at any moment, death is destined to come to you.
"They paused for a moment and started to climb up again, but fortunately, they didn't make the decision to retreat."
