今年五一,#珠穆朗玛峰凌晨两点还在堵#冲上热搜第一。虽然描述有点夸张,但是排起长队的珠峰攀登者,还是引起了外界的好奇和感慨。

登山季开始,夏尔巴挑夫就开始前往海拔5300米的珠峰大本营为登山客运送物资给养,同时他们要在客户到来之前清理大本营平台上的碎石、冰块,便于修建营地和帐篷。
除此之外,夏尔巴人还得像保姆一样负责登山客的方方面面,比如修筑厕所、餐厅。
在客户达到大本营后,夏尔巴人就要带着客户进行20天左右的适应性训练,并在客户冲顶之前铺好登峰之路。
进行登顶之前的铺路,与其说是铺,更像战争中的敢死队一样,为主力部队提前解决危险,遇坑搭桥、铺设安全绳,用命排查一切风险。

接下来看看各路段的情况,这条登山客一次攀登者最多走2次,而夏尔巴人可能要走20-30次的攀登之路,且登山客是在有夏尔巴人“探路”的情况下走的,而夏尔巴人却是在“探索”中行走。
那我们提到珠峰攀登,不得不提到常居在喜马拉雅山区的夏尔巴人呀。上一期我们讲到什么是夏尔巴人,那本期我们来讲讲夏尔巴人在攀登珠穆朗玛峰中的协助作用吧!在登顶珠峰这,夏尔巴人付出的牺牲太多太多,但是为什么还要去承受?
Most Sherpas have no other livelihood activities, and mountaineering is the most profitable activity in the region. At the same time, mountaineering is also an important part of Nepal’s economy. Mountaineering companies hope to charge guests who want to climb to the top $100,000, while Sherpa guides only earn $5,000 for a two-month expedition, but this is already a remote area and that payment is ten times the average annual salary. Many Sherpas who climbed the mountain said: “I climbed the mountain so that my children would not have to climb the mountain in the future.” It is great to climb the peak bravely for the sake of dreams, but its more noble to live it with all your might.
大多夏尔巴人没有其他谋生活动,登山是最赚钱的活动。同时登山也是尼泊尔经济的重要一环,登山公司希望向希望登顶的客人收费十万美元,而夏尔巴向导协助一趟两个月的远征客只赚五千美元,但这已经是偏远地区年薪十倍。很多登山的夏尔巴人表示:“我登山,是为了孩子以后可以不登山”。为了梦想勇攀高峰,固然伟大。但是和梦想一样高贵的,是倾尽所有去生活。
However, the New York Times cited data from the Himalayan Database showing that from 1905 to the spring of 2022, 315 climbers died on Mount Everest, nearly one-third of whom were Sherpas. They need to be recognized for their heroic work and sacrifices.
但是《纽约时报》援引Himalayan Database的数据显示,从 1905 年到 2022 年春季有315名攀登者葬身珠峰,其中近三分之一是夏尔巴协作。获得同等的荣誉。同样是攀登珠峰。让我们不得不佩服。
