History of climbing equipment

<

Mountaineering equipment is an indispensable part of mountaineering. The so-called climbing equipment refers to the collective use of the mountaineering athletes in the mountain climbing and the use of special equipment, security equipment and daily equipment. Together with mountaineering food and fuel, it constitutes the entire material guarantee system for mountaineering activities. Without mountaineering equipment, mountaineering is difficult to carry out. It is known to all that in remote high mountain areas, there are scarce supplies and there is basically no ready-made material condition that can guarantee the life and climbing of mountain climbers. Before entering the mountains, if the climbers do not carry enough climbing gear, food, fuel and other climbing supplies, survival will become a problem, not to mention climbing.

In the process of climbing, climbers often face dangers such as rockfalls, slides, storms, avalanches, ice collapses, cracks, and lack of oxygen. It is not enough to rule out these dangers by relying solely on the climber’s own strength, but also to require professional mountaineering. Equipment assistance. Because the mountaineering equipment is used under extremely harsh conditions, its scientific content should be placed at the top of the list. In plain terms, mountaineering equipment is expensive. The so-called “precision” means that all aspects of the design, selection, and manufacturing of mountaineering equipment should meet the requirements of being lightweight, cold-resistant, sturdy, efficient, and multi-purpose, and should be used to assist climbers in safely completing the climb. . If the mountaineering equipment is not refined, it will not only cause trouble to the climb, affect the summit, but also will give the climber an irreparable wound.

Recall that in 1960, China’s first ever climb of Mount Everest, Wang Fuzhou, Gongbu, and Qu Yinhua reached the summit. For the first time, they achieved the feat of successfully climbing the world’s highest peak from the northern slope, which greatly inspired the Chinese people’s ambition. However, behind the triumph of victory is a heavy price: a total of 145 people in the team, more than 20 people suffered frostbite, and 5 of them were amputated. Not only that, when the 4 team members reached the bottom of the “second step”, they only rely on general The mountaineering equipment was unable to move forward. After more than five hours of hard work, the team exhausted their strength and finally passed the force of the ladder. For this reason, one of the team members was unable to stand because he was tired because of excessive fatigue. His companions had to put him in a sleeping bag and wait for rescue. Although three of the four people climbed to the top, there were two of them. People have frostbite amputation. There are many reasons for the above-mentioned situations. Looking for reasons from the aspect of equipment, the main reason is that “weapons are not good”, that is, the warm equipment is not good, and there is no special equipment that overcomes the terrain and difficulties of the “second level”.

When we climbed Mount Everest again in 1975, we summed up the lessons learned during the 1960 climb and decided to improve our equipment. Together with relevant leaders, technicians and workers of Shanghai Yanji Feather & Garment Factory, General Shoes Factory and Xi'an Hongan Machinery Manufacturing Company, we reformed domestic down apparel and domestic mountain boots and pioneered the “second step”. The specially-made equipment, the Chinese mountaineering ladder, works well through mountaineering practice. The total number of climbers was 179, and frostbite was 8; two of them were amputated; 9 commandos, including one female, passed the "second step" in just over 50 minutes and successfully climbed safely. The men and women mixed a world record with the highest number of women in the world in the collective security and Pando completed the feat of the world’s women’s first ever Everest from the northern slope. Look at the frostbite of more than 20 people, among whom 5 were amputated and 8 were frostbite, including the ratio of amputation of two people; the ratio of more than five hours to more than fifty minutes; three people reaching the summit, and two of them were amputated and 9 were safe The ratio of the top, how disparity these figures! There are many reasons for these comparisons. Of course, we cannot attribute all of our efforts to the improvement of mountaineering equipment. However, we can also see that the excellent mountaineering equipment plays an important role in mountaineering.

Climbing equipment is developed with the development of mountaineering and science and technology. The development of mountaineering and the advancement of science and technology have prompted people to improve and create new climbing equipment. Once new mountaineering equipment is adopted by mountaineers, it can also promote the mountain climbing to a new level. Therefore, mountaineering equipment is also an important symbol of the development level of mountaineering, that is, climbing equipment in different periods reflects the development level of mountaineering in different degrees. This is evidenced by the history of foreign and Chinese mountaineering.
