Njengoba kwenzeka ngosuku lwakho lokufika, ummeleli wethu kanye nomshayeli bazohamba nawe baye e-TIA futhi bakuthembise ukuthi bazokubona maduze eNepal ukuze uthole uhambo lwakho olulandelayo.
Izinkathi ezinhle kakhulu zokukhuphuka i-Island Peak ngokubuya kwendiza enophephela emhlane amafasitela avulwa phakathi nentwasahlobo (kusukela ngoMashi kuya kuMeyi) kanye nezinkathi zasekwindla (kusukela ngoSepthemba kuya kuNovemba) eNepal.
Inzuzo yalezi zinkathi ezimbili ukuthi zinikeza ukubonakala okucacile kanye nesivinini somoya esiphansi, okubalulekile ekundizeni ngendiza enophephela emhlane, ikakhulukazi ukusuka eChhukung kuya eKathmandu.
Phakathi kwentwasahlobo kanye nekwindla, intwasahlobo iyintandokazi yomkhweli njengoba iqhwa ezindaweni eziphakeme liba ncane futhi lizinzile, okuvumela ukubamba okuhle kakhulu kwe-crampon okudingekayo odongeni oluphezulu kanye nokukhuphuka kwesiqongo.
Ikwindla iyindawo yesibili ethandwayo phakathi kwabakhwela izintaba, enikeza nesimo sezulu esizinzile nesomile esidingekayo ezindizeni zezindiza ezinophephela emhlane eziphakeme. Futhi, uzoba nokubonakala okumangalisayo kwazo zonke izintaba eziphakeme zaseHimalaya zesifunda sase-Everest.
Ubusika (kusukela ngoDisemba kuya kuFebhuwari) bunikeza isibhakabhaka esihle kakhulu nesicwebile, kodwa isizini nayo iphawuleka ngamazinga okushisa angaphansi kwezinga-zero kanye nemimoya enamandla ephakeme, ngakho-ke kudingeka uqaphele kakhulu uma ukhetha ukukhuphuka i-Island Peak kulesi sikhathi sonyaka.
Ngokuphathelene nemvula enkulu/ihlobo phakathi kukaJuni no-Agasti, izimvula ezinkulu, inkungu ejiyile, namafu aminyene ngokuvamile kungaba yizimbangela zokulibaziseka noma ukukhanselwa kwendiza. Indlela yokukhuphuka izoba nengozi enkulu ngenxa yokwanda kokuwa kwamatshe kanye nokuwa kweqhwa.
I-Island Peak ihlukaniswe njengengqungquthela ye-2B enezinga le-PD elisezintabeni, okubonisa ukuthi ukukhuphuka ingqungquthela kuwuhambo oluyinkimbinkimbi futhi oluyinselele kancane.
Izinselele ezingase zivele ngesikhathi sokukhuphuka kwethu i-Island Peak kanokusho yilezi:
Ngakho-ke, ukukhuphuka kwethu i-Island Peak nge-helicopter adventure yokubuya kudinga amandla angempela omzimba, amakhono ayisisekelo okukhuphuka izintaba, kanye nokuqina kwengqondo okuhle kakhulu.
Nakuba senze ukukhuphuka kwethu i-Island Peak ngendiza enophephela emhlane kwaba yinto ekhangayo nejabulisayo kakhulu, enciphisa ukucindezeleka ngokomzimba, lokhu akushintshi iqiniso lokuthi i-Island Peak akuyona indawo yokukhuphukela phezulu.
Kusenezingxenye ezimbalwa zobuchwepheshe endleleni eya esiqongweni ezizohlola ukukhuthazela kwakho kanye namakhono akho ayisisekelo okukhuphuka izintaba. Ezinye zezinselele zobuchwepheshe ezikulethela le ntaba yilezi:
Endleleni eya eSiqongweni Sesiqhingi, kuzodingeka uzulazule emthambekeni oqondile we-Imja Glacier usebenzisa intambo, ama-crampon, kanye ne-ice ax.
Ukujula kwemifantu kuncike esikhathini okhetha ukukhuphuka ngaso isiqongo. Kodwa-ke, zisekhona, okudingeka uzidlule usebenzisa ileli ye-aluminium ngenkathi ugqoke ama-crampon. Lo msebenzi udinga ukuzola kwengqondo okuhle kakhulu, ibhalansi, kanye nokuqina.
Lesi yingxenye eyinhloko yobuchwepheshe yesiqongo sesiqhingi, esimi njengodonga oluqondile oluqondile lweqhwa neqhwa oluyimitha eyi-100 olubheke ekhoneni elingama-degree angu-45 kuya kwangu-60.
Ukuze ubhekane nalesi sigaba, udinga ukusebenzisa i-jumar nezintambo eziqinile, okumele ube namandla aqinile omzimba ongaphezulu kanye nomgogodla wazo.
Inselele elandelayo yobuchwepheshe yisihloko sentaba uqobo lwayo, esiwumqansa omncane, oveziwe, ofana nommese. Lapha, kufanele ube nesisekelo esiqinile futhi ukwazi ukubhekana nomoya ovunguzayo wentaba.
Okunzima futhi okunobuchwepheshe ngokulinganayo ukwehla okude usuka esiqongweni sentaba. Nalapha futhi, kuzodingeka wehle uqonde odongeni oluphezulu bese uphinda udlule odongeni oluphezulu lweqhwa lase-Imja ukuze ufike ekamu eliyisisekelo le-Island Peak.
