The remains of more than 300 victims on Mount Everest have become signposts. Why didn't anyone bury them?
As early as 1906, in order to safeguard national sovereignty, Wang Fuzhou led his teammates to the top of Mount Everest for more than 20 hours without oxygen and food, so that the five-star red flag could fly on the top of Mount Everest forever. It shows the sovereignty of China and the ownership of Mount Everest. This is the first time for China people to climb Mount Qomolangma, and it is also the first time for mankind to climb from the north slope of Mount Qomolangma.
This climbing route, initiated by China people, has since become one of the classic routes to climb Mount Everest, inspiring generations of China people to keep moving forward. But for China people, the conquest of Mount Everest is a "war" without smoke, not to mention the lack of materials and backward technology in China in 1960s and 1970s. Climbing Mount Everest is really a severe test. Even now, countless "warriors" are still needed to survey the land of China with their feet, such as the famous National Survey Team 1.
In the following decades, athletes from all over the world also challenged this peak. The most famous is Edmund Hillary, a New Zealand mountaineer, who successfully climbed to the top of Mount Everest on 1953. This has brought confidence and courage to many people who love mountain climbing, and also prompted countless mountain climbers to embark on the journey of conquering Mount Everest. However, there are only a handful of people who can successfully climb Mount Everest. Many explorers failed on the mountain, and even a large number of people died while climbing Mount Everest.
Most of the victims have become formidable "signposts". Since the average temperature of Mount Everest last year was-19.6, generally speaking, it is easy to form snowfall below 0 degrees, which can keep the bodies of the victims intact and will not rot, so it has remained intact for hundreds of years. Among the remains of more than 300 climbers, several are very famous.
One of the most regrettable is a climber who died in the "eyes" of everyone-David Sharp. He is a mountaineer from England. Before 2006, he had climbed Mount Everest twice and the "dead zone" of the Himalayas twice, but when he reached a height of about 8400 meters, he was forced to return because of bad weather and cold and lack of oxygen. On one occasion, Sharp was severely frostbitten and lost two toes. Within one year after the failure of climbing Mount Everest for the second time, Sharp devoted himself to completing his master's degree in education. After finishing his studies, he originally planned to start his education career and start a new life in September this year, but Sharp still couldn't let go of his obsession, so he decided to challenge Mount Everest for the third time. Before climbing the mountain for the third time, he didn't tell anyone when to start climbing and when to return. It is not arrogance, but his confidence in his success in climbing Mount Everest for the third time-he is well-equipped, healthy, in good condition and determined. But this time I killed him here.
Before climbing the mountain, he lived in Sam Bar in Kathmandu, where his old friend Jamie mcguinness lived. They discussed the plan to attack Mount Everest together, during which mcguinness actively invited Sharp to join his expedition. After all, the danger of Mount Everest is unpredictable, but Sharp refused-he wanted to try it alone. This time, he decided to rush to the top of the mountain from the northeast slope alone. Generally speaking, people usually stay in the base camp for about two weeks to adapt to the thin air environment.
However, in this harsh environment, the oxygen content is only half of the sea level, and Sharp only got used to it for five days and hurried to the next camp. In the following time, Sharp used it to adapt to the mountain environment, set up tents, equip with oxygen, prepare food and mountain supplies and other final preparations. At the beginning of the official challenge, Sharp only carried two 4-liter oxygen cylinders, which is usually the minimum amount of oxygen needed on the day of the summit. At the same time, unlike most climbers, he didn't carry a two-way radio receiver or satellite phone. This brought him great challenges, which made him unable to successfully ask for help in the face of danger.
After the preparations were completed, Sharp began to challenge Mount Everest. He started climbing from the north side and camped at an altitude of 7855 meters. When he woke up in Francis' morning, it was snowing and windy in the camp. He decided to postpone his plan to reach the top. This was his first setback, but he decided to continue climbing the peak. In the second week, Sharp began to challenge Mount Everest again. Before the challenge, he also let Horwatson successfully climb the summit for the second time and return safely.
