艾德．傑克遜：竭盡所能的生存之路
【摘要2023-02-16.四.壹蘋】
In April 2022,
Ed Jackson, a former English rugby player, and his team were trying to climb
7,126-meter Himlung Himal in the Himalayas. Because of COVID-19, nobody had
climbed the mountain in two and a half years. Therefore, he and his team had to
set up new camps and ropes along the way. As Jackson and his team reached 6,800
meters, they had no choice but to turn back due to difficult conditions. They
quickly found themselves stuck on the side of a mountain.
2022 年四月，前英國籍橄欖球選手艾德．傑克遜和他的團隊試圖登上喜馬拉雅山脈中高達
7,126 公尺的希姆隆峰。因為新冠病毒疫情，已經長達兩年半沒有人登上這座山。所以，他和他的團隊一路上都必須設置新的營地和繩索。當傑克遜和團隊抵達
6,800 公尺高時，由於艱困的狀況，他們不得不調頭回去。他們很快地發現自己被困在山的一側。

firefighters. "There’s a lot of steps we need to do to make it as safe as
possible. For not just the dog but also our rescuers."

and bring him back to the surface.（AP）
