was deeply shocked by several photos. Is this really the collective idol of our era - boxing champion Tyson ?
On crutches and in a wheelchair - Tyson, a "five-guaranteed household", is 56 years old. At this age, he is still far away from retirement. Workers in various industries in our country are still actively contributing to the construction of the "four modernizations". How can this old Taison do it? It has become the image of a very poor support object ("five-guarantee household").
Whether it is "Parkinson's" Ali or "Five Guaranteed Households" Tyson, the image in his later years makes our weak little hearts flutter uncontrollably. The dangers of boxing can be summarized like this:
The younger ones do boxing, and the older ones do wheelchairs.
Even so, if I say boxing is the most dangerous sport in the world, those who died in parkour , diving, racing , skiing, wingsuit flying , skydiving athletes may still be unable to hold down the coffin board.
So, what is the most dangerous sport in the world?
The safer answer is: Red Bull sponsors all sports.
Red Bull sponsorship: If you dare to risk your life, I dare to pay.
After all, Red Bull has always been the sponsor of extreme sports . Isn't its popular advertising slogan "If you dare to risk your life, I dare to pay"!
Among extreme sports, there is a project called rock climbing, and the most dangerous category of all rock climbing is called freehand rock climbing. There should be no controversy about this.
What is the difference between free solo rock climbing and other rock climbing?
is probably the difference between anti-drug police officers wearing body armor or not, the difference between wearing seat belts at car accident scenes, and the difference between AIDS patients having in-depth conversations with AIDS patients or not wearing condoms.
Do you understand? The fundamental difference between free climbing and other rock climbing is whether there are protective measures.
To be more specific, the general situation is as follows:
Equipment rock climbing: You can use some auxiliary equipment to solve the situation of insufficient manpower. If an extreme situation occurs, there will be protection by equipment and rope ladders. This kind of rock climbing is basically similar to a high-altitude wooden bridge. If there is a god of death, it will just watch you quietly from a distance.

Top-rope rock climbing: There is no auxiliary equipment to use, but there is rope protection. However, due to wear and tear or other reasons, the rope may not be so reliable, and death will be much closer to you. If I encounter a profiteer who passes this off as a good thing, I can only shout "I'll beat your lungs."
"It beats your lungs" - from "Crazy Stone"
Freehand rock climbing: This is the simplest and most terrible, just use nothing, just rely on your hands and feet and a pack of anti-slip powder . When you are climbing with your bare hands, the god of death is lying on your back, whispering in your ear from time to time. Even if you make a very small mistake, you will be fine, blow the trumpet and eat the meal.
Obviously, in rock climbing, there is no doubt that free climbing is the most dangerous and valuable.
Having said that, the protagonist of this article can officially appear.
Alex Honnold, free solo rock climber.
What is so awesome about him?
is fine, but most insurance companies dare not sell insurance to him for fear that he will fall to his death and lose everything.
But every day thousands of people ask him if he is dead, and he dares to say: dead? I pressed Death to the ground and rubbed it.
Alex Honnold: Free solo rock climber
Why can he rub the God of Death?
Let’s take a look at his resume first.
Honnold was born in California in 1985. The person who gave birth to him and raised him, that is, his mother, at the age of 66, also climbed the dream and nightmare of the world's rock climbing enthusiasts - El Capitan, which is the oldest Women's record holds.
mark "El Capitan" and highlight it, which will be tested later.
A dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, and a mouse's son can make holes.
html When Honnold was 05 years old, his parents took him to the rock climbing gym, but this was probably the most regretful thing his parents had ever done in their lives.Think about it, any parent may face the sad news of the death of their son at every moment of the day!
Of course, this is a story for another day.
When he was 10 years old, Honnold fell deeply in love with rock climbing. At the age of 18, he was admitted to the University of California, Berkeley, which is the fourth-ranked university in the world, but he dropped out of school not long after.
why?
There were no rocks for him to climb in school.
If Honnold wants to rock climb, he can only climb the school's bell tower.
Although his face is full of black lines, it seems to make sense. Aren't there many talented people who dropped out of school because of their hobbies?
Until 2017, Honnold came to El Capitan.
What is El Capitan?
It is a holy land for rock climbers. In Yosemite National Park in the United States, El Capitan is the world's largest monolithic granite. The entire stone is 916 meters high and 2,300 meters above sea level.
More than 70 rock climbing routes have been developed on El Capitan, and more than 30 climbers have died here.
El Capitan: The world's largest granite monolith
Honnold's rock climbing route has a difficulty level of 5.12D and a length level of 6. He successfully climbed to the top in 3 hours and 56 minutes.
We can ignore these professional terms. We only need to know that this rock is extremely difficult even for professionals.
Honnold is the first person in the world to climb El Capitan Rock with his bare hands, which is a world feat.
Why?
Because this rock wall has a difficulty level of 5.12D (the most difficult section is 5.13a), even if it is protected by ropes, completing it with bare hands is considered a professional expert. The length level is Level 6, which means that even professional rock climbers will need several days to complete it, but Honnold only took less than 4 hours.
To put it simply, it was a difficult rock wall. Everyone had a good time and set many records. However, Honnold ran over and suddenly used his bare hands to kill everyone. The road to recording is blocked.
How can others play with this?
Honnold, who is climbing El Capitan,
, goes his own way and leaves others with no way to go. Honnold practices this sentence personally.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call Honnold’s rock climbing a world feat.
This climb was also filmed into the documentary " Free Climbing ", which also won the 2018 Academy Award for Best Documentary.
Honnold single-handedly became the "Best Actor" of the documentary.

