Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 389 Kumbu Glacier

In the afternoon, due to the heavy snowstorm, everyone had to stop training and return to the camp.

At six o'clock, it was already cold outside the tent.

The tent was warm, and everyone gathered around the stove, eating hard-to-swallow dry food.

Wang Yongbo swallowed a mouthful of bread, and suddenly his face turned red. Seeing this, Bi Fang handed him a bottle of mineral water.

This bread makes me choke, hiccup.

No way, there are only these on the mountain, so make do with it.

Looking at the shriveled bread, Wang Yongbo lost his appetite under the high counter, lifted the curtain beside him, and the wind and snow poured in, and he let go of the cold: It's so windy outside, where did Yao Jun go?

Have you gone to play the autumn wind? Bi Fang thought for a while, He is not a person who can't figure it out. He probably wants to buy some good things to try.

Rob on the side hesitated after hearing this: The supplies here are basically the same, unless you spend a lot of money.

Hey hey hey, chicken soup is here!

As soon as the curtain of the tent was lifted, Yao Jun strode in with a cauldron in his hand, and the wind and snow was behind him, making everyone shudder.

Pu, cough cough cough.

Bi Fang took a sip of hot tea, took out a paper towel to wipe it, and quickly got up and lifted the lid of the pot. The heat was steaming. After the smoke completely dissipated, Bi Fang breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the whole chicken inside. chicken.

Your mother almost scared me to death, I thought you really went to kill a Tibetan snow chicken!

How is it possible? I'm a law-abiding citizen. Yao Jun grinned, put the pot on the oven, lifted the lid, and milky white steam rose up, and the smell of meat wafted everywhere, and everyone smelled it. They all gathered together, swallowing unconsciously.

Rob chewed the dry bread in his hand, feeling bitter and tasteless. He smacked his mouth twice, but he also couldn't hold back and leaned over. He asked curiously, Mr. Yao, where did your chicken come from?

Yao Jun laughed twice, took off his coat and sat cross-legged by the oven, picked up the fire hook and pushed aside the charcoal fire, thin sparks floated up, and the people next to him blew lightly, and they flickered out in disorder. After all the rest of the ingredients were poured into it, he explained: Last night I couldn't sleep anyway, and I always felt that my mouth was tasteless, so I called my assistant, and he helped me find a family to cook. I made a pot of chicken soup, and it couldn’t be boiled on the mountain, so I started to simmer it last night, and it has been simmering until now, all day and night, and it was brought directly to me. I thought I wouldn’t be able to eat it today, hehe.”

Wang Yongbo looked at the golden oil boiling in the pot, wiped his saliva, and asked without raising his head: It's so troublesome, it will cost a lot of money, right?

Compared to the entrance fee, it's a small amount of money. I'm here. Why don't you enjoy it? I'm on vacation when people climb mountains, and I eat meat when people eat bread! Yao Jun took out a small bowl and poured all kinds of seasonings into the Inside, Come, come, everyone, come and have a taste. The one-year-old hen is big, fat, and very oily. I have made an appointment for tomorrow. I will drink haggis soup, a big pot! It's hot!

Yao Jun picked up his chopsticks to greet the crowd, picked up a piece of chicken leg, blew it and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it comfortably, then put the sauce on the table, pouted his mouth at the crowd, and motioned for himself to do it.

Sherpas don't know how to stew, so I didn't ask him to add any seasoning, so the chicken has no taste, so you can adjust it yourself.

Steam swirled around in the tent, quickly filling the small space.

Everyone looked at each other through the faint clouds and mist, and the excitement flashed. They all picked up the chopsticks to pick up the meat, and even the lord took a small spoon to add it.

Rob also scooped up a small piece of meat and chewed it slowly. Perhaps it was because of the long enough time. The chicken was very soft and rotten. He looked curiously at the lively crowd in front of him. He had never seen such a strange combination.

I have led teams more than this time. There are puffy people, professional climbers, and families. It’s like traveling. You have to take a photo after walking two steps and post it on the Internet. When you see it, it’s full of cows The road of sheep dung has a bitter face. The chopsticks handed over by ordinary villagers have to be wiped several times. Some people's equipment is very luxurious, and there are tens of thousands of them at every turn, but they are exhausted after walking for an hour or two. There are also some who are taciturn along the way, as if they regard mountain climbing as a task, and they will be scolded by the boss if they don't complete it.

