On the Kilimanjaro Mountain on the afternoon of Sunday, July 24, 2016, a sling across the sky in Africa, Siegrist walked carefully step by step, not seeing the slightest effort. Steep rocks, gravelly slopes and thick clouds do not seem particularly suitable for such laid-back walks, but when Stephan Siegrist is in it, all the wild, untouchable nature of the landscape has suddenly become fading. With the athletes together.
MAMMUT Stephan Siegrist, the Pro Team player, once again set the world record for high-altitude takeaways at the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro! This time about 20 meters of flat belt, set up at 5700 meters above sea level between Kilimanjaro and two rocks. The previous world record was created in 2015. The Hungarian Bence Kerekes was successful at the height of 5322 meters above sea level in Ladakh, India. Siegrsts has now exceeded this height by several hundred meters.
2016 is also the 21st year that Mammoth and Siegrist have cooperated!
The mountaineer once passed the sling on the Matterhorn and Dufourspitze. He is also the first mountaineer to complete the slack at the Matterhorn.
Tips: The Dufour is the highest point in Switzerland and the second highest peak in the Alps.
The thought of taking flats from a high altitude comes from the traditional way of flattening and keeping the balance of the body in the two fixed thin slings. Stretch straps in high altitude tend to stretch tighter and prevent excessive shaking, helping athletes maintain their balance. The difference between high-altitude flats and traditional flats is not limited to mastering the balance of the body, but also includes psychological factors, because high-altitude flat-strip athletes are at the foot of an abyss, and the safety of the body is hauled only by a thin rope. Traditional slacks athletes generally walk on flat belts that are lower than the ground.
As an experienced mountaineer, Siegrist does not fear the challenge from altitude. However, how to maintain the balance at an altitude of 5700 meters above sea level is not a very good chance for him.
"The dissatisfaction of land and water makes it difficult for me to control my body and find a balance," he said. "In this case, everything must be slow. When you slow everything, you will find a balance slowly."
The low oxygen content in the air not only makes breathing difficult, but also makes you feel dizzy. Even the first step of lifting the straps on the pedal becomes so difficult.
At this time, even if your very slight tension gives the rope a very exaggerated reaction, the rope starts to shake. Siegrist said, "When I can't fully relax, the webbing also quickly shakes."
Stephan Siegrist only led a small team to challenge Kilimanjaro to take the slack. This team only includes photographer and producer Thomas Senf and several porters. It was also Thomas who discovered the opportunity to take the flats at high altitude between Kilimanjaro and the mountains.
It is also a challenge to fix the ends of the flat band on the volcanic rocks of Mount Kilimanjaro. A good eye is needed to choose a stable rock as a fixed point and make necessary preparations.
The challenge of this expedition will also increase with the changes in the weather and the urgent schedule. Strong gusts of wind are predictable, but it is not certain that snow will fall. Blizzard will always bring "surprise". Of course, under such conditions, adventure opportunities will not be successful. However, in the afternoon of the challenge, under the sun in Africa, everything went smoothly!
"The 21st Year of Cooperation between Stephan Siegrist and Mammut Mammoth"
Siegrist was born in Switzerland in 1972. After he graduated, he started apprenticeship as a carpenter. An accidental ski trip ignited his enthusiasm and he became irresistible. Later he became his career. He had first climbed the difficult mountain peaks on seven continents and the precipitous rock formations in front of the Alps. Stephan lives with his family in Ringgenberg, Switzerland.
The story of Siegrist and MAMMUT mammoths began in December 1995. At the time, Siegrist, 23, started his first hiking adventure with two different brands of equipment in order to take outdoor photos. However, in the bad weather, the first set of equipment was incompetent, while another set of blue-orange and two-colored equipment that seemed to be rarely seen played an outstanding role. This is the MAMMUT's first edition of the mammoth series. In this process, Siegrist gave the Mammut Mammoth a very detailed try-on feedback and formed a positive and effective interaction.
This cooperation is like a fate in the midst of the Ming Dynasty, which opened his 21-year journey of trust and fun to the MAMMUT mammoth.
