The legend of meteorological mountain

Villagers living in Tibetan villages in the plateau of northwest Yunnan,

As usual, grazing in the summer pasture at an altitude of 3800 meters.

Against the background of white snow, a large area of unidentified objects with bright colors,

It caught the attention of the villagers, and when he went to check it out,

But I took a gasp:

This was not discovered by the rescue team seven years ago.

The remains of the victims of the Sino-Japanese joint mountaineering team!

Lying on the glacier with them,

There are notebooks and cameras.

The altimeter shows 4900 meters. ...

Meili Snow Mountain, the burial place of climbers,

So far, no one has successfully reached the top.

Its main peak has also been designated by the government as a "no climbing place".

What is the cause of this major mountaineering accident?

Primitive peaks less than 7 kilometers above sea level,

What kind of "supernatural power" is there?

Today's old movie screening room will reveal the answer for you.

At the junction of Chayu County in Tibet and Deqin County in Yunnan,

There is a huge snow mountain group running through the north and south.

Between the Nujiang and Lancang rivers in the middle section of Hengduan Mountains,

It is the hero of today's story-Meili Snow Mountain.

Because there are 13 peaks with an average elevation of more than 6 kilometers,

Therefore, the snow-capped mountains are also known as the "Thirteen Peaks of Prince".

The main peak, Kawagebo, is 6740 meters above sea level, which is the first peak in Yunnan Province.

It is said that during the dry cloth period,

There used to be a demon god with nine heads and eighteen arms, who made trouble.

Later, influenced by Master Lotus Peanut, he converted to Buddhism.

Become a valiant soldier under King Gelsall, the son of a thousand buddhas.

Therefore, Kawagebo was chosen as the first of the eight sacred mountains of Tibetan Buddhism.

For thousands of years, although mankind has conquered Mount Everest, the "top of the world"

Other towering peaks at an altitude of 8000 meters are also covered with victory flags.

Kawagbo still maintains her purity and holiness,

Not contaminated with any secular flavor.

But all the calmness was broken at 1987:

At that time, it was in the craze of Japanese mountaineering.

The Japanese government soon applied to the National Sports Commission of China,

I hope I can "conquer" Kawagebo with China climbers.

Climb a mountain less than 7 thousand meters above sea level in the history of modern mountaineering for a hundred years.

Can only be said to be "pediatrics"

This virgin peak, which no one has tried to climb for decades or even centuries,

So I was targeted by the Japanese mountaineering team. Shortly after the application was issued,

China and Japan signed a ten-year contract to climb Kawagebo.

1990, the famous mountaineering team of Kyoto University, Japan,

Came to Yunnan, China. The strength of this team is not strong;

One-third of the team members have climbed the 8000-meter peak;

Many consortia in Japan provided them with funds and sponsorship;

Among the mountaineering equipment it carried, there was the most advanced satellite cloud image receiver at that time;

Led by two captains, one is a famous Japanese meteorologist Osamu Inoue Lang.

One is Song Zhiyi, an experienced mountaineer from China, who made history countless times.

After everything was ready, the Sino-Japanese joint mountaineering team came to the foot of 1990 Meili Snow Mountain.

The snow-capped mountains in front of us are majestic, magnificent, pure and sacred.

A group of people who are rubbing their hands will never think that they will die here in a few months.

The local Tibetan villagers warmly welcomed the climbers.

Invite them to taste homemade highland barley wine and butter tea,

And cut off the pork belly that is not easy to show by the fireplace.

However, after the climber explained his purpose, the originally kind villagers,

Suddenly, I yelled at them like a different person.

It turns out that in Tibetan mythology, Meili Snow Mountain is the first of the eight sacred mountains.

In areas below 5000 meters to 2700 meters above sea level,

It is a rare low-latitude and high-altitude monsoon marine glacier in the world.

The forests and grasslands here raise herders' cattle and sheep.

The melting snow on the mountain has also turned into a clear stream, nourishing people's thirsty throats.

Climbing to the top is not only disrespectful to the mountaineering team,

It will also let the gods punish the villagers and destroy the original happy and peaceful life.

In order to stop them, after the mountaineering team went up the mountain,

Nearly20,000 villagers from nearby villages spontaneously gathered at the foot of the mountain.

Repent your sins constantly, pray for the appearance of mountain gods and punish these offenders.

But climbers wear amulets and monks' blessings,

Still holding the belief that there are mountains to climb, I set off.

The official departure time of the mountaineering team was chosen in the local dry season, and the weather was stable.