However, this group of people in front of them is completely different, a 90-year-old senior, a middle-aged vice president of a large company, a young rich second generation who loves to play, and a big anchor whose main business is live broadcasting.

Obviously, they seem to be the least like a group of people who can climb mountains, but they have successfully climbed to the base camp. The anchor who is the least like the leader, and should not be the leader, is the backbone of everyone. He can calmly swallow dry bread, drink noodles cooked by the villagers, walk with great strides, and never worry about whether his hiking shoes will be stained with cow dung, like a Sherpa who has lived here since he was a child , You don’t need to get used to it, you can start training directly, and you can climb rocks at a distance of 6,000 meters with just one throw of the gloves.

Everywhere I go, I can adapt to the rules calmly, and enjoy it, and even bring the people around me to enjoy the experience together.

Like... a natural born adventurer.

morning of the next day.

Rob walked out of the tent, picked up a few pieces of rubbish on the ground, looked at the tent beside him, squinted and smiled.

Those who have not used crampons before, must see the left and right signs clearly, and then click on the card slot accurately. It is very simple, first of all

Ten minutes later, Fisher, who watched the players put on their crampons, heaved a sigh of relief, and then also saw Rob standing aside.

Rob looked at the players behind Fisher and shook his head: Unbelievable.

Fisher took off his hat and patted Rob's chest: No way, the company wants to make money, I want to make money, you want to make money, everyone wants to make money, the times are developing, as long as everyone thinks they can make money Mount Everest, the more money you can earn, I heard that you also brought inexperienced climbers this time?

I thought so at the beginning, but there was a guy in it who gave me a very different feeling. He just came here the day before yesterday. Guess what he did? He climbed a rock wall of more than ten meters with his bare hands, and then put one on the ice. The guy on the slope was rescued, my God, I was dumbfounded at the time, you know? If he didn’t need a permit, I doubt he didn’t need a guide!”

Fisher raised his eyebrows and took a sip of coffee: This kind of person doesn't have any climbing records? Are you kidding me?

I think so too, but it's true. I don't have any climbing certificates. From my resume, I'm a complete rookie.

Fisher wrinkled his nose, looked at the sun and nodded.

Looking at it like this, Rob knew that the other party didn't believe it, but he didn't explain anything, so he could only change the subject: I heard that you have already gone to the front to clean up the icicles?

Yeah, the situation is worse this year. The old icicles are quite big. It took four or five ladders to get over it.

Just when Fisher was about to say something, he suddenly put on his sunglasses and patted Rob on the shoulder: Your team member.

Rob looked up and saw Bi Fang who had already put on his equipment neatly, and he couldn't help but laugh.

Bi Fang turned on the live broadcast.

[Fuck! Live broadcast in the middle of the night? 】

[Have you started climbing the mountain? Didn't you say it was going to start early in the morning last time? 】

【My God, isn't it too early? I hadn't slept yet, and suddenly I received a notification to start broadcasting. 】

[Shocked, two live broadcasts in one day]

[Are you going to camp C2 today? 】

[Climbing without oxygen, rush to fuck! 】

To be precise, it is not the C2 camp, but we are ready to climb to the summit. In order to achieve the best condition for the summit, we have to conduct three adaptive summit trainings, and then return to the camp, which can be C2 or C1. Now It’s past one o’clock in the morning, but we must quickly put on all kinds of equipment and prepare to set off. Taking advantage of the lowest temperature and relatively stable glacier, we can pass the Khumbu Glacier at an altitude of 5,700 meters, known as the ‘Terror Glacier’.”

The Khumbu Glacier is criss-crossed with large and small cracks, and the towering hanging glaciers may pour down at any time. The Nuptse Peak on both sides of the glacier and the huge Mount Everest are also at risk of avalanches. A checkpoint must be foolproof, yesterday we went to the pass, not the peak route of Mount Everest, and did not encounter the Khumbu Glacier, but today, it will be our only way.”

Bi Fang put all the tools on the ground and stuffed them into the bag one by one, making sure nothing was missed.

