Ngati panali mawu amodzi omwe mungagwiritse ntchito pofotokoza Melissa Arnot, zikadakhala choncho badass. Muthanso kunena kuti "wokwera phiri wamkazi," "wothamanga wolimbikitsa," komanso "mpikisano wa AF." Kwenikweni, amakhala ndi chilichonse chomwe mwina mumakonda kwambiri othamanga achikazi.

Chimodzi mwazinthu zabwino kwambiri zomwe Arnot ali nazo, ndikuthamangitsa kwake kupitiliza malire. Atakhala mkazi woyamba waku America kuti akwaniritse bwino ndikutsika phiri la Everest popanda mpweya wowonjezera koyambirira koyambirira kwa chaka chino, wowongolera Eddie Bauer nthawi yomweyo adayamba ntchito yatsopano: kukawona nsonga zonse zazitali 50 ku United States m'masiku 50 . (Wouziridwa komabe? Nazi Mapaki 10 A National omwe Muyenera Kuyendera Musanamwalire.)

Koma Arnot sakanatengera 50 Peaks Challenge yokha. Maddie Miller, wamkulu wa koleji wazaka 21 komanso Eddie Bauer wophunzitsa, akakhala naye limodzi. Wobadwa ku Sun Valley, ku Idaho, Miller ndi banja lake akhala paubwenzi wapamtima ndi Arnot kwazaka zambiri koma samakhala msungwana wakunja wamapiri. M'malo mwake, pomwe Arnot adapita kusukulu yasekondale yakale ya Miller koyambirira kwa kasupeyu kuti akalankhule ndi pulogalamu ya utsogoleri wakunja, ambiri adadzidzimuka kumva kuti Miller akhala mnzake wa Peaks 50. Koma kachiwiri, Arnot sanali wokwera phiri nthawi zonse. Mnyamata wazaka 32 adayamba kukonda masewerawa ali ndi zaka 19, atakwera Phiri Lalikulu la Kumpoto kunja kwa Glacier National Park ku Montana.

"Zasintha moyo wanga," akutero za kukwera phazi 8,705. "Pokhala m'mapiri, inali nthawi yoyamba kumva kuti izi ndi zomwe ndikufuna kuchita. Ndipamene ndimakhala kunyumba koyamba."

Miller akuti adakhala ndi mphindi yofananira pomwe adakwera Mount Rainier ndi abambo ake ndi Arnot ngati omaliza maphunziro aku sekondale. "Abambo anga nthawi zonse ankanditenga maulendo ang'onoang'ono basi iwo ndi ine, ndipo ndinkangofuna kukhala panja, koma sindinayambe ndaganizapo ngati chinthu chomwe chingandipatse njira yomveka bwino m'moyo wanga kapena chinachake chimene mwina chingathe. ngakhale kukhala ntchito, "akutero a Miller. "Koma titangochita Rainier zinandisokoneza maganizo m'njira yodabwitsa kwambiri. Sindinadziwe kuti chinali chinachake chomwe chinali mu mtima mwanga."

Arnot samakumbukiranso nthawi yomwe adawona babu yaying'ono ikupitilira Miller. "Mosakayikira anali wophunzira kwambiri komanso wamanyazi komanso wopanda nkhawa, zomwe ndizovuta chifukwa uyenera kusangalatsa anthu kuti akhale owongolera mapiri - sikuti ndi chitetezo chokha, chimapereka utsogoleri wokhazikika komanso nthawi yabwino," akutero Arnot. "Koma Maddie anali ndi mphindi iyi pomwe zinali zovuta kwambiri ndipo adakwanitsa kupyola, ndipo ndichimodzi mwazinthu zosangalatsa kwambiri zomwe zitha kuchitika m'mapiri. Zinali zabwino kwambiri kuziwona zikuchitika kwa iye chifukwa ndiye ndimatha kuziwona- Ndinkatha kuona chikhumbo chake, kuyendetsa kwake, ndi chilakolako chake. Ndinadziwa kuti kukwera kunali chiyambi chabe kwa iye. (Psst: Onani Zinthu 16 Zofunika Kukakwera Paulendo Wanu Wotsatira.)

Anali wolondola-kumeneko kunali kukwera kumene kunayambitsa lingaliro la 50 Peaks Challenge pamene awiriwa adaganiza kuti athamangire dziko lonse chilimwe m'galimoto ya soup ndi kukwera nsonga mwachangu momwe angathere. Koma monga momwe zimakhalira ndi zochitika zilizonse, mapulani samakonda kuyenda, monga momwe amakonzera. Atangoyamba kumene, awiriwa adaganiza kuti Miller apite ku Denali kuti ayambe ulendo wawo yekha pamene Arnot anatsalira kuti achire chifukwa cha kuvulala kozizira komwe adakumana nako pa Everest. Vutoli lidali lokhumudwitsa, atero a Miller-ndipo zidatengera Arnot pantchito kuti athyole ziwerengero za 50 Peaks-koma Arnot akuti sizinali mbiri yadziko lonse lapansi kwa iye.

