Chapter 223 - Chapter 223: Chapter 223 The Hardest Direction (2/2)

The sudden shout made Wayne hesitate for a moment.

He quickly grabbed his prepared rope, ready to throw it, but this rope was designed specifically for short-distance extension and was not very long.

Moreover, in such extreme conditions, a too long rope could easily be frozen by ice and snow and damage the internal fibers, causing it to break.

“Brother Chen Yu, this rope isn’t long enough, I’m afraid I can’t throw it over!”

“Trust me, throw it here!” Chen Yu called out and pulled a climbing hammer from his side, raising it over his head.

Although Wayne still hesitated, he had no choice at that moment and could only muster all his strength to throw the rope to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu eyed the rope’s trajectory and then fiercely kicked off the cliff with his feet, propelling his whole body into the air.

Then, he caught the rope firmly with his hammer and wrapped it around his hand.

The next moment, Chen Yu used the rope to swing himself right in front of Wayne.

“My God, how on earth did you do that!”

Wayne’s eyes were wide with disbelief.

Chen Yu said nothing, merely grabbed the rope and tied it around his waist before steadying himself.

He took a few deep breaths and pulled out an energy bar from his body, stuffing it into his mouth.

At that moment, Wayne looked at him as if he were a god.

In his eyes, Chen Yu had become a being that had surpassed human limits.

“Let’s rest here for a while, and then continue climbing, we should be able to reach the summit before sunset today.”

Only then did Wayne realize that they were effectively hanging on the cliffside, which only allowed them to take a brief rest; staying here too long could exhaust their strength.

Without any hesitation, he copied Chen Yu, tied the rope around his waist, and after securing himself, continued to climb upwards.

Every so often, they would switch ropes and re-anchor the climbing pegs.

The northern ridge was inherently perilous, and especially in the section they were climbing, there was not even a path to find—they could only move slowly upwards through such terrain.

Compared to Chen Yu, Wayne’s stamina was appearing somewhat weaker; before long, he was struggling, and if not for Chen Yu constantly pulling him along, he might have already fallen.

With the help of the system’s calculations, their ascent was relatively smooth, and they managed to reach the summit before sunset.

At this location was the world’s highest base station; once there, they could contact the outside world.

Additionally, there was a supply station nearby, with people stationed there year-round, and it was stocked with a large amount of essential supplies.

For anyone climbing Mount Everest, reaching this point meant success!

When the two men reached the summit, there erupted a chorus of exclamations.

These people had climbed from several safer routes, a feat that in the eyes of ordinary people was already quite an accomplishment.

Yet Chen Yu and Wayne had climbed up from the most difficult northern ridge, which to everyone there seemed like an impossibility.

A crowd immediately gathered around, some with cameras in hand, wanting to interview the pair about how exactly they had managed to climb from that direction.
