With the warm weather, the world's highest peak, Mount Everest, ushered in the 'peak season'. However, due to the large number of climbers, the 'dead zone' at an altitude of 8000 meters also has a 'sea of people' congestion. Many netizens lament that this may be the highest altitude 'traffic jam'. Unfortunately, because of the long queue time, many mountaineers died of severe physical exhaustion and lack of oxygen.
When it comes to Everest, many people's first reaction is the amazing beauty. Whether it's the snow capped glacier mountain or the blue ridge line in the sun, this place, known as "the last pure land on earth", has ignited many people's dreams to go far away. However, due to the high altitude and poor environment, Everest is also one of the most difficult mountains to climb in the world, especially in the 'dead zone' with an altitude of 8000 meters, where the victims' graves can be seen everywhere.
Nowadays, with the continuous improvement of material conditions and the advancement of sports equipment, it is unimaginable to climb Everest. Not only some professional explorers and professional climbers have successfully climbed the summit for many times, but also more and more amateurs are eager to try. The number of climbers is increasing in large quantities. No, the 'spectacle' of queuing up for Everest this spring is staggering.
It needs to be noted that climbing Everest is closely followed, in addition to the blind conformity of many donkeys, it is also related to the lax examination of relevant qualifications. As early as 2018, the relevant departments of the State Administration of sport have drawn a red line, requiring that the number of people entering the core area of Everest every year should be strictly controlled at about 300. At the same time, Nepal, located on the south slope of Everest, has introduced similar regulations. But it is the so-called "there are policies on the one hand and Countermeasures on the other". In recent years, outdoor exploration has been on the rise. Under the temptation of huge profits, some irresponsible mountaineering companies, no matter whether their customers are qualified or not, will receive them correctly, so that the number of mountaineers far exceeds the reasonable capacity. In particular, the Golden Peak rush period of Everest is only limited to the middle to the last ten days of May. Once the staff is redundant, there will be a long queue in the short window period, and the risk of climbing will rise.
The infinite scenery is in the dangerous peak, so it is necessary to challenge the limit according to one's ability. As we all know, climbing is a kind of outdoor extreme sports. Climbing Everest is a high-risk extreme sports with high threshold, strong professionalism and high requirements for physical quality. Although the risk of mountaineering is greatly reduced with the help of equipment, it is still very dangerous to climb Everest due to the unpredictable weather, avalanche and other extreme alpine climate, and the situation of people losing or dying is often reported. For example, in April last year, Japanese mountaineer Shi Licheng, who climbed the highest peak of six continents in a single anaerobic way, died in his eighth challenge to Everest. Professional mountaineers are still like this. An ordinary person who has no relevant training can carry on his backpack and go to realize the "dream of the world's highest peak" just because his brain is hot. The consequences can be imagined. Rational evaluation, according to their ability, so that they can enjoy the infinite scenery when ensuring personal safety.
The world is so big, I want to see. Everyone has the yearning of "poetry and distance". Just in the face of the impulse to say "go", we should do our homework, evaluate rationally and be responsible for ourselves.
