In the snow, the owner of a pair of green boots curled up and lay stiffly in the snow and ice in a cave, as if he was just taking a nap.
The three beautiful colors of red mountaineering clothes, blue mountaineering pants and green mountaineering boots make him stand out among the white and gray tones of Mount Everest.
The famous "green boots".
Puba told the audience that this is one of the three "corpse marks" on Mount Everest. Next to it is the equally famous rester. Before death, he kept his hands on his knees and stared straight into the distance.
.
It can be said that these corpses are "street signs".
But Bifang didn't stop. He just glanced at it briefly and then continued towards the summit along the southeast ridge of Mount Everest.
Time gradually passes, climb up, and rest. After passing the third corpse mark "Sleeping Beauty", continue climbing and rest.
It was another two rounds of training, during which Bi Fang ate more than once to replenish his body's energy. On Mount Everest, true "anaerobic exercise" requires extremely huge consumption every 100 meters of climbing, and this consumption is still increasing.
The higher the altitude, the greater the consumption of water, physical strength, and energy.
At 8,700 meters, Bi Fang climbed to the south peak. In front of him was the last obstacle to the summit of Mount Everest.
【Hillary Steps!Hillary Steps!】
Even at this time, Puba couldn't help repeating it twice, and even his typing fingers were trembling slightly.
It's incredible.
For Bifang, Puba's senses were very complicated. Even after Tenzin came to find him and the two parties actually met, Puba still had some hidden disdain in his heart. Perhaps even Puba himself didn't feel it at the time.
It was only because of Tenzin's request, what Bi Fang had done, the Sherpas' sincere equality and respect for them, their yearning for the sacred mountain, and out of concern for the younger generations that Puba decided to
Finally decided to help.
But now, Puba, who has witnessed miracles, looks back at everything in the past and has to admit that he did have such emotions in his mind at that time.
I have climbed to the summit of Mount Everest 21 times in a row. Countless Sherpas and even many people around the world regard me as a legend, but even so, I dare not try to climb the summit without oxygen or even alone.
Let alone climbing to the summit alone without oxygen, talent, talent, ability, and luck are all indispensable.
But now, a twenty-five-year-old young man who has never been to Mount Everest is about to succeed in what he was unable to do when he was young.
Puba's face was complicated. At this time, he was even slightly jealous. Maybe he was jealous of the other person's youth, or maybe he was jealous of the other person's achievements. Now he was a little ashamed, but more of it was admiration.
Because the mountain is right there.
Taking a deep breath, Puba typed on the keyboard and made his final explanation.
[During the final summit push on the south slope, you must pass through the southeast ridge from the south peak to the highest point, a 12-meter-high almost vertical rock section of the mountain. Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay were the first to climb over it.
The team that climbed to the top here was later named the "Hillary Steps" by the mountaineering community.]
[This "step" was blown away during the earthquake in 2015, leaving only a "snow nest". Now there are no more steps to climb Mount Everest on the south slope, but there is no doubt that the name Hillary Step will always remain
Keep it.】
[But the snow nest is still narrow, and even because it is too narrow, congestion often occurs here. You may have to wait for a long time due to congestion, and people often die on Mount Everest because they wait too long.]
Bi Fang has excellent eyesight. Looking from the south peak, he can see that the Hillary Step is very narrow, as narrow as the back of a stegosaurus, with almost only room for one person to pass.
It's so famous that it even scares people psychologically.
The only thing that is known is that rescues above the "Hillary Steps" have never been successful.
The abyss is crawling at your feet, waiting for the "delicious meal" to fall into your mouth. The jumpsuit has become an armor of ice and snow.
Fortunately, Bi Fang's hands and feet were not frozen due to waiting, so he continued climbing along the snow slope of the ridge.
The last level, the real last level, is only a hundred meters away!
There is only one Hillary Step between the south peak and the summit!
A miracle is about to happen before your eyes!
The audience stopped breathing in unison, but their heartbeats continued to accelerate. The originally noisy live broadcast room was instantly cleared, and the entire screen was filled with the vast sky. Everyone watched the peak getting closer and closer, and their pupils trembled slightly.
In the village at the foot of the mountain, Puba and others sat together, holding their breath.
In the Shanghai Airport, Huang Tianming's bloodshot eyes widened and he breathed almost at the same time.
In the Arctic Circle, Etienne was so excited that he almost jumped up.
Ugly country, Peter grabbed Tony's arm excitedly.
Yang Guo, Matthew tightened his grip on his pen.
Audiences from all over the world, students on vacation, office workers in companies, housewives buying food in the market, those who stay up late, those who get up early, those who stay up all night, millions of attention are focused on this.
There are heavy breathings in the ears, rapid and deep, which makes people worry whether the person who made the sound will collapse.
The 12-meter-high gravel steps... A few years ago, this would have been a huge rock with a smooth surface and no place to hold onto. Now, it's much easier.
Bifang stepped on the gravel, and his brain had no room for thinking. If someone lifted the mask, they would find that his lips were slightly purple.
Time 9:14 am.
The wind rolls and the clouds relax, and the current flows endlessly.
Bi Fang stopped and took one last look behind him, looking at the long ridge behind him that had just come up. The shadow of the ridge almost encompassed the mountains, as if he was also part of this huge body.
This is the last look, representing all the scenery on the road, including stone beaches, ice, snow, seracs, wild blue sheep, alpine crows, icy rivers, cliffs and even natural disaster avalanches.
All of that has its final reward.
Bi Fang silently took off his gloves.
The next second, a strong hand grasped the rock crack on the edge of the peak, and then drove the whole body through the crack to the broad ridge, climbing completely!
Mount Everest was as crystal clear as jade in the morning light. Bifang took off his cold-resistant mask and suddenly fell to the ground, which shocked everyone, but then he started laughing and burst out laughing.
Looking around, there are tens of thousands of miles of sunshine, the mountain peaks are towering into the clouds, the sky is as blue as if it has been dyed, countless snow peaks are surging with wind and clouds, but they all "surrender" under his feet, and the stretching clouds are rushing towards the sun.
interest.
The laughter became louder and louder, and the violent laughter put his body, which was already lacking oxygen, into further trouble. He started coughing again, and then started laughing again after coughing, and the cycle started again.
The sound spread out in circles, resounding throughout the mountains and the howling clouds and forests.
From Kathmandu to Lukla, from base camp to the death zone.
Dragging heavy steps through the death zone, every step is painful, but everything is worth it.
What Bi Fang pursues, takes risks, and longs for is right at his feet, right in front of him, and right next to him!
The highest peak, the real highest peak!
There is no higher height on earth that he can challenge!
Bi Fang's eyes suddenly turned red, and the urge to burst into tears hit his tear ducts one after another.
No matter in his previous life or this life, Bi Fang never thought that he could reach the roof of the world just by his ability. If someone told him that he could, it must be a dream, it must be an illusion, like a dream in vain.
Now, reality has happened.
Really changed.
Bi Fang raised his head to stop his wet eyes, struggled to stand up from the peak, and put on his gloves again. The next second, a metal pipe as thick as a thumb was held in his hand.
Looking through the hole, it looks like a telescopic tube.
With a flick, the red flag fluttered.
Bi Fang used his last strength to insert the flag into the ice cap, causing ice chips to fly.
The red flag with five stars rustled in the strong wind, flying towards the homeland across the mountain.
The clouds dispersed,
Rizhao Jinshan.
May 10th, 9:20 am.
The first person in China to climb Mount Everest alone without oxygen.
