Indlela edlula eHell Canyon ebabazekayo, ejoyina izifundazwe zaseNuevo León naseTamaulipas, inobude obucishe bube ngamakhilomitha angama-60 phakathi kwamathafa amade namahle ajulile ezindongeni kuze kufike ku-1 000 m ukuphakama, okwakungakaze kube ephazanyiswa umuntu eminyakeni eyisigidi.
Inhloso enkulu yalolu hambo kwakuwukufuna imihume yokuyihlola nokuyihlola ngokuzayo. Esingakwazi ukuthi injongo leyo izothatha isihlalo sangemuva lapho sibona ubunzima bomgwaqo, ngoba ukusinda kuzoba umsebenzi obaluleke kakhulu kuleyo ndawo engenabuntu, lapho sizobhekana nokwesaba kwethu futhi sithole isizathu segama I-Canyon.
Sahlangana neqembu labahloli bamazwe abahlanu: uBernhard Köppen noMichael Denneborg (eJalimane), uJonathan Wilson (USA), noVíctor Chávez noGustavo Vela (eMexico) eZaragoza, idolobha eliseningizimu yesifundazwe saseNuevo León. Lapho sihambisa imishini edingekayo kubhakha ngamunye, okufanele ingangeni manzi: "ababhukudi bazobaningi," kusho uBernhard. Ngakho-ke sipakisha izikhwama zokulala, ukudla okomile, okokugqoka kanye nezinto zomuntu uqobo ezikhwameni ezingangenwa ngamanzi nasezimbizeni. Mayelana nokudla, uJonathan, uVictor nami sabala ukuthi kwakudingeka sithwale izimpahla izinsuku eziyisikhombisa, futhi amaJalimane ayekwenzile izinsuku eziyishumi.
Ekuseni siqala ukwehla, sesivele singaphakathi komhosha, ngokuhamba okude phakathi kokugxuma nokubhukuda emachibini amanzi abandayo (phakathi kuka-11 no-12ºC). Kwezinye izingxenye, amanzi asishiyile, angena ngaphansi kwezinyawo zethu. Ojosaka, ababenesisindo esingaba ngu-30 kg, benza ukuhamba kuhamba kancane. Ngokuqhubekayo sifika kwisithiyo sokuqala esiqondile: ukwehla okuphezulu kwe-12 m. Ngemuva kokubeka amahange odongeni nokubeka intambo, sehla isibhamu sokuqala. Ngokudonsa nokukhipha intambo sazi ukuthi leli kwakuyiphuzu lokungaphinde libuye. Kusukela ngalowo mzuzu kuqhubeke, ukuphela kwento ebesingayenza bekuwukuqhubeka nomfula, ngoba izindonga eziphakeme ezisizungezile zazingavumeli noma iyiphi indlela yokuphuma. Inkolelo yokuthi kufanele wenze konke kahle yayixubene nomuzwa wokuthi kukhona okungahambi kahle.
Ngokuhamba kosuku lwesithathu sithole ukungena komhume, kepha lawo abebukeka ethembisa futhi asigcwalisa ngokulindela agcina ebangeni elingamamitha ambalwa, kanye namathemba ethu. Lapho sehla ngokwengeziwe, ukushisa kwanda futhi izindawo zokugcina amanzi zaqala ukuswela, kwazise amanzi ahambayo anyamalala kusukela ngosuku lwangaphambilini. "Ngaleli zinga, kuzofanele sithathe ipipi lethu ntambama," kusho uMichael encokola. Into abengayazi ukuthi ukuphawula kwakhe bekungekude neqiniso. Ebusuku, ekamu, sasizithola siphuza amanzi emgxobhozweni onsundu ukuze siqede ukoma.
