Live Wilderness Adventure

Chapter 412: acquaintance

After struggling to get to Camp No. 1, Bi Fang breathed cold mist from his mouth, squinted at the sun, then turned up his sleeves to check the time, and let out a snort.

"11:37, not bad, we didn't miss lunch."

It took nearly ten hours to set off from 2:00 a.m. to Camp No. 1. The entire Khumbu Glacier seems to have risen only a few hundred meters above sea level, but the actual advancing distance is more than 14 kilometers, a veritable "long-distance trek" .

Among them, there are countless large and small cracks that cross the domain. The aluminum ladder alone has passed seventeen, and now finally reaches the No. 1 camp.

[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]

Standing on this huge platform, the view is very good. Bi Fang expands his lungs and takes a deep breath. Although the air here is fresh, it will never be pleasant to breathe, because the oxygen content you can take in is too low.

Standing at the entrance of the camp, Bi Fang could be said to be able to see the "high" mountains. At this time, his altitude was only 6,000 meters, but the height of the surrounding peaks was almost 8,000 meters.

Holding the unflyable drone, Bi Fang held the trekking pole and shook it to the distance.

"The weather is good today, the fog is not too heavy, we can see clearly, from left to right, there are four peaks above 8,000 meters, Cho Oyu, Mount Everest, Lhotse and Makalu. The top of the mountain is Mount Everest, and the large gray area at the bottom of the mountain is the huge Gozumba Glacier, and the white lower part is the frozen Gokyu Third Lake."

The mountain peaks are towering, and the audience is at a loss for words for a while.

"On the entire planet there are only 14 peaks above 8,000 meters above sea level, 10 of which are in the Himalayas and the other four are in the Karakoram Mountains."

[Himalaya is still a brand]

[Ten, but aren't there many hills nearby? Doesn't that count? 】

Many viewers saw the Cho Oyu Peak that Bi Fang was referring to, the shortest of the four peaks, but above it, there were sharper peaks higher than it, adding up to more than four peaks.

Bi Fang shook his head: "Those are Wei peaks or peaks in front of the peaks, generally speaking, they do not count. In geography, the highest mountain in a mountain range is the main peak; a solitary mountain top is an independent mountain; the distance from an independent mountain peak is The closest ones are Weifeng and Fengqianfeng, which are higher than Cho Oyu, but the Weifeng of other peaks, although they are more than 8,000 meters, they are not included."

"Of course, what I just said was inaccurate. The accurate description should be a group of peaks with a height of more than 8,000 meters above sea level. In fact, there are more than 14 peaks on the earth with a height of more than 8,000 meters above sea level. Weifeng at 8,000 meters."

As the name implies, a peak group is a "collection" of an independent mountain and all its guard peaks... The concept of a main peak is well understood. For example, Mount Everest is the main peak of the Himalayas.

But what does it mean to be "alone"? How can there be "lonely" peaks in the vast mountains such as the Himalayas? How close is "closer"? … These concepts are qualitative rather than quantitative, and the definitions are not clear, which makes the “identity” certification standards for 8000-meter peaks unclear.

[Where did this standard come from? 】

The audience was surprised. Where did the unified statement of 14 seats come from?

"That's because in the more than 100 years of the rise of mountaineering, only the British military surveying and mapping team has systematically measured these mountains, so their statement about '14 seats' was preconceived, and it was later unanimously recognized by mountaineers.

Mountaineers also concluded based on practical experience that these '14' are actually the highest peaks among the 14 8,000-meter-level peak groups, that is, independent peaks. Around the independent peaks, even if the altitude exceeds 8,000 meters, they are Wei peaks. "

[Is Lao Fang also a mountaineer now (dog head)]

Bi Fang was happy, but he didn't admit it, but he didn't deny it: "You can call me that after I reach the summit of Mount Everest alone without oxygen."

Although he has not yet made any specific achievements in mountaineering, he can make Bi Fang occupy a place in the mountaineering festival just by climbing Mount Everest without oxygen, not to mention climbing the summit without oxygen alone, with double buff blessing, the entire Mount Everest has reached the top. No more than the number of hands in history has such an achievement.

If that doesn't count as a mountaineer, then most of the climbers who call themselves so are ashamed to commit suicide.

Awesome!

The audience doesn't understand so many twists and turns, but at the moment there is only one thought in their hearts.

[Dengding alone is an invincible road, why do you need to borrow oxygen cylinders. 】

[I was the first to not agree to Teacher Ma's withdrawal from the literary world back then. 】

[There is one more identity authentication, I wonder if anyone who hangs up can count how many identities Lao Fang has? 】

[Mathematicians, chemists, physicists, biologists, mountaineers, adventurers...more later additions]

[Architect, aviator, astronomer (dog head)]

"It's all a little bit of understanding, and where it's called a family name, you don't want to kill it." Bi Fang waved his hand, making the audience laugh.

Without stopping too much at the entrance of the camp, Bi Fang planned to continue climbing after making some repairs at Camp No. 1.

"I'll make some repairs here, replenish my energy, recover my stamina, and then continue to climb. After passing the Khumbu Glacier, the risk of the next part of the road is much lower. We only need to go up 400 meters and UU read a book. www.uukanshu.com can directly reach the second camp, the distance is about five kilometers, but the danger is much less than the Khumbu Glacier, and because of this, we don’t need to pursue the midnight departure.”

Entering the No. 1 base camp at this time, the audience can clearly see that the corner in the southeast has been completely submerged by snow, and there are several colorful tents on the edge, which are also affected by avalanches.

At this time, there are still people staying, mourning their dead companions, and packing up their things to go back.

This is undoubtedly a low atmosphere. When I came here, not only did my dream not come true, but I lost my life because of it.

According to the sign on the tent, Bi Fang came to the resident tent that the guide company had prepared.

As a regular guide company, there is not only Rob, but many guides. These people need to settle down when they come to the base camp. The company will naturally prepare camps and materials every quarter, and because of the strong wind on Mount Everest, almost every year To be renovated.

When the curtains were opened, a burst of hot air rushed in, and the temperature inside the tent was much higher than that outside.

"Today's weather is really good. It's warm in the tent, but the wind is a bit strong. Now we need to add as much water as possible, and then eat something. I'll take a nap later, about an hour and a half. , use a full sleep cycle to restore energy."

At this time, the tent was empty, but some supplies were left. Bi Fang disassembled the fuel, and then lit the stove with a lighter, ready to cook something to eat.

Unexpectedly, there was a burst of shouting and shouting from outside the tent.