What I want to say in particular is that this documentary is highly recommended and very beautiful.
As mentioned before, Honnold is the man who pressed Death to the ground and rubbed him.
Not only that, his relationship with the God of Death may be very ambiguous.
A doctor once conducted a stimulation test on Honnold and found that stimulation that was effective for most people had no effect at all on him.
If translated into human words, it would be: If someone else rides a roller coaster and does not move, then they have fainted, but he has fallen asleep.
Only freehand rock climbing, a high-risk operation that embraces death tightly, can bring him satisfaction and pleasure.

Honnold has a withdrawn personality. Because of his deep love for rock climbing, he has lived alone in his RV for a long time, but he is full of happiness.
Where does this sense of happiness come from? It must be the warm companionship of death every time you conquer the rock face.
In other words, if it weren't for high-risk sports and the intense stimulation brought by the embrace of death, would he still be so happy?

The reason why I say this is because I found other evidence.
In an extremely dangerous sport like free-handed rock climbing, Honnold actually had almost no injuries for 7 years. You can easily say it is luck or the favor of death, but with my wisdom, I would say :
This is definitely not luck, but... love, the love of death.
In 2015, Honnold fell in love with the other person named Sonny. Honnold was immersed in the sweetness of love and often took his girlfriend to rock climbing together.

Just rock climbing. What does it mean to bring a woman with him? What will this make the god of death who has been hugging him tightly think?
The God of Death is jealous!
In two months, Honnold, who was almost never injured, fell twice. The fall almost made him join the list of dead men in free climbing. The fall made him want to break up with his girlfriend.
Although his girlfriend later called him back with tenderness, when Honnold made up his mind to challenge El Capitan in 2017, he arranged for his girlfriend to stay elsewhere to temporarily avoid direct contact with the God of Death.
So when Honnold was climbing El Capitan, Death began to accompany him alone. Everything went smoothly during the climb. He even smiled at the camera, only to reach out for his scissor hands.
Isn’t this love?

If you were asked to talk about the most dangerous sport in the world now, I wonder what you would choose?
Although it still cannot be said that free-handed rock climbing is the most dangerous sport in the world. After all, wingsuit flying accounts for nearly half of the casualty rate, there seems to be nothing wrong with saying that free-handed rock climbing is one of the most dangerous.
The reason why this article introduces Honnold is certainly not to encourage everyone to seek excitement, but to hope that everyone will see more possibilities in life after getting to know this person.
As long as you are interested in something and can bring you happiness, then do it boldly. Persistence will always make even a small thing release a bright light light.
After all, what could be more terrifying than the tight embrace of death. The
pictures come from the Internet, and any infringement must be corrected.
