"Into Thin Air" has been read. It may be that I am too ruthless, and I feel that the author feels a little too guilty for the death of his climbing partner.
Get some information about climbing the mountain from the book:
Mount Everest is a triangular cone, divided into the west ridge, the southeast ridge, and the winter north ridge.
It usually takes more than a month to climb Mount Everest.
Look at the content of other books cited in each chapter. There are two books about Mount Everest that are worth reading-"Mount Everest" and "Mount Everest|West Ridge".
Mount Everest can be entered from the base camps of Nepal and my country, because the Nepal side is relatively easy to climb, so the number of people climbing the mountain in Nepal is much higher than that in my country.
The first person to climb Mount Everest is not the same person who uttered the most reasonable saying about Mount Everest - "Because the mountain is there". The first person to climb Mount Everest was Edmund Hillary, and the person who climbed with him was Tenzing Gaynor. It was questioned at the time which of the two people reached the summit first, but after many years, Hillary said he was the first to reach the summit. It is worth mentioning that on the route to the top of Mount Everest, there is a rocky step that is very difficult to climb. It is called the Hillary Step (it is probably named after him), but climbing up After this place, it seems that the top will be reached soon. It was George Mallory who said "because the mountain is there". He tried to climb to the summit several times and finally died on Mount Everest. The top is more likely.
The settlement points in the climbing route are generally the Everest base camp and camps 1-4. It is said that the distance between the camps is 600 meters. Before actually leaving the base camp to start mountaineering, there will be a plan to carry out high-altitude adaptation exercises, and will make a short stop from the low camp to the high camp and then turn back. After training for a period of time, you will adapt a lot to high altitude.
In mountaineering activities, the Sherpas living on Mount Everest carry supplies for the climbers. It is said that without the help of Sherpas, it is impossible for people to climb Mount Everest. Oxygen, living supplies, route modification, etc., seem to be all done by them. Because they have been living in the mountains, they can perform high-intensity operations at high altitudes. Generally, people are in poor physical condition at high altitudes, and it is impossible to bring the things they need for life. They can climb up with bare hands. is the problem. However, in a place like Mount Everest, in the face of the absolute authority of the harsh environment, physical fitness, survival skills and experience are actually difficult to save lives. Many very good climbers have been lost on Mount Everest, many of whom have reached the summit many times, and some have led others to the summit successfully. Nearly half of the people who died on Mount Everest were Sherpas. At the end of the book, a Sherpa wrote to the author, saying that their nation is a cursed clan. Some people take risks again and again for their dreams, but they take risks and climb again and again in order to survive and carry the heavy dreams of others. Things in the world are really incredible.
Two people asked you before, if you were allowed to climb the peak, would you go. Once at the base camp of Mount Everest, qf asked, and you said that if you want to go, you will go; once when jy asked not long ago, you said you would definitely go.
?After reading "Into Thin Air", I felt reluctant to go there. I always felt that I would die there, causing pollution to the earth's water sources, burdening the passing climbers, and bringing a huge burden to the porters. It's better to live well. Furthermore, as mentioned in the book, Mount Everest has been packaged and sold to rich people. The claws of business have taken off the sacred veil of Mount Everest, and it is no longer a holy place in your heart. The summit of Everest means nothing to you, so you're not heading for a place that doesn't have anything to attract you. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
