Once there was a variety show on CCTV, and a famous female climber in China was invited as a guest to climb the mountain with the host. There are other guests in the team, but she is the only woman, including the host. In fact, the altitude of the mountain chosen is not as high as the peak usually chosen by female guests. Other male guests also often exercise. I thought it was not difficult, but in the process of climbing the mountain, the state of female guests and male guests was completely different.
The female guests breathed smoothly, didn't gasp, and kept talking during the climbing process. This can't help but make people feel that female guests are beyond the imagination of the public, and also reveal the strength of professional climbers. The host asked when climbing the mountain, why did you choose to climb Mount Everest? What were you thinking at the summit?
She said that every mountaineer will want to conquer the most difficult one, that is, a belief in mountaineering. As for the peak, my heart is not only full of lofty aspirations, but also more important things. The host is very curious. What is this? She smiled, and I was wondering how to get down the mountain safely. This is really an unexpected and reasonable statement.
Because everyone who climbs Mount Everest can't guarantee that there will be no problems on his way, ensuring safety is still the top priority of climbing. But many times, the choice of life is in an instant. A sense of security or a desire to conquer? Faced with this problem, people may not choose the former, which is a bit like "knowing that there are tigers in the mountains, preferring to travel in the mountains."
Here I have to mention the "sleeping beauty" on Mount Everest. "Sleeping Beauty" refers to Frances, a female mountaineer from America. Her love for mountain climbing began at the age of six, and her father took her to Colorado Peak. There is such a record at an early age. Frances has a strong desire to climb mountains and excellent physical fitness. As a persistent mountaineer with so many successful experiences, how can Francis give up challenging Mount Everest?
So, in May 1998, when Frances was 40 years old, she came to Mount Everest, intending to fulfill the long-cherished wish of many climbers in her life with great pride. Francis is very confident. She felt fully prepared and climbed with her husband. They can help each other, no problem. So she made an extremely bold decision-to climb to the top without auxiliary oxygen!
Mount Everest is more than 8000 meters above sea level. Many climbers stopped climbing when they reached 5000 meters because of lack of oxygen. However, she had to take any auxiliary oxygen, which shows how confident Francis is about herself! Surprisingly, Francis really succeeded. On May 22nd, she successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest, becoming the first person to reach the summit without oxygen! She was so proud that she went down the hill. However, fate is so strange. When she descended to about 8600 meters, Francis was temporarily unable to move because of lack of oxygen.
After the two discussed, her husband Sergei went down the mountain for help, while she rested in place. I didn't know her husband was nowhere to be found. Francis didn't wait for help. She became one of the iconic figures of Mount Everest. It was not until nine years later, in 2007, that she was carried down Mount Everest by a British climber and finally buried underground. Some people choose to be safe and conservative, so that they can live a lifetime. Some people choose to conquer with passion, and passion may come to an abrupt end at the most gorgeous moment. How to treat this difficult choice in life?