Shortly after climbing Mount Everest on the morning of the 4th, Sharp arrived at an altitude of 8,352 meters and felt very tired. After all, he said that oxygen bottles would only be used in an emergency, that is to say, he didn't take oxygen before that. It was still snowing, so he sat on the side of the road and watched the climbers pass by. Klaus meets Sharp again near the third step of Mount Everest, where the vertical distance from the summit is only 100 meters. "Be careful!" The only thing Klaus said to Sharp. This is also the last time Sharp spoke to Klaus.
No one has seen Sharp since. Many people speculated that something might have happened. It is possible that the north slope was seriously deprived of oxygen when it went downhill, so it was stranded in a limestone cave 200 meters from the summit. Later, Woodward, another mountain guide, told us that at an altitude of 84 12 meters, they would see "green boots"-an Indian climber who froze to death there 10 years ago. However, Woodward was startled by what he saw. He told a companion that there was a "second pair of green boots" in this hole, and this person was very sharp.
Woodward shone his headlights into the hole and found a man sitting on the right side of the dead Indian-his right arm was resting on his knees, and he was not wearing an oxygen mask. Someone in the team shouted at the man, "Get up and keep walking." But he didn't answer. After that, many people also saw Sharp. According to Shaya, one of the athletes, when they saw Sharp, he was unconscious, shaking violently, his teeth clenched and his nose, cheeks and lips turned black. Not only that, he didn't wear a hat or goggles, but only a pair of thin light blue wool gloves.
For nearly an hour, Shaya sat on a stone not far from Sharp and shouted for help on the radio. But Shaya's oxygen can only support him for 90 minutes. If he stays here, his life may also be threatened, while all the other employed people are helping the climbers down the mountain, and there are not enough people to lift a comatose person from that height. The climbers in the camp cried around the radio. All Sharp eventually stayed in Everest forever.
In front of "Sharp is mistaken for green boots", who are the real green boots? This man, the "Tarjo" we are going to talk about next, was found in a cave about 8500 meters above sea level on the climbing road on the north side of Mount Everest. The body was wearing a pair of bright green boots and lying there quietly, as if asleep. Only half-covered snow and weathered clothes tell passers-by that this person can't wake up. Because of his conspicuous boots, they are affectionately called "green boots". And his experience of climbing the peak is also thrilling.
Tarjo, an officer from India, 1996 was born at the foot of the Himalayas. He was only 28 when he challenged to climb Mount Everest. He loved sports since he was a child, especially adventurous activities such as mountain climbing and rock climbing. So he was strong and became a border policeman when he grew up. In a mountaineering activity organized by Indian border police on 1996, Tarjo, who lived at the foot of Mount Everest since childhood, was persistent in conquering Mount Everest and had rich mountaineering experience, so he volunteered to join the mountaineering team and wanted to fulfill his long-cherished wish. But the danger of Mount Everest is self-evident, and it is not an easy task to conquer it. After all, it is a Jedi at an altitude of more than 8000 meters. It is covered with snow all year round, with thin air, rugged roads and changeable weather. The road to the summit can be said to be full of dangers. This is a road to death, and if you are not careful, you will die halfway. Even so, Tarjo did not give up taking part in this mountaineering activity, but the 28-year-old youth stayed in Everest forever.
It was May, and they prepared rich materials and set off with confidence. When they climbed to an altitude of 8500 meters. The accident happened suddenly and they were caught in a very rare snowstorm. They were once swallowed up by strong winds and snowstorms. The team could not maintain and move on, so they had to retreat. But Tarjo is very unwilling, and he is about to reach the top. It's a pity to give up at this time. Moreover, the weather in Everest is changeable, and there are not many days suitable for climbing. I don't know how long it will take to miss this time. So Tarjo chose to continue to venture forward, along with two other teammates. However, not everyone is lucky. These three people finally settled here. Because their teammates avoided the snowstorm in time, they successfully climbed Mount Everest and completed the trip.
