Section 213

Even the most professional mountain climbers will be afraid of three points!

After a short stay, Lu Yu tried hard to control his breathing, then put away the climbing rope and walked northwest towards 7,400 meters.

The road from North Col Camp to 7,400 meters is basically walking on the ridge.

The entire journey is a rare mixture of rock and snow.

The slope is not steep, but the distance is long.

If the North Col ice wall is a test of courage, then this section of the road is a double test of the climbers’ physical strength and endurance!

It starts at 7028 meters and ends at 7500 meters.

This is the third largest snow slope on Mount Everest, with a gentle slope and a long route.

The most important thing is that there must be a large air outlet in the middle.

The windy outlet between 7,400 and 7,500 meters is the windiest section of Mount Everest. There are almost no shelters around, so climbers can only go against the wind.

In bad weather, the maximum wind speed of the strong wind outlet can reach 90 kilometers per hour, which is quite terrifying.

Although the terrain is gentle, the wind here is another major obstacle that hinders Lu Yu's progress.

Soon, after leaving the North Col, Lu Yu said goodbye to the last section of the snow slope and completely entered the rock-snow mixed zone.

In order to march better, he stopped, sat down on the ground, and gasped crazily: "It will be particularly difficult to hike with crampons in the rock-snow mixed zone."

“I could trip over exposed rocks if I wasn’t careful, so I had to take off my crampons, just in case.”

Through the lens, the audience can clearly see that the wounds and dirt on Lu Yu's face have become more and more vicissitudes of life after being baptized by the cold wind, and his whole appearance has changed.

If it weren't for the firmness in his eyes, many people might find this scene particularly embarrassing.

Absolute restricted area of ​​life!

It is really not easy to conquer it completely.

While talking, Lu Yu took off his crampons and his feet were finally freed.

When he got up, he moved around a bit.

Easy.

There was a feeling of relief.

"It's much lighter, but in order to pass here safely, I still need some equipment... I don't know if you can feel it, but the wind is getting stronger and stronger all around."

While flipping through his backpack, he said out of breath: "Because of the terrain, there are almost no big ups and downs on the next road. But the scary thing about Mount Everest has never been the terrain."

"There are many snow-capped mountains that are steeper than Mount Everest around the world, but only Mount Everest is known as a forbidden area of ​​life. The main reason for this is its harsh living environment."

"Further forward at 7,400 meters, it is the windiest section on Mount Everest. Many geographers named it the Big Wind Point. Believe me, its maximum wind strength will definitely exceed your imagination. It can soar to 100 meters without any effort. grade ten."

Lu Yu took out a windproof mask from his backpack and covered his mouth and nose. "To avoid frostbite on the facial features, I must wear a windproof mask at this time. The windproof mask can greatly reduce the lethality of the cold wind..."

After saying this, he picked up his backpack and continued walking forward.

Because there are no crampons, the feeling of walking is different from before.

There is less bondage and more freedom.

The only unsettling thing was that the wind was getting stronger and stronger.

I didn't feel much at first and could still cope with it.

But when it was almost 7400, the wind and snow changed from normal, becoming so violent that it was almost impossible to move.

Every meter forward was extremely difficult.

The wind from the large tuyere is a typical "narrow tube effect" and is quite fast.

If you encounter a blizzard, the wind will become stronger and people can be blown away in an instant.

It is precisely for this reason that Dafengkou is known as the second most difficult point in climbing Mount Everest on the north slope!

In the previous life, during a climb by the Chinese Mountaineering Team in the 1970s, when the first assault group hit the wind outlet for the first time, twenty or thirty people suffered frostbite at the same time.

In the end, five people were missing, two died, and the team had no choice but to retreat.

The turbulent cold wind stirred up Lu Yu's one-piece down jacket.

His figure was gradually outlined in the darkness.

Even the best stuffed down can’t withstand the hurricane here.

Facing the camera, Lu Yu hunched over, lowered his center of gravity, and tried to move forward slowly.

But it has no effect at all.

In desperation, he could only kneel on the ground and move his body bit by bit against the fierce wind and snow.

But even so, there were still several times when he was almost knocked down, resulting in a chaotic rhythm.

The powerful hurricane, mixed with snowflakes, changed Lu Yu beyond recognition.

The whole body is covered with snow-white.

It’s about to become one with this snowfield...

In the live broadcast room, the audience had mixed feelings when they saw this scene.

Not only was I shocked by the confrontation with the wind and snow, but I was also amazed by the difficulties and obstacles on the road to Mount Everest.

"horrible!"

"Isn't this wind strong enough to reach Level 10?!"

"Shocking!"

"It's too difficult. What will happen if you get on it? Is it worth it? Anchor, please go home!"

"It's not worth it or not!"

"Support the anchor, come on!"

…

On the long windy and snowy road, the wind is increasing instead of decreasing.

The violent snow and gravel kept hitting the camera, making people feel panicked.

At this moment, Lu Yu lay on his hands and knees on the snow, grabbing the rocks exposed in the snow with both hands, fighting against every gust of wind and snow alone.

Because I was wearing gloves, it was very difficult to hold the rock.

Even if I tried my best, it was difficult to fully grasp it.

For a while, I couldn't move forward or backward, and the situation became very embarrassing.

"Huh!"

Instantly!

Just when I was in trouble, the wind force increased by 30%.

The live broadcast screen began to shake constantly, and the rustling sound was endless.

Just watching it was extraordinary.

The next second, when the audience was exclaiming, an unprecedented huge impact suddenly came, as if to overturn everything on the snow mountain!

Chapter 187 Blizzard is coming, and the temperature outdoors is low! (Please subscribe,

The sudden attack of wind and snow whistled past my ears.

It sounded like the last warning from the sacred mountain to the climbers!

Then, a terrible thought came out of Lu Yu's heart: the blizzard is coming!

On the high-altitude snow-capped mountains, blizzards will come anytime and anywhere.

There will be no signs or reminders.

Even the most advanced weather forecasting system cannot fully grasp its rules.

Back then, Yan Genghua, the first person in China to climb Mount Everest, encountered a blizzard on his way down from the summit.

The ultra-low temperature of minus 75 degrees Celsius instantly froze his body and put him to sleep forever.

The lower the altitude, the more likely it is to cause low-temperature frostbite.

Sometimes, climbers just want to take a short break, but they never wake up again in the wind and snow.

But at the moment, low temperature is not the first boss to bear the brunt.

The raging cold wind is the number one killer that Lu Yu has to face!

Because the incident happened too suddenly, there was no time to deal with everything in front of him.

The next second!

Before he could react, the ruthless blizzard directly flipped him to the ground and blew him down a hundred meters away!

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

One flip and two rolls!

Three flies and four falls!

The sky was spinning in his sight.

He couldn't see east, south, west, or north clearly.

He couldn't even tell where he was.

Lu Yu was at the mercy of the wind and snow, drifting along with the flow!

For a moment, the unique terrain of the rock-snow mixed zone made him feel dizzy and lost his sense of direction.

But with the strong support of adrenaline, the pain in his body was not so obvious, and he only felt dizzy.