"Ndinalibe wondiphunzitsa, wina amene adandiwonetsa zomwe zingatheke," akutero. "Ndidangofunika kupanga njira yanga kuti ndiphunzire zovuta zomwe zimagwira ntchito ndi zomwe sizigwira. Maddie ndiwowoneka bwino komanso wodekha, koma ndimadziwa kuti mwina kukhala pafupi ndi ine kumakhudza moyo wake. Ndimamva kwambiri Thandizo lothandizira kumuwonetsa zomwe zingatheke. Izi ndi zomwe ulendo uno unali pafupi kuti ndiwonetse Maddie zomwe angakwanitse."

Ndipo mutha kunena kuti zidagwira. "Sindinkadziwa kuthekera komwe amayi anali nako ... chifukwa sindimadziwa akazi amphamvu mpaka nditakumana ndi Melissa," akutero Miller. "Adatsegula maso anga kuwona kuthekera kwatsopano kumene ndikadakhala nako, kuti ndikhale wolimba mtima ndikukhala ndi liwu. Sindiyenera kukhala pambali ndikulola anthu ena kuti alamulire."

Koma, sikophweka kukhala pafupi ndi wina tsiku lonse tsiku lililonse - makamaka pomwe 15 maola amenewo nthawi zambiri amakhala mgalimoto m'malo moyenda pamsewu - komanso koyambirira kwa ulendowu, Arnot ndi Miller akuti akumva kupsinjika. "Tidali ndi chithunzi chodabwitsa cha momwe ulendowu ukhalira ndipo udangowonongeka," akutero Arnot. "Panalibe mphindi yodekha. Maddie adachoka ku Denali, komwe kunali kukwera kwachangu komanso mawonekedwe ngati zen, mpaka chisokonezo chonse."

Miller akuti atakumana ndi Arnot adakhumudwa kwambiri. "Ndinali nditangochoka kumene ku Denali ndipo ndinali kuyesera kukulunga ubongo wanga pazomwe ndidzakhala mtsogolo ndipo sindinathe kuchita."

Kusagwirizana kumeneku kunatenga masiku atatu ndipo kunamusiya Arnot akuchita mantha kuti apitiliza.

"Panali nthawi, moona mtima, ndimadzifunsa ngati ndalakwitsa pakuweruza," akutero. "Ndidakhala ngati, 'Kodi ndidakokomeza zomwe angathe? Kodi zimuwononga ndipo sangakwanitse kuchita izi?' Zinandichititsa mantha. "

Kugona kumatha kuchita zinthu zodabwitsa, komabe, kwa Miller, zimapatsa nthawi kuti asinthe mawonekedwe. "Nditadzuka ndinangokhala ngati, 'Iwe uli pano. Gwiritsani ntchito bwino. Ndani amasamala ngati simungathe kuchita, ingopindulani ndi zomwe zikuchitika pakalipano, "akutero. (PS: Izi Zida Zapamwamba Zapamwamba ndi Zida Zogwirira Ntchito Zili Zabwino AF.)

Kuyambira nthawi imeneyo, onse awiri adaphulika kudzera munthawi yomwe akuyerekezera ndipo adapezeka pachimake chomaliza-Mauna Kea ku Hawaii-atatsala ndi masiku pafupifupi 10. Miller ndi Arnot adakwera nyengo yozizira, yozizira mpaka pamwamba pa nsonga ya 13,796 yazunguliridwa ndi mitambo. Ndi abale ndi abwenzi atawazungulira, onsewa adakumbatirana, kulira, ndi kuseka pazoyeserera zawo zosiyanasiyana pakukonza choyimilira paphiri lililonse - kapena kupangitsa kuti izioneka bwino ku Insta. (Ma celebs awa amadziwa chinthu chimodzi kapena ziwiri zakumenya misewu ndikuwonetsetsa kuti ikuwoneka bwino pochita izi.) Kenako Miller adakondwerera kukwera kwawo chimodzimodzi momwe adakhalira pachimake chilichonse: Kuyimba nyimbo yolimbikitsa ya Nthano Yadziko. Pomaliza, Arnot ndi Miller adakhala chete kuti alowerere mu zomwe zidangochitika kumene: Miller adalemba mbiri yatsopano yapadziko lonse lapansi, akukwera nsonga za 50 m'masiku 41, maola 16, ndi mphindi 10 - masiku awiri mwachangu kuposa yemwe adalemba kale.

"Zonsezi zinali zovuta kwenikweni, koma inali gawo lozizira - tinayenda njira yovuta," akutero a Miller. "Tidachita zonse mokwanira ndipo sitinadutse chilichonse."

Tsopano, pambali pa kutsogolera, Arnot ali pa ntchito yolangiza mbadwo wotsatira wa okwera akazi. "Maloto anga ndikupanga dongosolo lomwe atsikana achichepere amatha kuwona anthu amphamvu omwe akugwira ntchito m'malo omwe mwina akufuna kugwira nawo ntchito ndikukhala ndi zokumana nazo zapamodzi ndi azimayiwa," akutero. "Ndipo ndikufuna kuti awone kuti ndife anthu wamba. Ine sindine aliyense wapamwamba kwambiri, ndimasokoneza nthawi zonse, koma ndichifukwa chake izi zimagwira ntchito - ndimangofanana nawo kotero kuti athe kudziona okha mu nsapato zanga. "

Ponena za Miller, amayang'ana kwambiri kumaliza koleji. Pambuyo pake, ndani akudziwa - atha kukhala akutsogolera kukwera maulendo ngati Arnot kapena kukhala ndi mbiri yotsatira yadziko lapansi.
