Joe and Simon are ready to challenge a snowy mountain in Peru, a route that no one has ever climbed to the top of. The two are excited to face the unknown challenge and live for it.
The first day was relatively smooth, but I was deeply attracted by this way of climbing. With a load of dozens of pounds on my back, the two of them were in tandem, measuring the majesty of the snow-capped mountains with their bodies. The wind is blowing on my body, and the snow is slapping my face. I can imagine how harsh the environment is. I may be especially nostalgic for hot baths, heating and hotbeds at this time, but they only have one choice, upward force, because there is no There is a way back. Climbing to the top on the third day, standing on the top of the snow-capped mountains, looking around the mountains, there will not be a kind of pleasure of being the king of the world, it may be more awe, gratitude, persistence, and courage. Going down the mountain is far more difficult than going up the mountain. Unknown ice cracks and unknown routes will bring many dangers and challenges. Mistakes and injuries at any point are fatal, because there is no one to rely on, it's all on your own. The accident still occurred. Joe's knee was seriously dislocated, and his bones came out. When Joe looked up at Simon from the bottom, he could feel that both of them showed a hint of despair. The two made a decision. Simon used a rope to let Joe drop 300 feet first, and he was down, but accidents followed one after another. Joe encountered a cliff and was suspended in the air. He couldn't move, and he couldn't communicate with Simon. He had to wait for fate. s arrangement. Because the rope was always taut, Simon couldn't move, thinking that Joe must have encountered a problem. After waiting in the cold wind for an hour and a half, he cut the rope, which was a correct choice at the time. So much so that later, when Simon was reprimanded by others, the reason why Joe defended it, because in that case, the two actually had such a tacit understanding.
Joe fell into the ice crevice, darkness, cold, pain, loneliness surrounded Joe, he shouted, vented, and the despair in his heart spread everywhere, trying to drag a leg that was so badly injured, alone, unable to get on, and again Knowing nothing about what lies beneath the icy crevices, the endless darkness seems to discourage hope. Later, Joe descended to the bottom of the ice crevice. There was an exit to escape, but it was easier said than done with a broken leg, but he still came out. Back in the soft snow, with the sun hitting my face, everything seemed to stand still. But it's easier said than done to get out of the snow-capped mountains, there is no rescue, and I don't know the direction. Set yourself a small goal, a time limit of 20 minutes, so that you can reach the predetermined goal, just such a small goal, let it come out slowly. On the seventh day, dehydration, exhaustion, and pain made him dare not have any hope of being rescued, but only hoped that he would not die so alone. I thought that if you really die in this big mountain, no one knows where you are, how you died here, you will sleep in this snowy mountain, like a mummified corpse, abandoned by the world, forgotten by people, you can imagine, How sad. He begins to think wildly, but his instinct and desire to survive eventually save him. How great this is, what kind of beliefs it needs to support, and how to climb out of the snow-capped mountain little by little, it is really unimaginable.
After watching the video, I tried to use only my left leg, but it was difficult to move forward, I know how painful it is to have a broken leg.
Foreigners always want to challenge those unknown fields, crazy extreme sports, many people don't understand, isn't this a joke of life? But how do we mediocrity know that there is only one way to go up, there is no way to retreat. We have to endure the extreme cold, step by step, with courage, patience, perseverance, technology, and belief, what kind of mood it is when we reach the top of the snow-capped mountain, the process of climbing Without distracting thoughts, the grandeur and majesty of nature cannot be felt or appreciated by us.
Hats off to Joe and Simon, to these people who love challenges, stay healthy, keep exercising, learn more and absorb more, and I will also stand on the top of the snowy mountain.
