Freehand rock climbing 1 review
Flowing clouds, steep cliffs. A little red dot crawled through the cracks. Zooming in, a young man is trying to complete the freestyle climbing path with the highest difficulty coefficient in human history. Without rope protection or even helmet protection, his safety guarantee is only a pair of hands covered with white powder, and his life and death are within a millimeter. It was not until the moment he reached the top that a hanging heart finally fell.
Without music and special effects, one shot is enough to make people shudder. This is the magic of the documentary "Freehand Rock Climbing". These 90 minutes made me highly nervous, and I was deeply shocked by human courage and endurance. But what is really special about this documentary is that it gives me a new understanding of the word "fear".
"Fear" has been regarded as the root of evil since ancient times. Shen Zeng, a poet in China in the Qing Dynasty, said: "It is not enough to have courage." Seneca, an ancient Roman politician, wrote in Medea: "Fate is afraid of brave people and only bullies cowards." From this point of view, the most shameful instinct of human beings is fear. But is this really the case? I don't think so. ? Using fear, it may become a stepping stone to our success.
Before using fear, we should learn to face it instead of avoiding it. From the physiological point of view, fear is an innate self-defense means of human body. People who have no fear will ignore danger, so they are in danger. Therefore, there is no need to be ashamed of being afraid. As Alex, the world's number one climber, said, "I face fear in a different way from others." I gain experience and happiness by overcoming fear once and for all! "
Only by conquering fear again and again can people get the purest happiness. Overcoming fear means breaking through oneself, and human beings make progress by breaking through themselves again and again. In other words, fear is a necessity for human beings. Without fear, human development will stagnate. Maybe that's why even the bravest people have fear!
If you learn to face fear, you must master it and use it. Fear can accumulate people's inner potential and make us achieve greater self. Alex said to his rock climbing career: "fear is that I 100% concentrate on what I am doing." I can do nothing when climbing the mountain, which also avoids accidents. "
When climbing the extremely difficult Emirates Rock, Alex needs to complete many difficult movements, which is a great test of his physical fitness and endurance. All these movements, in his dozens of rope exercises, have never been successful at the same time. In the final freehand climbing, he completed all these movements without any mistakes and climbed to the top of Emirates Rock. I believe this is not just luck or coincidence. It is precisely because of his fear of death and awe of nature at this time. All these fears forced his body to reach the limit of human beings and finally succeeded.
His achievements are beyond my reach But in contrast to you and me, fear seems to have been silently helping us. Because I am afraid of falling behind, I work hard to make progress. Because of the fear of death, people cherish life more and make life more colorful. So, do you still think fear is evil?
"Freehand climbing" brings us not only sensory stimulation, but also spiritual shock, and also teaches us how to treat fear, turn fear into power, and turn awe into power. Don't let fear limit your life, face it, overcome it, use it and reach the peak of success!
Freehand climbing review ii
This is not a life that ordinary people can have. Work is rock climbing, and life is also rock climbing. However, he became a great god in rock climbing, achieved financial freedom by climbing, and even funded the establishment of a foundation to engage in public welfare undertakings. The real winner in life.
This kind of winner in life is really something that ordinary people can do. Climbing without protection, without any equipment and protective measures, climbing the steepest rock wall in the world only by hands and feet. Success, one step to heaven; Defeat, fall into death! What is the essence of unprotected freehand climbing? I think it is the courage to face death, and it is the process of defeating death with tenacious will, exquisite skills and abundant physical strength.
What kind of person can lead such a life? The answer can be found in this year's Oscar-winning documentary "Rock Climbing with Hands". The film recorded the process of Alex climbing Emirates Rock with his bare hands. He was also the first person in the world to climb Emirates Rock without protection.
After watching the movie, I want to say that Alex is a man, not a god, although he has accomplished what ordinary people can't.
Alex's growth process is flawed, and his personality is not perfect. Alex was withdrawn and introverted when he was a child, and his father took him rock climbing. Being ashamed to associate with others, Alex had to go climbing alone, and then he went further and further on the road of unprotected climbing. It can be said that his personality defect made him focus on rock climbing, and his focus on rock climbing contributed to his success.
Alex's mother is a perfectionist, and her mother's spirit of pursuing perfection has also been inherited by Alex. It is the desire for perfection that drives him to challenge one peak after another.
Alex's success is influenced by his parents, but his firm and tenacious will is the most critical factor for his success. Emirates Rock is a giant granite with a vertical height of over 900 meters. Alex's climbing process lasted 3 hours and 56 minutes. Imagine how he can persist without a firm and tenacious will.
Summarize several elements of Alex's success, that is, concentration, pursuit of perfection and determination. Being able to do these things may not be as good as Alex's achievements, but we should all gain something in our respective fields. I think this is also the idea that the film wants to convey to the audience.

