Follow-up: The identity of the mountaineering victims was revealed, the only girl died tragically, and the circle of friends before her death was exposed

I never thought that such a mature mountaineering choice as Yuzhu Peak could have such an accident, and on April 13, a missing contact report touched the hearts of the public.

You must know that the temperature difference between day and night on the mountain is very large, once you lose contact, there is a high probability of an accident, and sure enough, with the search and rescue, the remains of the three climbers were found, and one of the women in the circle of friends before the mountaineering has also become the last word she left to the world.

So what exactly is this statement? What was the specific cause of the accident?

It's really "looking for death" by yourself

With an altitude of 6,178 meters above sea level, Yuzhu Peak is known as a 6,000-meter-level snow-capped mountain known as "novice-friendly".

On April 9, a WeChat group called "Departure to Yuzhu Peak on Friday" was set up, and the group was full of enthusiasm, discussing crampons, trekking poles, chocolates, and even some people posted newly bought jackets.

According to the news in the group, they were originally going to start climbing in the early morning of April 13, and they could go down the mountain at 6 o'clock in the morning, with a total of 3 hours before and after.

So in the early morning of April 13th, 5 people were ready to set foot on the snow mountain, before leaving, a few people were still talking and laughing, and the girl also posted a circle of friends, saying that she really wanted to change to a decent job, but what the 3 people didn't know was that there would be no return.

The regular hiking routes of Yuzhu Peak are generally marked with eye-catching road signs, but the three chose to detour from the southeast side of the south slope, this kind of "wild road" is called "fare evasion route" in the circle, which can not only avoid the management of the base camp, but also save 8,800 yuan per person for the guide fee.

Satellite maps show that the area they traveled around was littered with dark crevices, and on April 12, a nationally windy weather caused snow to loosen and a seemingly flat ice surface suddenly collapsed.

This made the course of action of these three people full of danger, and according to the later restoration of the rescue team, the girl among the three should have been the first to fall, and the other two men saw the condition of their teammates.

He tried to pull the girl out of it with his own strength, but in the end he failed, and the three of them were trapped in the ice cracks hundreds of meters deep.

When their bodies were found, the protective clothing of the three had been worn very badly, which confirmed everyone's previous speculation about this matter.

Food for thought triggered by the accident

At the same time, it is very regrettable that the mountaineering accident on the south slope of Yuzhu Peak in Qinghai Province caused the unfortunate death of three climbers, and the exposure of this incident immediately attracted a lot of people's attention, and also triggered a discussion about the risks, personal responsibility and social responsibility of extreme sports.

In the pursuit of challenge and freedom, we need to think carefully about personal choices, society's perception of extreme sports, and the bottom line of safety, and this accident brings not only sadness, but also an opportunity for deep reflection.

In the face of extreme sports, how individuals should assess the risk and how the society should provide protection, these are all issues that we need to think about together, and hope that this accident can arouse more people's attention to safety issues.

The passing of life is like a still note, playing a song that makes people feel extremely sad, Zhang, a 22-year-old college student, updated his circle of friends the day before setting off to climb the mountain, writing: "I was woken up in a daze, and I really wanted to change to a decent job at that moment." ”

Looking at this sentence now, it seems extremely heavy, and she can feel that she is tired and confused about real life, perhaps in her opinion, the snow mountain represents a kind of escape, her desire to live without "decent work", and the snow mountain has a special meaning for her. She wanted to find something different there.

The reason why Yu, a promising postdoctoral fellow, chose to challenge the snow-capped mountains is thought-provoking, is it the pursuit of challenging the limits of self, or the desire to explore a deeper spiritual world?

Wang, an experienced mountaineering enthusiast, is enthusiastic about helping others and participates in mountaineering activities every week, but why did he encounter misfortune in a familiar field? Is it because of overconfidence, or is there a skew in the assessment of potential risks?

These three climbers of different ages and social status, who came together because of a common hobby, unfortunately all died in the snowy mountains, such an ending is regrettable.

The "entry-level" myth of Jade Everest

Yuzhu Peak has convenient transportation and relatively low climbing difficulty, and is often considered an ideal choice for novices to challenge the snow-capped mountains, so it attracts many mountaineering enthusiasts, but entry-level snow-capped mountains also have risks, and they are not "you can go up with legs" as the Internet guide says.

The high-altitude environment is very harsh, and it is easy to suffer from hypoxia, hypothermia, and can also encounter dangers such as slips and avalanches. Don't be fooled by the beautiful scenery, make sure you are well prepared before you climb the mountain, and don't take it lightly.

Even if the technical requirements are not high, in a high-altitude place, even a small mistake can cause a big disaster and cannot be taken lightly, this accident tells everyone, do not believe the "entry-level" snow mountain, the beautiful pictures on the Internet do not represent the real situation, be sure to carefully assess the potential dangers of high-altitude mountaineering.

Don't let your guard down just because the snow-capped mountains are called "entry-level", the high-altitude environment is complex and changeable, so you need to be well prepared and cautious, and remember to put safety first.

Social Responsibility & Safety Boundary

When such a tragic incident happens, it is not enough to think about personal problems, but also about the bottom line of society and security. How can we prevent the tragedy from happening again? First of all, we must popularize safety knowledge, so that everyone knows how dangerous it is to climb snowy mountains, and don't think that entry-level ones are fine.

Secondly, we must strictly manage mountaineering activities, report honestly, and save people in time if something happens, and finally the media should not brag about "you can climb with legs", and objectively report mountaineering accidents, reminding everyone to remember the risks: safety first, do what you can, personal reflection is crucial, and carefully evaluate your physical condition and experience level before each departure.

Choosing a hiking route that matches your ability, following the advice of professionals, and learning practical climbing techniques can effectively avoid unnecessary risks.

It is also a responsible practice to buy an insurance policy for yourself, which is not only a guarantee of your own safety, but also a commitment to your family, in case of accidents, it can reduce the financial burden of the family, and you can enjoy the fun of mountaineering with peace of mind if you are fully prepared.

Timeless theme

The accident at Yuzhu once again reminds us that life is precious, and the spirit of challenging ourselves is important, but safety must come first. We should respect life and revere nature.

For example, we need to find a balance between personal choices, social concepts and safety bottom lines, which is what we need to think about together, mountaineering is not only a simple sport, but also a kind of awe of life, as well as the exploration of our own potential, we need to seriously think about how to challenge the limit at the same time, to ensure their own safety to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy.

In order to move forward more steadily and in the long run, we need to think calmly and make wise choices, and we must seriously reflect on this unfortunate incident and sum up our experience and learn lessons.

To avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, we need to get to the root of the problem and take effective precautions to prevent similar tragedies from happening again. Everyone should think deeply about this and work together to create a safer and better future.
