After watching the movie, I watched the video of Ueli's victory over Iger's North Wall in two hours and forty-seven minutes, and the tears couldn't stop. Today, we make more advanced ice axes, crampons, seat belts and backpacks. We invent power ropes and static ropes, ascenders, protectors, mechanical plugs and the indestructible power horse sling. We wear sophisticated hiking boots. , More protective but more lightweight and comfortable assault pants, wearing waterproof and warm gloves and a helmet that is only a few hundred grams but can withstand deadly falling rocks, we use down and even high-performance artificial cotton to keep warm, and a mountaineering watch of thousands of yuan Abnormal changes in air pressure can be detected, reminding a possible snowstorm to come, not to mention the hourly mountain weather forecast provided by the Swiss... In addition, our mountaineering technology has a very good concept. With great progress, even the most ordinary mountaineering enthusiasts can use the most advanced protection methods...All this has improved the survival probability of climbers, and even made mountaineering a sport that can be "enjoyed": Many urban white-collar workers usually bury themselves in front of computers and wine glasses. During the holidays, they climb a mild snow-capped mountain, and then take pictures, share them with friends, and record them in their name books. Although there are occasional news of mountain difficulties, mountaineering has become more and more beautiful. Even the north wall of Iger has become a runway for mountaineers, and the south wall of Mount Everest may also become in the near future. A "highway", the difficulty of climbing to the top will not be much higher than getting a driver's license.
But in 1937, when these four warriors camped at the feet of Iger, they had nothing, and their equipment has long been treated as fashion and retro today. They knew nothing about the approaching blizzard so that the seemingly logical summit was actually just unnecessary suicide. Why climb? Why not wait until the equipment technology is mature before climbing? The answer is simple. If there were no corpses hanging on the cliffs of our ancestors, we might never see the mountaineering equipment that can be obtained with a click of a mouse, and we would never know where a better climbing solution is. Use telescopes or build all kinds of stupid artificial devices to feel the beauty of Iger. I always hold the highest respect for this almost savage climber of flesh and blood. Regardless of their climbing motives, regardless of whether they are stupid or mad, each of their corpses is a step up to the top of the human race. .
