The film tells the story of two expeditions led by Rob Hall and Scott Fisher to climb Mount Everest. In this real event, 8 climbers were unfortunately killed. While feeling the courage of climbers to break through the limits and challenge themselves, I couldn't help but want to reflect on why such a tragedy happened.
1. The weather is bad and snowstorms have been encountered many times. The sport itself is extremely dangerous.
2. In such a critical environment, the market has not been well constrained, and more and more mountaineering teams have appeared, leading to long waiting times for key routes, leading to extreme shortages of oxygen and other materials, and people’s physical strength and righteousness. The endurance of severe cold and even the psychological endurance are on the verge of the limit, bringing immeasurable danger.
3. When Doug is too slow and begging to reach the top, Rob should insist on his professionalism and refuse.
4. Climbers are too pursuing the glory of summiting, and lack of grasp of their own abilities and reality. Due to competition in the industry and the accompanying reporters, the team guide also wants to create more records of reaching the top.
Reminiscent of our lives, we often hear that people go into danger due to adventure and need a large number of people to rescue them. It even brought great disasters to rescuers. What should we do?
First of all, to explore, you must make sufficient reserves, such as theoretical reserves, information collection, physical training, step by step, and find a professional consultant team to guide you to reduce risks. This film is a positive example in this respect. Peak climbers are all professional mountaineering enthusiasts. For example, Kang Zi, who has climbed 6 of the 7 peaks before; and Baker, who exercises all year round, has also climbed many mountains. In addition to sufficient professionalism, they also selected a sufficiently professional team; Rob and Scott are both the most famous mountaineers in the world. Even so, the safety of life cannot be fully guaranteed.
Secondly, don't try to do it according to your ability. Near the highest point in the film, the human limit has been reached. Some climbers have felt that they have no ability to move on, so they chose to go down the mountain. This is not an easy choice. There is only a little distance left from the peak, and only a little bit can create a record, and there may not be a chance to climb Mount Everest in the future. But these people rationally assessed the possible risks, did not act rashly, and were spared as a result.
Third, there must be team spirit. In a desperate situation, it is difficult to achieve without teamwork. For example, the three teams in the film chose to reach the summit on the same day. In order to avoid scramble for ropes, we conducted friendly consultations. When it is temporarily found that the rope is not fastened, they also support each other, and then everyone will continue to move forward in order after it is fastened. Different people have different roles in the team. Some are support, some are communication, and some are responsible for logistics supplies. Some people will help if they can't walk. No one can climb to the top of a mountain alone.
Finally, pay tribute to the brave, and may the dead rest in peace.