Because it is an anaerobic summit, the equipment must be lightweight, and there are almost no spare tools. I am going to wear a small seat belt. You should have seen it. It is the one I saved the day before yesterday. It is durable and used for ropes. Descending. Trekking poles, small ice axes, gloves, sunglasses, down jacket, pants, a soft water bag, there are a lot of water sources in the mountain, so all I need is a soft water bag to hold water on the ridge, and by the way, some energy gels and Energy bars.

Bi Fang took out a lot of chocolate bars from his spare bag and showed them to everyone. Energy bars are normal, similar to chocolate bars, while energy gels are disgusting and look like snot.

Then he grabbed a handful and stuffed it into his bag. This was Bi Fang's mountaineering fuel. With his strong digestion ability, it played an absolutely wonderful role.

Energy bars and energy gels can be eaten directly to supplement energy. Although energy bars and chocolate bars look the same and taste similar, chocolate contains 30 to 32 grams of fat per 100 grams, and the fat content is mainly saturated. Fatty acids. Therefore, chocolate is just a food that pleases the taste buds, and regular intake of chocolate is not healthy.

Energy bars limit fat intake on the premise of ensuring energy intake. Generally, one sports energy bar is used 1 hour before exercise. Use one within 30-60 minutes after exercise to increase glycogen storage and relieve muscle soreness during exercise.

Speaking of which, Bi Fang tore open an energy bar and gnawed on it: This is my breakfast.

[Is this really enough? 】

[Is this too little? 】

Walking out of the camp, the wind and snow had already stopped, and it was still pitch black outside, but many people had already got up and started to take action.

The sound of ice avalanches from the Kumbu Glacier rumbled from time to time...

After staying in this 'barren' for a long time, you will suddenly not know where you are. If there is no wifi connection, I might think that I am living on an alien planet. You can hear the sound like thunder, which is actually a glacier calving The sound, and the coughing sound, are due to the pneumonia and 'kumbu cough' caused by the dry cold in the high mountains.

Bi Fang was doing simple warm-up exercises. Every time he approached a tent, the audience could hear a coughing sound, one after another in the camp, like maggots attached to the bones, and the dark and gloomy environment, it was just like a horror movie.

Stretching all the muscles in his body, Bi Fang began to jog in small steps, and he always believed in one sentence.

Don't imagine that you can achieve it overnight. Every step you take before reaching the goal counts.

One step, another step.

How difficult is it to wait for Mount Everest?

In the long process of struggle, if you have not given up exercising because of laziness, if you have not dared to try because of fear; if you have not been unable to continue because of opposition from relatives and friends; Climbing knowledge; did not despise professional equipment because of ignorance; did not hang up in a certain training because of bad luck...

Only then will it be possible to become the one-in-a-million climber.

Soon, Bi Fang, who was warming up last night, found Rob. At this time, Yao Jun, Sir Alex and others were all ready, not to mention the Sherpas, who were generally experienced veterans.

Attenborough stepped out of the tent, and the cold air poured into his lungs, causing him to cough twice.

Bi Fang came to Edinburgh and said nervously, My lord, how are you? Are you feeling well? Is there any discomfort? If you feel any discomfort, please bring it up as soon as possible.

Attenborough waved his hand: It's okay, I was stimulated by the cold air, and I feel pretty good myself.

If you have any questions, you must tell me as soon as possible.

Attenborough nodded, indicating that he had no problem.

At this time, Rob was also ready for everything, and led everyone to start towards the snow peak: It takes about an hour to walk from the center of the base camp to the edge of the Kumbu Glacier, and then start to hang up the ascender and climb up. Be sure to follow closely in the middle I, and follow my footsteps, don't leave the team, even if it is a few meters, you may encounter a sudden glacier, and once you fall into it, you can almost be sentenced to death.

There are countless serac forests one or two stories high on the edge of the Khumbu Glacier. When you pass through in the dark, you will occasionally hear a loud 'click' in the inner layer of the serac, which is because of the sound of ice cracking. Panic, don't run around, let alone shout, because in the dark it is impossible to tell which direction the sound is coming from. Once you go in the wrong direction, it is almost impossible to come back, so you must follow me closely to observe the situation , Wait for it to pass quickly when there is no serious problem.

At this point, Rob suddenly paused, looked at Bi Fang, and added: Or follow Mr. Bi closely.

Hearing this, Bi Fang scratched his head.

Why do I always feel that Rob's attitude towards him is different?
