有必要用大字红字来表述你的意见吗?
商业登山在全世界都是登山主流?有统计数字吗?你去欧州,南北美等国山区看看,商业登山是否是主流。是主流的只是亚洲喜马拉雅地区,因为这里众多的8K级山峰很难依靠个人或者自发小团队而成功登顶,需要各方面的保障,后勤,气象等。
“谋杀”?我的话语中有靠近这个词的意思吗?我只是反对在登山中只把利益放在第一,而忽略了基本的道德,很多商业队是容易跨过底线的,不仅是国内,也是国外的商业队。
说个有意思的,新西兰Adventure Consultants这几年都对客户提供各式各样的套餐(在65000美金的基础上添钱可选),列举并简单翻译其中三个(
http://www.adventureconsultants.com/adventure/EvAddServices/):
Max Ox: We have combined the following two optionsinto a program we call Max Ox. That means you receive maximum oxygensupplies at the highest flow rate available on the climbing days aswell as having your equipment carried by Sherpas on the mountain. Theresults speak for themselves, your chances of having a successfuloutcome increase dramatically with this option.
最大支持:同时提供以下两个套餐。你将在登山日被提供最大供氧量,你的装备也将由夏尔巴向导来背负。成功登顶几率也当然会被大大增加。
Additional Oxygen Supplies: Our standard packageincludes plentiful oxygen; sufficient for ensuring a quality summitattempt with reserves incorporated into the equation. However, if youspecifically feel the need for additional oxygen or would like anadditional supply to ensure a higher performance level then we have thefacility to provide you with higher flow rates for the duration of theoxygen use period.
更多氧气:我们基础费用就包括了足够的氧气,但是如果你想得到更多氧气或者想有更好的表现,我们将会提供最大供氧量。
Additional Sherpa Support: Shouldering a heavy burdencan be debilitating at the higher elevations and sap crucial energylevels right when you need it. This option enables you to carry theequipment you need on a daily basis while we arrange for our Sherpastaff to carry your kit on camp moving days.
更多夏尔巴人的帮助:在高海拔登山,背包是一个很大的负担,但这个选择可以让你更加轻松的攀登。
第一次在他们网站看到这个套餐时,让我颇开眼界,登山也能这样?Sir Edmond Hillary在90年代初对Adventure Consultants的商业登山就提出非常尖锐的批评,当时的老板Gary Ball,Rob Hall可是顶着新西兰国内的巨大压力维持着这个公司。没多久,Gary Ball就在一次登山事故中遇难了,而Rob Hall则是96年珠峰山难的主角。
