Chapter 1330 Is so Different
Probably God thought it was too easy for him to climb all the way.
From 11 o'clock in the evening, the sky began to snow slowly.
Early the next morning, Danba and others frowned and kept looking at the top of the mountain and the sky.
If there is heavy or moderate snowfall, then needless to say, the summit plan must be postponed and wait at the base camp for a few days, even ten days, or a month or two.
But this light snow had little impact on Danba and the others, because the wind was not strong at this time.
The best time to climb to the top is when the wind speed is low, or even without wind.
And from the bottom of their hearts, they hope that Li Changheng will not succeed in reaching the summit this time.
Because according to their experience, those who did not succeed, as long as their conditions and health permit, will definitely do it again in the future.
Li Changheng didn't worry about these aspects, but he didn't have so much time to wait on the top of the mountain for half a month or a month.
Of course, this is just the idea of Danba and others.
As long as Li Changheng is willing, he can wait for three months.
But if that's the case, he won't wait foolishly. After all, April to June is already the best season for summit climbing two months later.
Might as well go down the mountain and come back three months later.
"Are you sure?"
Hearing Li Changheng's question, Danba and others looked at each other with several people who had accepted the search and rescue mission in the base camp before, and finally a mountaineering enthusiast from the United States spoke.
"Boss, as far as I know, there are 7 people who braved the snow to climb to the highest point, so if you have no problem, Danba and the others will definitely accompany you up.
But the risk of climbing the mountain in the snow is definitely much higher. Once Danba feels wrong, you must listen to his cancellation of the summit.
And I suggest you wait a few days, or come back after April. Anyway, you have no financial burden. "
These words are absolutely pertinent, Li Changheng has no reason not to listen, nor would he give up without giving it a try.
"If you are ready to go now, is there enough time?"
"NO, NO, NO."
Danba and others quickly shook their heads, "After the snow falls, we will definitely need a leading team. My opinion is to let the two summit guides start first, and we will leave in half an hour.
In this way, you can first check whether the road conditions and the equipment crossing the ice cave are firm, and ensure your safety to the greatest extent. "
"OK, you have the final say," Li Changheng agreed without hesitation, and then looked at the two guides who could tell from their expressions that they were going first and said, "Whether you succeed or not, I promise you will be satisfied with the bonus."
Fa Ke, several members of the mountaineering team cursed in their hearts. It was clear that they were using money to exchange success rate and their own safety.
But although this trick is clichéd, it is definitely useful.
The faces of the two guides who took the risk to go first showed excited expressions.
Originally, each of their four summit guides could share 80,000 US dollars. If bonuses were added to this, they might be able to retire directly.
Buy a large piece of land at the foot of the mountain, build a big house, and buy a few hundred cows, basically you don't have to worry about it for a lifetime.
Li Changheng looked at Danba and another summit guide again, "Don't worry, you are the same, after all you have to accompany me to the highest peak."
Danba and the two immediately laughed too.
After getting his things ready, Li Changheng picked up the handheld video recorder and started filming the two guides who were going first.
After the two officially set off and walked tens of meters, the camera turned to face him.
"Dear Angela, Louis and Laura, Daddy is standing in the base camp of the 8,000-meter summit of Mount Everest right now.
The two trail guides have already set off, and in half an hour, Daddy will follow the two guides who accompany me to the summit to start climbing the final 848 mountain road. "
The camera turned again, to Danba and another guide, and after some introductions, to several members of the climbing team.
Everyone is still very interested in appearing in front of the two heirs of the Selby family and Laura, the hereditary earl.
Besides, what if this video tape appears in the hands of the media for some reason.
Then I and others might be seen by tens of millions, even hundreds of millions, or billions of viewers.
So a few people from the United States and France were very willing to appear in the camera, and then some people also tried to come over and appear in the camera after seeing the situation here.
Seeing that Li Changheng didn't object, more people came over.
And Li Changheng wished that as many people as possible would show up, with these people testifying, no one would doubt whether he had really climbed Mount Everest in the future.
Ten minutes later, Li Changheng waved to everyone, signaling that it was time.
Then hang the camera on the chest, fix it with a tight string, and check the backpack and other equipment on one side again. Under the watchful eyes of more than 20 people, they followed Danba and began to climb up.
The first few hundred meters were fairly easy to walk, and there was no rope to draw on, but after reaching above 8500, not only a steep slope appeared, but also a section of cliff that could only be relayed by half a foot.
And unlike most summit climbers in the future, who will use oxygen cylinders for the whole process, the summit at this time can be described as a real battle with the limit.
Even people like Danba had to rest for a while after taking two steps at this time, so as to have enough strength to continue to climb forward.
But Li Changheng felt that he was tired at most, and he didn't suffer from dizziness or lack of oxygen.
It's just that every time you breathe, the body actually self-regulates and prolongs the inhalation time.
In the past, each inhalation was about one second, but now each inhalation is at least two seconds.
The oxygen content near the top of Mount Everest is only 30% of that at sea level, which means that although the oxygen I inhale every time cannot be completely compared to the normal situation, it should be able to reach 70 to 80%.
In this way, let alone lack of oxygen, Li Changheng even felt that he could climb a steep slope of seven or eight meters in a few seconds.
But what he didn't know was that because of his faster pace, the two of Danba also unknowingly became a little bit stiffer than when they reached the summit a few times before.
When we reached 8,700 meters, we actually caught up with the two guides who set off for half an hour first.
Danba immediately understood that he was taken away by his employer.
Even the leading guide showed an incredulous expression after discovering the three of them.
This also means that the two of Danba consumed more energy and oxygen in their bodies.
If you think too much, your mood will become chaotic. Danba suddenly felt a little short of breath, and without hesitation, he took out the miniature oxygen bottle and started to inhale oxygen.
Seeing this, another guide also took out the oxygen cylinder.
Anyway, everyone has climbed to the summit a long time ago, and they don’t care about the honor of reaching the summit without oxygen. Of course, their own lives are more important.
Li Changheng made several gestures to Danba and the two, asking if they need to give up.
With only the last 148 meters left, Li Changheng certainly would not give up. Ten seconds later, Danba, who felt much better, gave him a thumbs up.
Then I just wanted to see where Li Changheng's limit was, and to watch him reach the summit without oxygen.
