Chapter 107: The Story of the Widow and Her Two Friends
"You don't know it's the highest peak up there? Climbing Everest is like committing suicide, Widow!" papa Gelanda said, which means also Melissa's father.
The widow doesn't rub it. The conflict between her and her father often occurs. There are so many mountains that Gelanda has conquered.
His family is a nomad. They are from Holland.
But the tragic economic fate made Papa they decided to seek and seek more income. In another country.
And Nepal is the third country that they have visited here. Where in this city there is one large mountain with an altitude of 8,000 meters above sea level.
Mount Everest has two major hiking trails, the southeast ridge of Nepal and the northern ridge of Tibet, as well as many other rarely visited hiking routes.
Her hobbies are quite extreme. But from this hobby he also opened open trip services as a mountain guide.
Widow's first child in her family. And her sister Melissa was fifteen at the time. As for Gelanda, he was twenty-two years old at that time.
Melissa hugged her favorite roll. He with eyes that had just woken up was only able to quietly see his older sister arguing with her Papa.
"Not think about it anymore! Money may be big but your life means more to us!" said Mama Gelanda.
The widow who had been silent since then while cleaning up her hiking gear. He then turned to look towards his parents. Don't forget Gelanda noticed her sister, Melissa.
"Hmmm.." softly Gelanda thought as he folded his hands on his chest.
"Papa's medicine should be paid in a few days! Melissa school also still costs money. And yes, I want to expand my hobby to make money. Everest is a gold mine for me! Then we I didn't go home either. Papa and Mama will also get insurance money because of my death! You guys just calm down! I'm going home, I love you! And you, little brother!" the widow smiled at the three of them.
The heavy bag was already on his back. Then he approached the three. In front of them the widow hugged him for a long time.
Tinnnn
Tinnnn
The sound of the car horn outside made the Widow finally take off their embrace. He then walked away from there waving his hand.
That day Melissa saw how dark her brother's aura was back then. But at that moment Melissa was unaware of her ability. All he knew, having both eyes of the supernatural explorer was a disgrace.
Melissa put down her Papa's sleeve and said,
"Father, is it okay to let him go?" melissa asked her papa.
The Papa was only able to throw his breath rough. Indeed there are no honors and income greater than the property of the Widow.
His eldest son is a crutch here. In the heart of Papa Gelanda can only pray as well as his mother.
His father turned to look at Melissa who was lower than him. There he smiled and then nodded.
"We pray the best for our sister!" papa Gelanda said.
Melissa nodded hearing that. They then went back into their rooms.
It was exactly one o'clock at night. And the Dutch car trip to reach the Everest climbing post only takes about an hour drive.
The two people who joined Gelanda at that time were Jacob and Themo. They were both already as senior in terms of climbing as Gelanda.
"Oxygen is complete?" ask the widow on both.
Themo who was currently driving just nodded while clearing his throat. And Jacob, he held up his thumb.
Heart Gelanda is relieved to know that. The climb to the top of Everest requires oxygen.
An hour passed. The car they were riding in was anchored right in front of the licensing post. The widow and her two friends came down.
The climbers are already standing there. Yes, they are waiting for their guide. The three Guides are Gelanda, Themo and Jacob.
"If everything is ready line up in front of the mountain entrance!" Gelanda.
After Jacob completed the cost estimation. So Gelanda at that time distributed climber equipment to the ten conquerors of Everest.
Equipment is shared. They were all standing right in front of Everest's main line. And there before leaving the widow began to pray. They quietly pray to be safe until the top later.
Within that closed. The widow saw something. Something blurry in the snow. She was a woman smiling at him.
Then the man whispered quietly in his ear. He said,
'Eternal Willing!'
Said that voice which made Gelanda immediately open his two eyes. His heart is beating pretty fast. The Eternal Climber is a nickname for those who die on the mountain and are lost.
Their bodies will be there. Sometimes their bodies are not even found.
"You ready?" ask Jacob to the Widow.
"Huh.." said Gelanda then turned to look at Jacob.
There was a worried look on Jacob's face at that time when he saw the widow who was like that.
"You why?" ask Jacob.
The widow shook her head quickly not wanting to make the entire climber even two colleagues were afraid.
After the brewing was done they began their journey to climb to the top of Everest.
From post one to the next post is still pretty unexciting. But of course the cold was clear.
The higher they stand on it. Then the thinner the air that can be inhaled there. That's why they have to be smart about utilizing and saving their oxygen cylinders to get up there.
Up to a few days running Gelanda and his team are in one area. It is not uncommon to cross that path. Lots of bodies scattered. And this is the death zone on Mount Everest.
In the higher Mount Everest region, climbers heading to the summit usually spend a lot of time at this location (altitude higher than 8,000 meters (26,000 ft)), and face significant challenges to survive.
Temperatures can drop to very low levels, and this can result in frostbite on any part of the body exposed to air.
Because the temperature is so low, snow freezes well in certain areas and death or injury from slips and falls can occur.
High winds at these altitudes are also a potential threat to climbers.
In this zone the respiratory threat to climbers is low atmospheric pressure.
Atmospheric pressure at the summit of Everest is roughly one-third the pressure of sea level or 0.333 standard atmosphere (337 mbar), so there is only about one-third the oxygen available for breathing.
Lack of oxygen, fatigue, extreme cold weather, and climbing hazards all contribute to the number of deaths on this mountain.
People who are injured or unable to walk are in serious trouble, as rescue by helicopter is generally impractical and taking the person off the mountain is very risky.
People who die during the climb are usually left behind. As of 2006, about 150 bodies had never been found. It is not uncommon to find bodies near standard hiking trails.
The area of the corpse was Gelanda and his team passed by. Oxygen use is also well calculated. They kept walking.
