Actually, down here, you see all of this avalanche debris 下面這里 其實有很多雪崩堆積物
where an avalanche has come down here,so it's a bad place to hang around.Get moving. 說明這里曾經發(fā)生過雪崩 所以此地不宜久留 快走吧
The weather has finally caught up with me. 烏云終于追上了我
The cloud cover has blotted out the horizon,And it's a total whiteout. 連地平線都被云層遮蔽了 典型的乳白天空
It's very hard to gauge your direction, you know? 現在真的很難辨別方向
Can't tell whether that's mountain ahead or cloud. 分不清前方是云還是雪
That's the danger of being caught in the mountains in a whiteout just losing all sense of your bearings. 這就是置身乳白天空下的 危險之處 方向感蕩然無存
And I heard of one solider skiing up in the arctic,and he actually thought he was stationary. 我聽說有一名軍人在北極滑雪前進著 而他還以為自己是完全靜止的
He wasn't aware he was actually moving forward. 絲毫沒有察覺自己正向前移動
And he dropped straight off the edge of a cornice. 結果直接從冰檐邊緣掉了下去
Survived it, but he was lucky.But that's how disorienting it can be in a whiteout. 他僥幸撿了條命 但在此環(huán)境下 人真的會迷失到這種地步
Really careful here.Cause I can't actually see,see what this goes over. 這里真的要小心 因為我能看到 能看到這里的情況
In the mountains,you want to err on the side of cautiousness. 在群山之中 再怎樣謹慎都不為過
What we can do is just make a snow bollard here,big shape. 我們在這里用積雪做一個系繩樁 要大型的
You want to keep a nice semicircle like that,about a foot deep. 要做一個這樣的漂亮的半圓形 深度約一英尺
I'm gonna put my rope into this as a belay that I can then rappel off. 然后把我的繩索埋進去 作為繩拴 這樣我就可以順繩而下
