China’s first woman to climb Mount Everest without oxygen: “Always prepared” for mountain climbing. There are 14 8,000-meter peaks in the world, but for He Jing, a Shaanxi native, there is only one Shishapangma peak ahead of her.
Anaerobic climbing means climbing without the use of supplemental oxygen. Climbing to the top without oxygen is a great challenge to the body and mind. He Jing said frankly that climbing is a process of understanding oneself, tolerating oneself, and thereby breaking through oneself.