According to the plan, they first set up a base camp at an altitude of 3500 meters.

Then at 4500m, 5300m and 5900m,

Camps 1, 2 and 4 were established respectively, but in the site selection of camp 3,

China and Japan have taken completely different views:

In order to ensure the safety of climbers, Song Zhiyi believes that,

Camp 3 should stay away from the ridge to avoid sudden avalanches;

However, because it is still in the low temperature period,

In order to facilitate the summit, the camp was set on the ridge.

The two sides are deadlocked, and Japan is the gold owner of this mountaineering operation.

The two sides had to meet each other halfway and camp in the middle of the site selection.

1990 65438+around 0: 30 am on February 28th,

Five climbers came to the position of 6200 meters on the main peak of Kawagebo.

This is the closest climb to the top in history.

But in the final sprint of 300 meters, a sudden snowstorm,

The climbers had to cancel the operation, which interrupted their original plan.

Set up a simple tent in the same place to keep out the cold,

At eleven o'clock in the evening, the group returned to Camp Three.

The first conquest of Kawagebo ended in failure.

199 1 New Year's Day, seventeen eager climbers,

Concentrate on camp three and prepare to launch a second attack on Kawagbo.

The storm that lasted for several days not only didn't stop, but intensified.

The snow around the camp will soon be one person high.

Three days later, they gradually lost contact with the base camp.

The snowstorm kept pounding the ground,

The base camp, which has not received news for several days, is in a mess.

Affected by extreme weather,

Jin Junxi and Zhang Jun, who were trapped in the base camp, recovered their lives.

They dialed the rescue phone, and under the deployment of the Kunming command center,

Tibet mountaineering rescue team rushed to Deqin, Yunnan.

However, the oxygen in Kawagebo Mountain is thin, the terrain conditions are unknown and the climate conditions are harsh.

Rescuers can't use helicopters for search and rescue.

Then, according to the picture from the reconnaissance plane,

There are signs of large-scale landslides near camp 3.

Soon, the snowstorm came to this holy land again.

65438+1October 2 1 After two weeks of search and rescue,

In order to avoid more casualties, the rescue team can only announce,

The search and rescue operation failed, and the mountaineering team and other personnel quickly evacuated!

Perhaps fortunately, shortly after they left,

Near the base camp at an altitude of 3500 meters, another strong avalanche happened.

At this point, 17 China and Japanese climbers who are about to reach the summit,

All buried in the snow.

Five years later, the Kyoto University mountaineering team, still reluctant,

I came to Yunnan again and wanted to win the starting right of Kawagebo.

After the last serious mountain disaster, they made full preparations this time.

But on the eve of the summit, the Japanese and China Meteorological Observatory issued a warning:

Cumulonimbus clouds in the South Pacific are moving rapidly towards Kawagebo.

According to the satellite cloud picture, there will be a big blizzard here in the next few days!

The team members can only give up the climbing plan again and retreat to the base camp.

But as soon as they reached the foot of the mountain, the accident appeared again:

A sudden warm current blew the cumulonimbus clouds to the border between India and Pakistan.

The next few days will be good weather for mountain climbing. ...

1997, after several twists and turns, lost a lot of money and players got nothing.

The mountaineering team of Kyoto University in Japan said that it would give up climbing Meili Snow Mountain forever.

1998, the remains of the victims were found by local herders.

This once again shocked the local Tibetan people:

Legend has it that people who offend the mountain gods will be taken in by the mountain gods.

After seven years of hard labor, they will be released into the world.

From 199 1 to 1998, seven years have passed!

But from a scientific point of view, all this may just be accidental:

The first is the choice of camp 3, and the Japanese side is too confident.

Didn't listen to the reminder that Camp China should stay away from the ridge,

Is the main cause of tragedy;

Secondly, the climbers were carried away by the joy of reaching the top.

Almost all the players are concentrated in Camp Three, ready to complete the feat of reaching the summit.

This undoubtedly made a tactical mistake, which made the casualties even heavier;

Finally, Meili Snow Mountain has several avalanches every year.

It happened once before the team climbed the mountain.

But they didn't take this warning to heart,

So that the snow outside the tent has reached 1.2 meters.

There is no intention of returning. ...

All these accelerated the death of climbers.

Four years later, in order to ensure the safety of citizens, the Deqin county government legislated.

Meili Snow Mountain is listed as a forbidden mountain.

This mysterious Tibetan mountain,

It can also be kept holy, standing at the junction of Yunnan and Tibet, waiting for people in the past.