But it is not known whether Tarjo and the three of them have climbed Mount Everest. Tarjo's body was only found when his teammates went down the mountain, and the whereabouts of the other two were unknown. Several of his teammates didn't even come forward to check the identity of the body, and they already judged that he was Paljor, just because the green boots on his feet were too obvious. At that time, Tarjo curled up in a small hole, trying to escape the disaster in the small hole. Perhaps compared with the power of nature, human power is too weak, and finally Tarjo died here. As for the bodies of the other two teammates, they were also found one after another. Most people want to know whether they died because they were exhausted in the heavy snow. No matter what the facts are, three lives were lost in this trip. 28-year-old fresh life is frozen.
According to records, "green boots" have become a famous landmark of Mount Everest. Any climber who climbs Mount Everest along the northeast ridge will pass by here. When people find him, his posture looks like a nap. He lay in the shadow of the protruding rock, wrapped his face with red wool, blocking his sight, and hugged his body tightly with his arms to resist the biting cold wind. His legs stretch out to the road, and almost everyone who wants to climb from the north of Mount Everest will pass by him, thus being attracted by the striking color of his boots. As long as they see "green boots", it means that they are very close to the top of Mount Everest. After all, it is already 8500 meters above sea level. As long as you go up more than 300 meters, you can reach the top of Mount Everest. Because of this, the existence of green boots is inevitable. It is warning every climber to pay attention to safety and never take it lightly. First of all, he must cherish his life. Adventure is precious, life is more expensive!
It has been 26 years since Tarjo was killed, and now there has been a qualitative improvement in both technology and other aspects. Then why did you leave Tarjo's body in its original position and not let his body return to China to bring spiritual comfort to your family? Experts explained that his terrain was too steep. Generally, mountaineering teams don't go this way at all. Over time, the road where Green Boots are located has accumulated a lot of snow. If a rescue team is sent to clean up the body, an avalanche will happen carelessly, so no one has collected the body for him for 20 years. Moreover, Tarjo's body has been soaked in ice and snow for 20 years and weighs at least 200 kilograms. If you really want to transport it down the mountain, the cost is immeasurable, and of course the risk factor is also great. Paljor's brother once said: "In 20 1 1 year, I was shocked and depressed when I found someone calling him' green boots' on the Internet." However, the Tarjo family is a poor mountain family and has no conditions to transport the body back for burial. Even if the state contributes, they can spend a lot of money to bring him back, but in fact, this is not something that money can solve.
It seems that everything about love since ancient times is both beautiful and tragic, just like Sleeping Beauty-Francis, which I will talk about next. Her experience is also sighing. Influenced by family culture since childhood, Francis has always liked adventure. As an adult, she discovered the pleasure of climbing mountains and successfully climbed many famous American peaks. However, she has a bigger goal in mind-Mount Everest. Ever since she fell in love with mountaineering, she dreamed of conquering Mount Everest one day.
1998, 40-year-old Francis and her husband Sergey are preparing to climb Mount Everest. Even though her husband thought it was too dangerous, he decided to challenge with her in order to satisfy her wishes. At that time, they did a feat: they embarked on a journey to conquer Mount Everest without carrying any oxygen equipment. This has added great difficulties to their travel. Usually at higher altitudes, we feel uncomfortable because of lack of oxygen, let alone on Mount Everest at such a high altitude. Without any oxygen equipment, it's like pulling a tooth out of a tiger's mouth.
