Tianbaha laughed and said with a relaxed face: "Don't worry, your health is in good condition. As long as nothing unexpected happens, there will be no problems!"

Johnson nodded. I'm not going to challenge Mount Everest. Since I've come here once, I can't go home empty-handed, right?

The target is tentatively set to 6,000 meters. Determine the specific situation at that time. Don’t underestimate the last two thousand meters. In extreme environments, 100 meters are sometimes an insurmountable natural barrier!

I set off immediately and took a small plane to Lukara. I heard that this airport is world-famous, with one plane falling off an average of one plane every year, and it is known as the most dangerous waterway in the world. Since I took a plane, I have entered the extreme challenge.

The airport is small and security checks are ineffective. It is surrounded by climbers from all over the world. Over the past decades, seven or eight hundred warriors who climbed the 8,000 snow peaks have been martyred, but danger and death have never stopped climbers from continuing their pace.

When flying towards Mount Everest, looking at the mountains passing outside the window, I soon saw that the snow-capped mountains with clouds became increasingly dense, indicating that they entered the Himalayas.

About half an hour later, the plane began to descend. Through the ridge that was skimmed outside the window, I vaguely saw the mountain village, which was the legendary Lukarla.

Continue to descend, and suddenly land quickly without warning on a runway opened in the mountains, and finally landed safely.

As soon as I got off the plane, I felt that the oxygen was thin. Tianba introduced that this airport was built by Edmund, the first person to the summit of Mount Everest, raised funds on his own in 1964.

The main purpose is to help climbers enter Mount Everest faster. The altitude is 3,000 meters, and the runway on the roof of the world ranks first among the top ten dangerous airports in the world.

The rare runway slope is 18.5 degrees, and the runway is only 460 meters, which is less than 1/10 of the normal runway. It lands on a thousand-foot cliff and takes off in a deep abyss. There is no DME/VOR, no ILS, and no PAPI lights at the airport.

The pilot relies on the sight of the aircraft that cannot control take-off and landing in the center of the ground. It is located in a deep valley of mountains. The wind along the valley direction makes the aircraft have to fight against continuous crosswinds when taking off and landing. Once you start trying to land, there is no turning back.

"This is Kaba, my uncle."

When he arrived at Sherpa Village, Johnson looked at Kaji Sherpa with a big beard. This old man, who was not astonishing, led the team to the top of Mount Everest eight times.

He personally experienced the Mount Everest disaster in 1996 and was the chief guide of the crazy mountain climbing group led by the famous explorer Scott at that time.

Now he is responsible for the camp, he is humble and gentle, and has a great service awareness. When he sees new climbers, he is always busy serving tea and water.

Start entering the specific process, and each person is 11,000 US dollars from the southern side of Nepal. If it is a team, there will be another 3,000 yuan, and a Sherpa guide who must accompany you will have a 3,000 yuan deposit.

Johnson, Xia Long, Xia Hu, Tianba, plus his younger brother Huka, five people in the entire team. Then there was the equipment. Tianba took out the list and introduced: "1500-3500 is considered a high altitude, 3500-5500 is an ultra-high altitude, and most people climb the snow mountain at this height. More than 5500 meters is an extremely high altitude. Human functions already require strong support from external equipment. This height is impossible to live in a long-term manner."

"So the top mountaineering equipment of Mount Everest is designed for the most extreme environments to help you complete challenges and save your life!"

Johnson looked at the list, including clothing, technical equipment, and auxiliary equipment, a total of 43 types of equipment, some of which need to be prepared 2-3 sets.

Wicking clothes, warm clothing, alpine boots, safety ropes, safety locks, ice axes, crampons, tents, sleeping bags, moisture-proof mats...

The most common one-piece down jackets are full of high-tech and can at least withstand low temperatures of minus 30 degrees Celsius, and each piece is more than 20,000 yuan, which is not expensive.

For a bottle of oxygen, plus the alpine freight, 500 US dollars, each person prepares at least five bottles. If the altitude exceeds 5,200 meters, all climbers can only rely on maritime satellite phones or alpine intercoms for communication.

The charge is US$13.5 per minute, while the BGAN used for online access is charged at US$7.8 per trillion of traffic.

There are so many things coming down, plus the cost of the guide, it is almost 300,000 yuan per person!

Tianba smiled and said, "In 1960, China climbed Mount Everest for the first time. At that time, the government allocated hundreds of thousands of dollars in foreign exchange at one time. The mountaineering team used this funds to buy mountaineering supplies in Switzerland to spend nearly 350,000 yuan. This was only the foreign exchange part, and the cost was almost equivalent to the entire cost of the first National Games in 1959."

"In 1988, China and Japan and Nigeria climbed the mountaineering team, and the north side of the base camp had more than 900 boxes and filled 46 trucks, which cost about 20 million yuan."

It doesn’t matter if SC Johnson, money is a small matter, life is a big matter, and all use the most expensive ones!

Settling in the room, the weather began to get dark, the temperature outside dropped quickly, the wind was strong, dinner, chicken soup and momo, plus a bottle of whiskey.

I rested early and set off at 4 o'clock in the morning. The equipment was placed on the yak. ​​After more than two hours, I finally witnessed the feeling of the first ray of light shining on the snow-capped mountains.

The seventh peak, the Doragiri peaks and the tenth Annapurna peaks, seemed to surround you.

Among the mountains with different thicknesses, the snow-capped mountains are like fairies of different shapes, each with graceful grace...

After embellishing a little morning glow, bring a red glow until the red cheeks are stained. The red peaks are like a red ribbon floating in the air, strong and gentle. In the fierce cold wind, watch the changes around you, quiet and peaceful.

Johnson Johnson raised an enlightenment that in front of nature, all living beings are equal and feel the infinite power given by nature. Take a deep breath of the air, fresh and cold, but free.

Along the way, I saw many older foreigners with extremely slow steps, about two seconds, and Tianba joked that it was called the zombie step.

Although it is not good-looking, it is very useful to maintain a good rhythm and make it easier and more efficient.

Everyone kept paying attention to their condition, but found that the situation was good and there was basically no altitude sickness, so they were relieved.

It stretches to the top of the mountain, and there are such beautiful pictures waiting for you to explore and discover step by step. Inadvertently, you can't help but stop, be stunned, and stop and stare quietly.

There are snow-capped mountains in the distance, and there are vast grasslands in front of you, which look like a paradise.

Johnson regrets that he is just an outsider, and comes quietly, but in the end he can only leave quietly.

"In fact, the hiking journey is not long today, but it can gradually adapt to the plateau environment. After 4,600 meters, the vegetation begins to become low and sparse, mainly sand and gravel roads, and the walking speed should also be slowed down..."

"There is a very difficult part below. Z. The shape of the shaped uphill is because of the high altitude. Compared with the previous uphill, it tests physical strength and perseverance. You can reach the high camp in another hour. You can spend the night there tonight..."

Tianba shouted: "Come on everyone!"

When he climbed the top of a mountain faster, Johnson couldn't help but look back and sighed:

Body in hell,

Eyes are in heaven!
Chapter completed!