Ekuseni, ngemuva kwamahora ambalwa ngiqale intaba, injabulo yafika ezingeni eliphezulu njengoba ngangibhukuda futhi ngigxuma emachibini aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka. Ngamanzi amaningi umhosha wawusuguqulwe waba yichibi elinezimpophoma ezingapheli. Inkinga yokuntuleka kwamanzi yayixazululiwe; manje kufanele sinqume ukuthi sizokhempa kuphi, ngoba cishe wonke umhosha wawumbozwe ngamatshe, amagatsha noma amanzi. Ebusuku, lapho ikamu selimisiwe, sakhuluma ngenani lamatshe aqhekekile esiwatholile endleleni, ngenxa yokwehla kwenhlabathi amakhulu amamitha ngaphezulu. "Kuyamangalisa!" –Kuphawulwe okukodwa-, "ukufaka isigqoko sokuzivikela akusona isiqinisekiso sokuthi omunye wabo ngeke akuwele."
Ngokubona ukuthi incane kangakanani intuthuko esesiyenzile futhi sicabanga ukuthi kungathatha isikhathi eside kunesikuhlelile, sanquma ukuqala ukukala ukudla.
Ngosuku lwesihlanu, ngemuva kwemini, lapho egxumela echibini lempophoma, uBernhard akazange aqaphele ukuthi kunetshe eliseduze nobuso ngezansi futhi lapho ewa walimala iqakala. Ekuqaleni besicabanga ukuthi akulona iqiniso, kepha amamitha angama-200 ngaphambili bekumele sime, ngoba bengingakwazi ukuthatha esinye isinyathelo. Yize kungekho noyedwa owasho lutho, ukubukeka kokukhathazeka nokungaqiniseki kwanika ukwesaba kwethu, futhi umbuzo owafika ezingqondweni zethu wawuthi: kuzokwenzekani uma engasakwazi ukuhamba? Ekuseni imithi ibivele isebenze futhi iqakala belithuthuke ngokumangazayo. Yize siqale imashi kancane, phakathi nosuku yenze inqubekela phambili ebonakalayo sibonga iqiniso lokuthi bekungekho okunye okusikhumbuza. Sasesifinyelele engxenyeni evundlile yomhosha futhi sanquma ukushiya lokho esasingasazukukudinga: izindophi namahange, phakathi kwezinye izinto. Indlala yayiqala ukubonakala. Ukudla kwakusihlwa ngalobo busuku, amaJalimane abelana ngokudla kwawo.
Ngemuva kokubhukuda isikhathi eside nokuhamba kanzima ezindaweni ezinhle zomhlaba, safika enhlanganweni yomhosha nomfula iPurificación. Ngale ndlela, isigaba sama-60 km besesiqediwe futhi bekufanele sihambe umgwaqo oya edolobheni eliseduzane kuphela.
Umzamo wokugcina esiwenzile wawungokomfula iPurificación. Ekuqaleni ukuhamba nokubhukuda; kodwa-ke, umsele wamanzi waphinda futhi wahlunga emadwaleni okwenza amakhilomitha okugcina angama-25 ashise ngandlela thile, njengoba kwakungu-28 ° C emthunzini. Ngomlomo owomile, izinyawo ezilimele, namahlombe asikiwe, safika edolobheni laseLos Angeles, umoya walo owawunomlingo futhi unokuthula kangangokuthi sasizizwa ngathi sisezulwini.
Ekuphetheni kohambo oluyisimanga olungaphezu kwamakhilomitha angama-80 ngezinsuku eziyisishiyagalombili, saba nomuzwa ongajwayelekile. Injabulo yokufeza umgomo: ukusinda. Futhi ngaphandle kokuthola imigede, uhambo oluya eHell's Canyon beluzimele lodwa, lushiya ukungahlaliseki kokuqhubeka nokufuna izindawo ezingakahlolwa kuleli zwe elihle.
UMA UYA EZARAGOZA
Ushiya idolobha laseMatehuala, ulibangise e-52 km ngasempumalanga ulibangise kuDoctor Arroyo. Lapho ufinyelela umgwaqo omkhulu wombuso cha. 88 qhubeka uye ngasenyakatho ubheke eLa Escondida; ukusuka lapho thatha ukuchezuka uye eZaragoza. Ungakhohlwa ukubeka idrayivu enamasondo amane elolini lakho ukukhuphuka esahaweni; ngemuva kwamahora amane uzofika epulazini laseLa Encantada. Ngenxa yobunzima bayo, kubalulekile ukuletha abasebenzi abakhethekile abazovakashela umhosha weSihogo.
