After 80, the climber crashed into the glacier crack and was killed by the captain of Tsinghua Mountaineering.

Yesterday, many people in the mountaineering community got bad news. At 6 pm on July 9th, the young climber Yan Dongdong was killed when he climbed the Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang. At that time, Yan Dongdong evacuated to an altitude of 4,400 meters. He was caught in deep dark cracks and was stuck. His teammates repeatedly failed to rescue him.

Yan Dongdong is 28 years old and graduated from the Department of Life Sciences and Technology of Tsinghua University. She is the top scholar of the 2001 college entrance examination in Anshan, Liaoning Province. In 2008, the Beijing Olympic Torch successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest. Although Yan Dongdong did not participate in the relay, as a supporting member, he also climbed the summit with the team.

Love climbing in Tsinghua

This time I went to Tianshan, and Zhou Peng and Li Shuang, two partners who traveled with Yan Dongdong. Ma Xinxiang, Director of the Training Department of the China Mountaineering Association, telephoned Zhou Pengtong and learned about the situation: At 6 pm on July 9th, in the Tomur region of the Western Tianshan Mountains in Xinjiang, Yan Dongdong evacuated to a height of about 4,400 meters. Deep dark cracks were stuck. After many attempts by his companions, the rescue failed. Zhou Peng and Li Shuang have now returned to base camp.

After learning of the bad news, many Tsinghua alumni were grief-stricken. Some people recalled: “7 years ago, when I first entered Tsinghua Mountain, you led the first camp—you were a good teacher at that time; four years ago, the Olympic flame. At the summit of Mount Everest, triumphantly, I and a group of brothers and sisters came to the airport late at night to welcome your return. At that time, you were a hero; today, I only wish that you can sit in front of me and drink a glass of wine with your brothers. meat……"

Yan Dongdong wrote in his own article that he read the freshman in 2002, joined the Tsinghua Mountaineering Team and began contact with mountaineering, and later served as captain of the mountaineering team. “In the past few years in Tsinghua, I have felt more and more strongly that mountaineering is something I really like and deserve my life.” When he graduated in 2005, his dream for the future was simple: Go mountaineering freely and arrange life freely.

Usually rely on translation for a living

It is not easy to realize the dream of free climbing, because people have to save.

In the end, Yan Dongdong chooses a translator to make a living. The content of the translation is varied: news reports, technical documents of biological companies, collections of ancient coins... These activities make him barely make a living. But there are only a few days each month to work. Most of the days he used to run, practice pull-ups and practice climbing. Later, Yan Dongdong specifically chose to translate books related to mountaineering, such as the Mountaineering Technical Manual. So far, he has translated 23 books.

When preparing for the Olympic Torch, he marched in the camp at 6,500 meters on Mount Everest. Yan Dongdong met Zhou Peng, a student at the China Agricultural University. They were chatting in the tent about the contents of the book Extreme Mountaineering. They felt bloody and agreed to experience the feeling of free climbing after the torch event.

In 2009, Yan Dongdong and Zhou Peng completed the first ascent of the Central South Pillar line at the sister peak of Siguniang Mountain in Sichuan Province, reaching the ice-filled peak of 6,247 meters above sea level. This climb allowed them to sign up as a sponsor athlete for a famous outdoor brand.

Yan Dongdong has finally realized his dream step by step and is free to go mountain climbing, not only having time but also sponsoring support.

Long already wrote the "Declaration of Immunity"

Yan Dongdong once said to reporters who interviewed him: “In five years, I wouldn’t look for a girlfriend because I’m worried about it. Like Ximen Blowing Snow, his swordsmanship has flaws. Climbing is dangerous and I may be at any time. Hang up, so talk about feelings for the time being."

Because he realized the danger of climbing, in April this year, Yan Dongdong wrote a “Declaration of Exemption”: I understand that mountaineering is an activity that is inherently dangerous and may result in serious injury or death... I think, If during the course of the mountain-climbing activities I voluntarily chose to participate in, I suffered serious injury or death because of any reason that was not intentionally created by me or my peers, then my partner should not be held responsible for this...