Thanks to their superb climbing skills and good luck, they finally made it to the top. As a result, Francis became the first female athlete in the world to successfully climb the summit without oxygen tanks. But that doesn't mean their challenge is over. As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easier than going down. After successfully reaching the summit, she couldn't wait to share her happiness and experience. However, on the way back, Francis developed severe symptoms of hypoxia, and it was at this time that she found herself and her husband lost! Moreover, Francis was frostbitten in the process of climbing the mountain, which undoubtedly made her downhill worse. So, on the way down the mountain, she gradually felt suffocated and tired, and her blood seemed unable to flow. Under the influence of the harsh environment of Mount Everest, the hope of survival is very slim. Then her husband found her, but neither of them brought oxygen bottles. As a last resort, Francis's husband had to settle her down first and then go down the mountain for help.
Francis was left alone on the top of the mountain. Due to extreme lack of oxygen, Francis finally fell down. Saving oneself is obviously impossible. At this time, other climbers passed by. They just started climbing and left enough oxygen. After discovering Francis, they decided to give up climbing and rescue her instead. When the climber saw Francis, her body was severely frostbitten and her body looked like a ceramic man. Francis was dying at this time.
Despair is yet to come. Obviously, I waited for someone else and saw the dawn of life, but because the oxygen bottle carried by this climber didn't match Francis's mask, I couldn't deliver oxygen to her, and my hopes were dashed. One of the rescuers was named Ian. At that time, if he gave her the mask, their lives would be in danger. More importantly, even if the mask is given to Francis, she has almost no chance of survival. In this case, they can't carry it down the mountain. In order to get a chance, Ian gave up the summit and chose to go down for help, hoping to rescue the female mountaineer who made history in time. Unfortunately, Francis didn't hold on and stayed there forever.
Where did her husband go? A few days after Francis was killed, no one saw him. Everyone thought he was probably killed, but his body was never found. Until 1999, an athlete with an oxygen bottle found his body under Francis's road. It is not difficult to imagine that Sergei climbed the mountain alone to save his wife after getting the oxygen bottle, but suddenly he was in danger on the way. When both husband and wife passed away, the enviable love broke up in discord.
However, in the twenty-five years after Frances's death, thousands of climbers passed by, but no one not only didn't bury it, but even "ignored it". Why? Did the heroine who created the historical record disappear in the long river of history? In fact, Ian still felt guilty about Francis after going down the mountain. Although Francis's death was not directly related to him, he did nothing wrong. But Ian organized a team to look for Francis' body. Finally, in 2007, Ian and his companions found Francis' body.
However, despite their best efforts, they failed to bring Francis's body down the mountain. Ian wrapped the American flag around him and put Francis' son's teddy bear and a letter beside him. Ian did his best! As for why the latecomers didn't bury it or take the body down the mountain, I believe Ian's practice is also a lesson from the past. It is unnecessary to do more, it is just a waste of time and energy. Now, Francis's body has become a symbol of Mount Everest. She lay there quietly, warning the danger ahead, warning climbers to cherish their lives, and at the same time giving courage and courage to adventurers coming and going, so that they are not alone on the way to climb the mountain.
These three people have now become the most famous "road signs" on Mount Everest. From these three famous "road signs", we can also see the precipitousness and precipitousness of Mount Everest. The first is his temperature: the lowest temperature can reach MINUS 73 degrees, and it is covered with snow all year round. The most unacceptable thing is that the oxygen content in the air here is very high, accounting for only two-thirds of the oxygen content at sea level; Then there is the altitude sickness of Mount Everest, which is not something that ordinary people can adapt to. Many people will have headaches, unconsciousness, general weakness and insufficient oxygen supply to their brains. It is not so easy to slow down this situation, not to mention that on Mount Everest at such a high altitude, a little carelessness is the end of life. It's only personal, and it's even harder to bring another body.
There is also the question of funds. No one, no country will spend hundreds of millions to bring back a corpse, not to mention the loss may be outweighed by the death of several outstanding athletes. That's why no one came to Mount Everest to collect the body, but I think, besides that, maybe we didn't collect the body and left it on Mount Everest to warn future generations to pay attention to safety.
