preface
Who is she?
National athlete, female hero of dengfeng, candidate of Beijing Olympic Games (Holy Flame Girl), first person of women's summit height in Guangxi, first person of Han national summit height, first female of Han national climbing height, first mountaineering beauty in China, one employee of key customer department of China Unicom Guangxi Branch.... These labels are all her, Lori
But she herself always said calmly: "I'm just an amateur mountaineer." ”
I just want to see what kind of heights I can reach
"If you say that when you were obsessed with outdoor activities, it was only out of love for nature, the picture is to use leisure to alleviate the pressure of work." Now, the fascination with mountaineering relies on a belief that attempts to challenge oneself to surpass oneself, all of which is no accident. ”
Climb Mount Everest, what can you see?
You will see everything because what you face is death.

I never believed that life could be opened, that there were shortcuts to success in this world
"I never stopped chasing my dreams, even though she seemed difficult"
< 1> the north pass of Mount Everest, with an altitude of 7028 meters
On May 7, 2004, as he pursued his dream, the footprints of Guangxi people were deeply imprinted on this everest snow for the first time
< 2> the world's sixth highest peak, Zhuo Aoyou Peak, with an altitude of 8201 meters.
On September 25, 2004, along with her footsteps to the summit, Han Chinese women smiled for the first time at the top of Zhuo Feng.
【Zhuo Aoyou Peak, located on the border of China and Nepal in Dingri County, Tibet, China, the sixth highest peak in the world, the mountain is magnificent, standing majestically in the central Himalayas, 30 kilometers east of Mount Everest, a total of 5 main ridges, and perennial snow, surrounded by snow peaks, layers of peaks are very spectacular Picture source@aibbker]
Such a handsome mountain, often full of dangers, coupled with the human instinct for the fear of extreme mountains, he is often prohibitive, climbing such a mountain, in addition to encountering all kinds of difficulties that ordinary people can not imagine at any time with life dangers.
"Before leaving again, I learned that in Zhuo'aoyou Peak, many people died of alpine diseases, in 1999, a Swedish climber withdrew from the summit and died in his sleep, in 2001, a Korean mountaineering team leader also died of alpine disease, under normal circumstances, 7,000 meters is already the physiological limit, and 8,000 meters is regarded as a forbidden area for all life, not for climbing, ordinary people even if they use planes to transport them, they will also die of alpine diseases."
The crisis is far more than alpine disease, alpine winds, also known as another death killer, wind speed of 12 levels, 20 m / s is 12 gales, and the average annual wind speed of Zhuo Aoyou Peak is 60 m / s, a Korean climber has been blown off the ridge alive and fell to death, -30 ° C below the cold, glaciers, avalanches, alpine radiation, slides", all of which are fatal dangers. And in this environment, once in distress, it is almost impossible to rescue. Of course, there is fear and fear, and there have been thoughts of retreating, but it is impossible to really give up.
If you never go for it and blindly choose comfort, you are different from salted fish
God always seems to like to pour you a basin of cold water when you are full of energy.
On September 1, Luo Lili and her teammates gathered in Lhasa, there were two teammates, one from Shenzhen, one from Hangzhou, strong and strong, mountaineering experience is also very rich, compared to Luo Lili said that going to climb the mountain is like laughing, no one dares to believe that such a delicate little girl will also go to Zhuo Peak.
After a week of altitude adjustment near Lhasa, Luo Lili and her teammates marched to Zhuo Feng. However, just one day before entering the mountain, Luo Lili suddenly launched a high fever above 39 ° C. The climbing team has strict rules that people with fever must not enter the mountain, because entering the mountain is certain to die - the resulting cerebral edema and lung edema can be fatal within a few hours. At that time, I cried urgently, "I have been preparing for so long, but I have to give up my previous achievements, and I feel very sad." Unwilling to give up on this, Luo Lili touched the principal of the Tibetan Mountaineering School with tears and sincerity, who made an exception and agreed to give Luo Lili a day' time, and if the fever could subside within a day, she was allowed to enter the mountain, otherwise she could only go back to the house. As a result, after a day of beating, Luo Lili's fever miraculously receded
In this way, Luo Lili continued her mountaineering trip with a weak illness. On September 12, they arrived at the base camp at the foot of Zhuo Feng. Then climb to the forward camp at an altitude of 5700 meters, C1 camp at 6500 meters, C2 camp at 7000 meters, C3 camp at 7700 meters, and finally try to reach the top.
On the way up the mountain, two scenes are the most memorable.
"One was a climber who was carried down the mountain because of his frozen hands, which was shocking to see. But I was afraid to be afraid, but I never wanted to back down, I just told myself in my heart, I must be careful, go up the mountain safely, go down the mountain safely. ”。
Another scene is of an amputee with his legs below the knee, using special equipment, climbing the mountain with difficulty and persistence. It was a Swiss man who I had seen when I climbed the North Pass of Everest in May, and he was still in good shape. It was also that climb, the cold broke his legs, and he had to climb the mountain without his legs, which touched me a lot. Luo Lili told her teammates that if he could climb Zhuo Feng and those of us who were able to climb zhuo feng could not, how faceless it would be. The teammate's answer is, don't talk about him, you are also a kind of encouragement to us, if you have a weak woman to climb up, and we can't climb, there is no face.
At noon on September 24, Luo Lili and her teammates boarded camp C3 at 7,700 meters. After a short rest, they began to rush to the top at 1 a.m. on the 25th. Because the snow is the hardest during this time, it is easy to climb.
