Section 221
The world-famous Spanish mountaineer, Killian Hornet, also expressed his opinion on Twitter at this moment:
"It's really great to be able to climb to this height! This is already a height that many people cannot reach. It's time to consider going down the mountain. If we continue, the situation will not be optimistic!"
As soon as the tweet came out.
Many fans of Hornet who followed the live broadcast on YouTube also responded.
While liking Lu Yu's trip to Mount Everest, everyone's thoughts were unparalleled. They all wanted this Chinese man to retreat and save his life.
After all, only by surviving can the legend continue.
"Man, you are already amazing!"
"A human warrior, I will always support him!"
"Salute to 8,000 meters, this is the real extreme sport!"
"Although I know the hope of reaching the summit is slim, I still want to see the picture of him standing on the top of Mount Everest. That feeling is absolutely amazing!"
"God bless him to come back safely!"
"Young man, you are the pride of us earthlings!"
"Great, so moving, I really want to go to China to take a photo with him!"
...
In the live broadcast room, the audience's disappointment and consolation came into his ears.
Standing at the bottom of the third rock wall, Lu Yu took off his backpack.
While flipping through something, he cracked his dry lips and said slowly to the camera with a smile:
"On Mount Everest, there is a group of hooded cranes flying in the vast sky..."
"This kind of bird will make the most challenging migration every year - flying over Mount Everest."
As he said, he took out his crampons, put them on his hiking boots, and then continued breathlessly:
"When encountering a fierce blizzard, they will die in the thousands, but this will not stop them from moving forward."
"Before going up the mountain, I said that I have the only belief in eternal life with nature, and I will never look back under any circumstances, because--"
Put on the backpack.
Came to the location of the Chinese ladder in the previous life.
Lu Yu held the rock wall on his left hand side, panting and saying:
"Compared to being trapped here, I would rather go upstream!"

Every word is magnificent.
Persistent in the belief of living, the horn of charge was blown again.
In the live broadcast room, although the audience was shaken, many people still rekindled their desire to climb to the top, cheered up, and kept an eye on Lu Yu's every move.
Unknowingly, the time came to 6:30.
It was more than an hour later than the expected time to climb to the top.
The cold sunlight in the early morning fell down, reflecting the glittering rock wall.
Sniff hard, the nose is full of bitterness.
While frantically exchanging oxygen with the outside world, Lu Yu looked back and took out the ice pick and ice axe from his waist.
Looking up at the rock wall above his head, he calculated the climbing route.
Because the cracks in the rock were full of ice and snow, the only prerequisite for free climbing was completely shattered.
To climb up, you can only use ice picks and ice picks to break the ice and snow in the cracks.
Artificially create more rock points for climbing.
But at this height, it is not easy to keep your body stable, let alone do this kind of high-altitude work.
After thinking for a long time, Lu Yu's eyes moved to the left.
On the left side of the vertical rock wall, there is a huge rock that is inserted diagonally from the ridge of the third step.
The huge rock is wide and has some angles with the rock wall.
Perhaps, it can be a breakthrough point for this trip.
With the help of the angle formed by the rock wall and the huge rock, and the grip of the crampons and the strength of the thighs, the body can be completely curled up inside to keep the center of gravity.
With the center of gravity, it should not be a big problem to deal with the relevant rock points and pile one step at a time.
However, there is no doubt that this is definitely a big project.
Without super physical strength and endurance as a basis, it is almost difficult to achieve.
After all, the altitude is there.
With such a workload, the consumption of muscles and heart and lungs can be imagined.
But there is no good way at the moment.
In any case, we have to give it a try.
After thinking about it for a while, Lu Yu made up his mind, staggered to the front of the huge rock, and observed the structure of the rock surface.
Then, he stretched out his hand again and felt the friction.
I felt that there was no problem, and it could fully support the side teeth of the crampons.
As long as you pay more attention and coordinate the rock points in your hands with the moving distance, there is still hope.
Everything is ready.
Lu Yu found a crack in the rock above his head, broke the ice layers of varying thickness with an ice cone, and chiseled it in. He spoke only after making sure it was firm:
"Every dangerous place in nature will reserve a trace of life for humans. Find it, follow it, and you will overcome everything."
"The cracks on these cliffs are all deposited ice and snow. As long as I break them, I will get a rock point."
"Of course, one rock point is not enough to support the climb. So I have to climb and knock all the way, constantly creating more favorable climbing conditions for myself."
"This will be a long process, and it is also the ultimate test of physical strength and endurance."
After speaking, Lu Yu took a few deep breaths and grasped the ice cone with his right hand.
Then, he supported the left rock surface with his left hand, moved his feet one in front and one behind, and jumped into the air, performing a very basic rock climbing move: flagging.
Flagging, as the name implies, means to stretch out your legs like a flag.
This practice can maintain the center of gravity and is mostly used to climb the angle of the rock wall.
A perfect flagging will make the whole person curl up and fully exert the support of the limbs!
But flagging is not a way to break through all vertical rock faces.
Because this technical action has extremely strict requirements on the angle and development trend of the rock wall.
Whether large or small, it will cause the action to deform and thus fail to exert its power.
Fortunately, the angle here is still good. With the help of crampons, it can not only control the center of gravity well, but also does not hinder the movement of the lower limbs.
Soon, while stabilizing the center of gravity, Lu Yu used an ice pick to pry open the ice cone and continued to repeat the above process: create a rock point, pull the legs up, then create another rock point, and then go up...
Bucking the rock point is quite laborious and time-consuming.
Many times, it takes several minutes to conquer one.
It is very difficult.
It is also very strenuous.
However, this rock climbing method of using the whole body's strength to coordinate upward in the gap has made many mountaineers and mountaineering enthusiasts at home and abroad shine!
For a time, everyone was amazed by this clever rock climbing technique.
They all said that it was unheard of!
Wang Yongfeng had just finished saying that the conventional climbing technology could not conquer this antenna, and Lu Yu broke the convention, which really made him feel a little shocked and sighed!
The mountaineering movement in this world is already very backward.
Even the most basic rock climbing movements are something they have never seen.
In the previous life, flagging was really not a difficult technical movement.
It was just an entry-level mountaineering technique.
However, when Lu Yu used this basic rock climbing movement that was not worth mentioning at all, many mountaineering masters at home and abroad were shocked at the time!
Everyone's eyes were flashed with white light, and they exclaimed cleverness!
Exquisite movements.
Skillful position change.
Route setting.
Every detail is impeccable.
Flowing like clouds and water.
Perfect!
"Amazing..."
"How did he do it?"
"At such a high altitude, he can still maintain such a clear consciousness!"
"It's amazing!"
"He is really a genius!"
