Wireless rock climbing is a form of rock climbing. It is an extreme outdoor sport, which refers to climbing without any auxiliary tools. Such sports require extremely high requirements for rock climbing skills and is also a great challenge to psychological tests.
free-hand climbing is different from unprotected climbing (Free Solo). More importantly, it emphasizes that only climbing with both hands throughout the whole process and does not use other devices to climb. Therefore, it is extremely dangerous and regarded as the top ten dangerous sports. The climber does not carry any climbing tools and directly fights against the rock walls and the whistling mountain wind.
The protagonist of this documentary Alex Honnold is a famous bare-handed rock climbing maniac in the outdoor circle. The young man was born in 1985. He studied engineering at the University of California, Berkeley. He likes to study Dostoevsky. Although he looks like a skinny monkey, he is actually a world record holder with amazing physical fitness.
In the field of rock climbing, Alex has many legendary experiences. The 2010 documentary "Alone On The Wall" tells the story of his free-hand climbing the Moonlight Arch Wall of Zion National Park in Utah and the Northwest Wall of the Half Dome of Yosemite National Park. This year's new documentary "Rock Climbing" records Alex's newly completed and most ambitious challenge for him personally - conquering the "absolute rock climbing holy land" Chief Rock.
It is worth mentioning that the production team of this documentary is the original cast of the numerous awards in 2015 " Climbing Meru ", directors Elizabeth Vasahie and Kim Kwok-wei, one is a world-renowned documentary producer, the other is a Chinese-American mountaineer and national geographer. I heard that during the shooting of this film, in addition to Kim Kwok-wei, there were eight photographers and rock climbers carrying cameras on their backs and climbing and shooting with the help of ropes. The production cycle of the video is as long as 807 days, which is also very rare. The first shot of
video is shocking to the point where you can’t speak. You can feel it. In front, there are bare rock walls. Below, there is a deep abyss. There is no protection measure on his body, and he cannot see a rope that saves his life. The support surface of the hands and feet is only 2cm, half a thumb is long.
Emeral Rock, a holy place in the hearts of rock climbing enthusiasts around the world, is the world's largest granite monolith. It stands in , Yosemite National Park, California, USA, and is 914 meters high. The "Dawn Wall" of this rock is known for its steepness and danger, and is known as the most difficult route to climb in the world.
Alex has a hardcore royal photographer, Chinese-American, and his Chinese name is Jin Guowei. As a photographer, he is also a rock climber with good skills. So he became Alex's reliable partner and took many out-of-print photos for Alex, with excellent location and excellent angles. This time Alex climbed the Chiefs Rock, he also recorded it with his camera throughout the whole process.
Even such a god must remain highly nervous when deciding to challenge Chieftain Rock. First of all, he must study the entire mountain of Chief Rock carefully and confirm the climbing route. The rest is to keep practicing by scheduling points. Of course, these rehearsal exercises are assisted by equipment, otherwise no matter how big the characters are, they will die. I got to know the
route, and in the end, I just chose a good day. Ensure that the weather temperature, humidity, wind direction and other things are suitable, and the physical condition reaches its peak. After collecting time, place and , we officially went up the mountain. While climbing, Alex encountered a series of dangers. Sometimes, it is a dilemma. If you have to tighten the stone strips with your hands, it will also make your feet and the mountain stick too tightly, making it difficult to continue climbing.Sometimes it's hard to move: in the narrow gap, the panting Alex advances like a worm.
Finally, after going through a lot of hardships, it took 3 hours and 56 minutes in total, and he successfully reached the top!
As an Oscar-winning video, it often gives us a coherent expectation: they make extraordinary choices, but they are the same people as us. In addition to showing the peak of extreme sports and the light of belief in impossible belief, this film also includes many discussions on human nature, love, family affection, and career. The world is so vast that even the walls of the cliffs are hidden in infinite wonders!
I wonder if you are impressed by what Alex did in the film? Everyone is welcome to leave a message at the end of the article.