In the pitch-black night, Lori wore a headlamp and an ice axe and marched toward the summit. In addition to the overhead lights, all Lo lily could see was the sparks of an ice pickaxe on the glacier. Luo Lili said: "Because my hiking boots do not fit, the heels are worn to a blur of blood and flesh, and every step I take, I feel the pain of drilling my heart. At that time, I wanted to give up climbing, but I couldn't stop my steps, as if the soul had been attracted to the summit. After all, every step is one step closer to the top. In the end, I persevered. ”
From camp C3 at 7700 meters to the peak of 8201 meters and the height of 501 meters, Luo Lili took 6 hours and 40 minutes. The two teammates spent 7 hours and 8 hours and 40 minutes respectively. The difficulty of the climb speaks for itself.
During the climb, Lori has been wearing two pairs of gloves. When the national flag was displayed at the summit for a souvenir, because the wind was too strong and the gloves were too thick, the flag could not be opened, so she took off the thick gloves on the outside and only wore the thin gloves on the inside to take a few photos. But in that short time, Luo Lili's right middle finger was frostbitten. After returning to Nanning, the skin of the fingers was still peeling off in large pieces.
Shortly after Luo Lili reached the summit, a member of the Swiss mountaineering team also successfully reached the summit. When he saw Luo Lili, he was suspicious of the heavenly immortals and couldn't believe it. Then he rushed over and warmly hugged Luo Lili, constantly chanting "chinesewomem, NO.1 (Chinese woman, first)". Luo Lili said: "At that moment, I was really proud. ”
Spend the Mid-Autumn Festival night at the foot of Zhuo Feng
Luo Lili withdrew Zhuo Feng on the day she reached the summit, from the summit to the base camp at the foot of the mountain, the withdrawal process lasted for nearly 24 hours, and the physical exertion was very large. In the process of retreating, Luo Lili was overworked, and once she stepped on the air and was tied by a protective rope, so she did not fall off the ice cliff. At the moment when she lost her foot in the air, Luo Lili still thinks back to this day, and she is still a little afraid.
"When I got back to base camp, I couldn't help but hide in my tent and cry." Luo Lili said, "At that time, the mood was very complicated, in addition to the excitement of the success of the summit, I also felt too tired, too bitter, too homesick, and I couldn't help but cry." ”
After retreating to the base camp, Luo Lili began to have a high fever. It was not until September 29 that his condition improved slightly, and he withdrew to Lhasa. Therefore, Luo Lili's Mid-Autumn Festival night was spent at the foot of Zhuo Feng. She had brought mooncakes with her beforehand, but she couldn't eat anything. "The feeling at that time was that it was close to the moon, but too far from home." Lori said.
In Lhasa, Luo Lili still had a high fever. On October 7, Luo Lili quietly returned to Nanning with her sick body. The high fever above 39 ° C and extreme exhaustion made Luo Lili bedridden for several days, and she could not go out to meet guests until the middle of October.
"Before I went down, I vowed never to climb again." Luo Lili smiled and said, "However, just after going down the mountain, I said to myself that next time I must climb a higher mountain."
After successfully reaching the summit of Zhuo Peak at an altitude of 8201 meters, Luo Lili qualified to climb Mount Everest and is expected to collect the flame for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games at the top of Mount Everest.
The most memorable and the most difficult moment to choose
But he wasn't complacent about it.
At noon on May 14, 2006, it was a special moment for Luo Lili, a moment when he was confronted with the difficult choices of death and survival, forward and retreat
At noon on May 14, 2006, Luo Lili reached 8680 meters of Mount Everest and was forced to retreat due to physiological problems. 8680 meters, although not the highest point of Everest, but Luo Lili still left a touching footprint. This is also the highest altitude reached by the people of Guangxi. At about 6 p.m. on the 14th, the reporter learned through Principal Nyima that Luo Lili looked very tired during the nearly 3 days of climbing. According to the team doctor, it is a physiological problem.
At noon on May 14, 2006, after Luo Lili reached an altitude of 8680 meters, she felt physically weak, although she still insisted on climbing upwards, but considering the physical exertion problem further up, Principal Nyima asked The Collaboration and Luo Lili to withdraw together, and at 6:20 p.m., Luo Lili withdrew to 7600 meters to stay overnight to recover her strength, and continued to retreat the next day.
Principal Nima said: "Luo Lili's performance has always been very tenacious, this time there are objective problems, failed to reach the top, but she has challenged a new height for herself. This little girl is not simple. ”
Behind the scenery
An ordinary woman, in just 5 months, has continuously climbed mounted Mount Everest North Pass and the world's sixth highest peak, Zhuo Aoyou, and the price behind success is beyond imagination.
Luo Lili's physique and endurance are exercised for a long time. In her spare time, she often spends her time climbing on rock climbs.
Usually to work, she always rides a bicycle. Commuting never takes the elevator, the 30-story tall building, she always jumps up and down the stairs. Even when she was shopping, she also quietly tied an 8-pound sandbag in her trouser leg. The gym was sprinkled with her sweat. The money paid for mountaineering is enough to buy a few cars. Just to climb Zhuo Feng, Luo Lili spent nearly 150,000 yuan. Despite the support of the unit, she spent all her savings and owed a lot of debts to her parents, relatives and friends.
Luo Lili said, "I just want to try what kind of height I can reach." ”
All the suffering is worth it
On the morning of May 18, 2009, Luo Lili, a member of the China Unicom mountaineering team, and nine other mountaineers set off from the Base Camp of Mount Everest and successfully climbed to the top of Mount Everest.
A very smooth climb, it seems that her efforts have touched Everest. Compared with the joy of reaching the top, Luo Lili is more glad that she persevered all the way, and she confessed that she had thought about giving up halfway, but finally convinced herself.
To be able to stand here today, all the suffering that was once there, is worth it!
