Leisurely Traveler with Check-in System

Before the official descent, there are still some preparations to be done.

First, of course, is putting on the gear.

When Li Younan sorted out his few belongings.

At this time, having already discarded most of his equipment, he only had a small backpack and a large snowboard left.

Besides that, check the live streaming equipment.

Climbing Mount Everest and then skiing down, Li Younan estimated this might be the only time in his life he does this, missing the chance to record it would be regrettable.

The live streaming equipment was also in his backpack, especially the communication device, which doesn’t look big but costs hundreds of thousands.

Of course, before the official descent, it’s necessary to have one final connection with Red Bull’s official live streaming room.

Li Younan immersed himself in preparing everything, and only then did someone from the team climbing up the south slope open their mouth and ask, ”Are you planning to ski down with this?”

At this point, everyone’s eyes focused on Li Younan.

Li Younan nodded casually.

Having gotten a confirmed answer, everyone present looked a bit dumbfounded.

Simply unbelievable.

You spend years training, finally gather the courage to assault the world’s highest peak, endure countless hardships to reach the top, and then here’s someone casually planning to ski down from there... how would you feel?

Honestly, you’d be dumbfounded.

Since the mountaineering team at the summit couldn’t resist chatting with Li Younan, those queueing below got a bit impatient.

Members from other countries couldn’t help but urge them on, asking about the situation up top, and soon news spread, and they all learned that a real mountaineering master had climbed from the north face.

Not only ascended without oxygen, but also planning to ski down.

Skiing down is already incredible enough, and the key is he’s using a single board?

Among the climbers here, some can ski, and only they understand the huge difference between single-board and double-board.

A few minutes later, everyone was clear about the situation above, and without exception, they were filled with deep admiration for Li Younan’s choice.

The crowd buzzed, and everyone going up eagerly wanted to see what this awe-inspiring master looked like.

After reaching the top, everyone took out their phones to take pictures with Li Younan.

The climbers who reached the summit wouldn’t stay long; after all, at such a high altitude, taking off the oxygen mask to say a word would require three or four gasps, it’s really not a place for humans to stay.

So after checking in at the summit and taking photos with Li Younan, they also hurried down.

Finally, only a few strong climbers and their Sherpa guides remained at the summit, wanting to witness the historic moment when Li Younan leapt on his snowboard.

And Li Younan’s equipment that he didn’t plan to take down, like the small pot for hot meals, safety ropes, etc., could be given to these climbing team members.

Not only giving them a memento but also preventing littering Mount Everest’s summit, ruining the environment.

The climbers who received souvenirs grinned widely.

At this time, the summit was no longer crowded, and Li Younan finally successfully connected to Red Bull’s official live streaming room.

...

In the live streaming room, there were two guests at the moment, one was Tom, a British climber who has challenged all 14 peaks above 8,000 meters, and the other was Berich, a Red Bull signed extreme skiing athlete.

After successfully connecting, the host immediately asked, ”Younan, how are you feeling now?”

Li Younan had already set up the live streaming equipment beside him, giving a thumbs up to the camera with a smile and said, ”I feel great. Right now I am doing two things, the first is having lunch, there’s some left over from the rice I cooked last night, and I plan to eat it all. The other thing is that I am currently operating my drone, using the remaining battery power for one last route check.”

Li Younan carefully saved all the photos returned by the drone onto his phone, and at this time, the drone’s battery finally ran out, completing its task before falling in an unknown location.

Everyone in the live streaming room started to feel the tension.

The host suppressed his excitement and asked, ”Younan, can you tell us about your next plan?”

Li Younan said, ”Of course I can. I climbed Mount Everest from the north line, but as we know, besides the north and south routes, there are up to 18 known routes for climbing Everest, and this time, I plan to ski down the Hornbain Couloir.”

Upon hearing Li Younan’s introduction, the host showed no particular expression, but beside him, mountaineering expert Tom and skiing expert Berich couldn’t help but gasp.

The host asked the mountaineering expert, ”Is the Hornbain Couloir a famous route?”

The mountaineering expert nodded and said, ”Yes, this route can be called a super direct route to climb Everest, almost the most dangerous route on the north face of Everest.”

”This route was named after Hornbain’s 1963 ascent from the west ridge turning to the north face, but in fact, what we refer to broadly as the Hornbain Couloir now also connects to the new snow gully below, the Japanese Snow Gully, these two couloirs are connected.”
