Chapter 418 Sprint?
The work of building the rope alone was very rough, but Bifang did not need to do it too delicately. Although one person was slow, the weight the rope had to bear was much less.
The wind is howling and rocks are often falling, which is the most important thing to pay attention to.
There are many reasons why rocks fall, such as melting snow, blowing off peaks, natural slides, etc.
Even if a small stone is as big as an eyeball, it may cause bleeding if it falls, and if it is not placed in the right place, you may fall directly down the mountain.
"We have to look up while climbing. If we see rocks rolling down in the distance getting bigger and bigger, they must be coming directly above us. We need to make quick judgments and avoid them in advance. Generally speaking, guides will choose to climb in the early morning when rockfall is less likely to occur, and avoid the relatively high temperature at noon."
Fortunately, everything went smoothly until Bifang arrived at the third camp.
The Lhotse Wall was covered with a thick layer of snow this year, which covered the bright ice, making the climb much easier for Bifang.
The altitude is 7165 meters and the total time is four hours.
Bifang set out at five in the morning, and it is only nine o'clock now, not even time for lunch.
At this time, Bifang had already passed the high-level clouds, and the clouds were flowing rapidly under his feet, while Mount Everest was still shining above his head and the sun was shining on his shoulders, like a fairyland on earth.
The last time I saw such a scene was when I was piloting geese with Etienne, breaking through the clouds in a storm. It seemed like a lifetime ago.
Turning my head and looking in the direction of Camp No. 2, the steep slope made the scenery behind me look like a circular world that was lifted up by a giant on both sides and closed in the middle, making it impossible to tell the direction.
The audience was completely captivated by the scenery on the top of the mountain. Although they were hindered by various reasons, mainly because they had no money, they still felt physically and mentally shocked to be able to climb Mount Everest in its entirety from a first-person perspective.
The beauty of nature is unparalleled.
【Beautiful wow】
[It’s too high, I’m already starting to feel oxygen deprivation]
Is this Mount Everest?
[I patted the fat on my belly and laughed]
Bifang smiled. At this point in time, he no longer spoke easily, but in this situation, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"The only thing you need to pay attention to is that Camp No. 3 is set up on a protruding area on the slope, and the widest part is only one meter wide outside the tent. So, when entering and leaving the tent, be careful not to trip over the tent ropes, and don't let your crampons pierce the tent. Of course, I don't have a tent."
"You see, there was an avalanche in front of the camp a few years ago, but fortunately no one was injured. Four climbers hid under the rocks and escaped. If an avalanche occurs during the climb, the sea of snow will cover the sky and the climbers will have almost no space to hide in such a narrow place."
However, although the scenery was beautiful, Bifang put on his snow goggles again after looking at it for .
In addition to bringing beauty and warmth, the sunshine here can also directly affect your body functions.
Many people may not have climbed Mount Everest, but those who have been there can feel the ultraviolet rays there that can sting the skin, not to mention the mountain being over 7,000 meters high, where it even breaks through the clouds.
Without a layer of reflection , ultraviolet rays will directly shine on the body and will quickly cause sunburn. If exposed for a long time, there will even be a "hot" feeling. Fortunately, Bifang is wrapped tightly, so as long as the face is not exposed, it will be fine.
"I wonder how he feels now?"
Sitting in the village at the foot of the mountain, Rob watched the live broadcast with envy. He envied Bifang's physical fitness and even his age.
Rob himself is already forty years old. Normally, experience and age are almost antonyms. Many famous climbers started their legendary lives after the age of thirty-five.
Even the Swiss machine that Bifang just mentioned, according to Rob's impression, only started to create one record after another after he was 35 years old, and completely made a name for himself.
How old is Bifang now?
Twenty-five?
Ten years ahead of all the mountaineering masters!
Ten years! What does this mean?
If he focused on mountaineering, Bifang would have had at least thirty years of his peak period, which would have made him a legend!
At this age, Rob is still trying to figure out how to climb a 7,000-meter mountain, but Bifang can already reach the third camp, an altitude of 7,200 meters, almost effortlessly on a solo without oxygen!
What is your reaction here?
The oxygen tank was on, but I always felt that I wasn't breathing enough; I took a short break from time to time, but I always felt tired. My physical strength was almost at its limit, and I was so tired that I didn't want to use any brain cells, but just mechanically moved up slowly again and again.
This monster can even talk!
Chat with your fans !
My God, if they hadn't been in a team together before and had watched the entire climb, Rob would really suspect that this guy had entered a studio with background boards behind him.
There is a saying that is so true: sometimes the gap between people is bigger than that between people and dogs.
As if he could see Rob's emo mood, Yao Jun also felt the same way. When he first entered the live broadcast room and saw the green young man, he just thought he was powerful and experienced. But slowly, Yao Jun discovered that this was not a human being, but a monster born for adventure.
If Uli is the Swiss machine, then Bifang should be the Chinese rocket!
Yao Jun patted Rob's shoulder and handed him a bottle of Coke: "Don't think too much, just admire him. Compared with him, anyone would feel inferior. Damn, the Coke here is so expensive. He actually charged me 500 rupees! Fifty rupees for a bottle of Coke, why doesn't he just rob it?"
Rob twitched his lips, opened the Coke and drank it all in one gulp.
At this time, the Bifang on the mountain also sat down and began to replenish energy. If it were an ordinary mountaineering team, the adaptation training would end at Camp No. 3, and they would start to retreat early the next morning.
At this time, the number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells in the body increases and will not disappear within a week. You can safely return to low altitudes to rest, recuperate and replenish energy.
If you stay in the base camp and do not go anywhere, it appears that you are adapting to the high altitude, but the energy consumed during the adaptation period is not replenished in time, and the blood cells cannot grow effectively.
but……
Bifang took a deep breath. He could clearly feel that the amount of oxygen he could take in had decreased, much less, but still within a tolerable range.
My physical condition is much better than I expected. Now the vertical distance between me and Mount Everest is only 1,600 meters, and it seems like it is really within reach.
The four dimensions and fifteen points represent unparalleled balance, the perfect ratio of fast and slow muscle fibers, and the oxygen uptake of over 80%, which destined Bifang to be the darling of endurance sports.
Whether to sprint or not, the weather is the most important factor, and the other thing is adaptation. But if you are in good shape, you don’t have to be too concerned about the so-called adaptation period. Why not sprint directly to the summit?
