in the lounge.

A group of mountain climbers, talking a lot, whispering, discussing the scene that just happened!

For them who often use the ascender to level up the ice wall, it is really hard to imagine why this person can walk on the ice wall smoothly with only some basic equipment!

Incredible!

It's incredible...

"How did he do that?"

"so amazing!"

"What is the origin of this Lu Yu?"

"I don't know, but it's really a cow!"

"I go……"

In the previous life, the French ice climbing technique was regarded as a relatively advanced modern ice climbing technique.

It can minimize the fatigue of climbers.

Improve climbing efficiency.

The full set of technologies has two distinctly different ways of traveling.

One is the flat step.

One is the forward kick.

Right now, after a period of ascent, the slope of the ice wall exceeds 45 degrees, and the ice layer is gradually hardening, so Lu Yu gave up the flat step of French climbing.

Instead, use the "front kick" to travel on the ice wall!

The front kick, as the name implies, is to kick the ice wall with the toes, and use the front end of the crampons to bite the ice layer.

Compared to the flat step, the forward kick is more difficult to control the center of gravity.

However, because he has mastered the mountaineering skills, Lu Yu can still make the crampons bite the ice surface just right during the climbing process.

You can also keep your feet steady when shifting your weight.

these details,

It doesn't look like much.

But without the help of climbing ropes and ascenders, if there is no strong physical foundation, this way of traveling will not last long at all.

After crawling forward for a while, Lu Yu was half-crawled on the ice wall, gasping for breath:

"This is a set of ice climbing techniques I created by myself, which can adapt to various slopes of ice, saving time and effort."

"There are two ways, a flat step and a forward kick."

"This is a lot of ice climbing, and you will use two basic skills. Which one you use depends on the steepness of the slope, the conditions of the ice surface, your technical ability, and your confidence."

"In addition to the way of travel, it is important to note that when using ice and snow, you must be bold and try to keep your attention on the climb itself. Of course, being bold does not mean being reckless. It is a kind of confidence, a skill, and only through It takes long-term training and increasing training length and difficulty to get it.”

"Ice climbing requires tireless enthusiasm!"

Tireless enthusiasm!

That's right.

Ice climbing requires passion!

Because it's an exhilarating sport that combines ever-changing climbing objects with a chilly environment that challenges your mind and body in all aspects!

Only in this way can climbers conquer one glacier after another and stand at the apex of that desire.

Time passed by minute by minute, and with the steady increase in altitude, the surrounding temperature had approached minus 15 degrees.

The snowstorm is also getting bigger and bigger.

The ice below my feet is getting harder and harder.

It takes a lot of force for crampons and ice axes to engage in freezing points suitable for climbing.

One to two to go, a lot of physical exertion.

At the current speed, it would take at least two hours to climb to 7,000 meters.

The premise is that there can be no accidents in the middle, otherwise the time will be doubled again.

Because the ice layer was too hard, the function of crampons began to be limited. In order to prevent himself from falling from a height of 6,800 meters, Lu Yu had to stop!

Facing the wind and snow, he faced the camera and panted: "The ice here is so hard, it's unimaginable!"

Huffing down, Lu Yu raised his toes, kicked hard against the ice wall, and stabilized his center of gravity: "It takes more force than usual to get the crampons in."

"It's nothing in a short time, but if it's a long time, the crampons' teeth may break at any time. If it suddenly fails during the climbing process, the consequences are really unimaginable!"

"So, I have to think of a way to solve this problem..."

For the earliest alpine climbers, slashing was the only technique available when climbing steep ice and hard snow.

The equipment is simple and the operation is convenient. In the ancient times when there were no crampons, cutting ice steps was the most commonly used primitive technique for human ice climbing.

Waving the ice pick in his hand, Lu Yu kept tapping it on the ice, as if he was looking for something.

"It's not bad here."

After choosing the location, he knelt on the ground and smashed the ice, while saying:

"After the invention of crampons, many climbers hardly use the technique of 'cutting ice steps', but at certain times, cutting ice steps is still a very practical technique."

"Especially when hitting hard ice, or when crampons fail!"

"Now, I'm going to cut a step here to lighten the load on my crampons."

There are roughly two ways to cut ice steps.

The first is ice steps that are parallel to the ground.

Use the flat end of the ice axe to slash horizontally.

Mostly used in snow.

The second is a little more complicated and is in the direction perpendicular to the ice surface.

Use the pickaxe of the ice pick to dig out steps that look like small lattices.

In order to ensure safety, on steep ice, it is best to use the second method, which can maximize the serration of the crampons and fully penetrate.

After making a plan, Lu Yu first used a climbing rope to wrap a black-brown rock with a strong sense of exposure, and put the end of it through a figure-of-eight ring to make it hold his body.

He then attached the ice axe to his wrist with a wrist strap.

Doing this will not only help support the hand that is making the effort, but also avoid losing the ice axe when you miss it.

"At this time, the wristband comes in handy. It can effectively avoid swinging the ice axe out when cutting ice steps. Don't think this is a trivial matter. If you really want to lose the ice axe, you will be left behind forever. on this ice wall."

Finding the rhythm of advancing again, Lu Yu cut out the ice steps on the ice wall and slowly ascended.

After about half an hour, the altitude reached a new high and finally reached 6900 meters.

In the darkness, the peak of the North Col Ice Wall finally appeared in front of us.

That is a huge, 90-degree vertical ice wall!

"Continue up, it's the last section of the North Col Ice Wall."

"The wind and snow are getting bigger and bigger, and the visibility is getting lower and lower. I don't know if you can see it clearly. This section of the road is really steep, almost close to 90 degrees. Even if there is a rope, it will be persuaded to retreat. Most climbers."

Waving his ice pick, Lu Yu chiseled two small depressions in his hand.

Then he grabbed it with his hands, stuck it on the ice, and breathed frantically.

The ice wall is like a mirror, and you can almost see your face.

Raising his head, Lu Yu glanced up again, and after a while, he said: "This is the environmental boundary of Mount Everest. There is a huge difference between 7,000 meters and 7,000 meters. The most intuitive feeling is that the wind will meet. If it gets bigger, the temperature will exceed minus 20 degrees, which is absolutely beyond your imagination..."

Staring intently at the summit, Lu Yu adjusted his mentality and prepared to continue his journey.

But in the next second.

The top of the ice wall seemed to boil suddenly!

Immediately afterwards, countless snow piles, like crazy, spewed out from above and rushed into the sky!