After watching freehand rock climbing, I have a lot of feelings.
This film is about Alex climbing Emirates Rock with his bare hands. Every minute he climbed with his bare hands, I was afraid that he would fall. When he climbed to the top of the mountain, my heart couldn't help cheering for him.
Emirates Rock is a very high and flat mountain. Many climbers climbed it, but they all died on the road. Alex has climbed more than 40 times. I admire his perseverance in conquering mountains. How many people can climb more than 40 times?
But when I watched the movie, I thought: Why do you want to do such a difficult thing? Many climbers died as a result. Finally understand? It turned out to be because of love and faith.
Climbing Emirates Rock is Alex's lifelong belief, and love is his motivation. This movie is not only about rock climbing, but also enlightens people that there is love only when there is faith, and there is love only when there is pursuit.
Many people may have a love for things like Alex at first, but gradually, they lost their initial love for various reasons in the years. Of course, this thing will definitely not succeed. Because you don't persist, your love for many things soon disappears, so you always fail. After failure, they always complain and lament, but they don't think of the real reason. That's because of themselves, because they don't love and insist enough. On the other hand, they always have the courage to stick it out and always love one thing, just like rock climbers, so they finally succeeded. There are two kinds of people in the world, losers and winners.
Being in love is simple, but it is difficult to persist, and few people insist. In a short life, having faith, love and persistence is the most wonderful life.

In this year's Hollywood winners list, there is a very interesting documentary. As a very small sport, freehand rock climbing must be very popular on the Hollywood awards stage. In my opinion, the master's successful methodology is still traceable, which is worth our deep thinking.
This documentary, with a total length of 65,438+000 minutes, tells the story of 33-year-old climber AlexHonnold (hereinafter referred to as Alex) climbing Emirates Rock with his bare hands in June 1965, 438+0000. Emirates Rock is one of the most iconic rock walls in the world, located in Yosemite National Park, USA. It looks almost like a granite stone wall without vegetation. Alex's experience is worth recording, because he has been climbing with his bare hands without using ropes to protect him, only one person, a pair of hiking shoes and a magnesium powder bag.
You know, even professional climbers, it is very difficult to climb the Emirates Rock under the protection of safety ropes. Climbing for four or five days is the master level. At the end of the documentary, some climbers challenged to climb Emirates Rock, but they couldn't climb halfway. It can be said that climbing Emirates Rock with bare hands is no less difficult than landing on the moon, a small mistake or an accident (such as a hand slip or a bird coming), and Alex completed the whole climb with bare hands in less than four hours.
In my opinion, Alex's successful rock climbing has many experiences worth thinking about and learning. First of all, be firm in thinking and be well prepared. Alex has had the idea of climbing Emirates Rock with his bare hands for about eight years. He has prepared for this climb for two years. Even in his spare time, Alex often hangs on the edge of his RV door for more than an hour. In the process of preparing for climbing, he refined every step into details, and the climbing process was broken down into 1000 steps. Every time he comes back from climbing the mountain, he carefully records his research memory in his notebook. Before climbing without ropes, Alex will practice the route again and again under the protection of ropes until he knows every detail. Secondly, the body has been extremely adapted to rock climbing during the practice. There is a passage in the documentary about Alex going to the hospital to check whether his brain is abnormal. The test results show that due to long-term rock climbing practice, the general stimulation has no effect on him. He is not afraid of high altitude, needs a lot of stimulation to increase hormone secretion, and feels anxious and fearful. His muscle structure and finger tendon thickness are also extremely suitable for climbing in climbing practice. Finally, meditation-style inner training. In many sports, we see people practicing repeatedly in their hearts (including Michael Jordan's inner basketball shooting practice). If there are any flaws in the process of continuous practice in their hearts, they will go back and start practicing again until they finish the action in their hearts without any pause.
The biggest risk and charm of freehand rock climbing lies in uncertainty. The best freehand climber in the world will end up in Born to Die. In the movie, Alex heard a senior fall off a cliff and said with a straight face. He must have thought that this would happen in the future. His method is worth learning, but I don't think I can afford to lose the game.

People who behave differently from ordinary people must have different ideas. In other words, a person must have his own thoughts and values.
Have your own ideas and stick to them when you know that you are different from most people. Such people are either crazy or genius. Anyway, the gap between the two is also very small.
In my opinion, Alex, the hero of freehand rock climbing, is a madman and a genius. I define him like this, and define the influence he brings to me.
His cognition of "death" is that that day will come sooner or later, and rock climbing just makes that day come earlier.
That is, a person with a good sense of death can overcome the ultimate fear and gain great joy. Alex climbs with his bare hands, challenges the mountain peak, and will be buried in the valley if he is not careful.
But it is precisely because of this serious consequence that we should try our best to prepare for every detail before taking action (challenging Emirates Rock with bare hands) to reduce the possibility of the incident. The probability is low and the consequences are serious. This is a truly rational attitude.
Why do you have to do something that is so dangerous or may hurt yourself?
You know, some things don't depend on your brain, reason and thinking, but their sound points come from your heart and emotions.
Generally speaking, people are irrational. Rationality is a very useful tool only in the operation and implementation after decision-making. It has a great influence on making decisions.
All intellectual things come from past experience. The known cannot cope with the unknown, and the past cannot measure the future. This is the upper limit of intelligence.
In the process of climbing, Alex experienced the feeling of a person. Thought, action and feeling are integrated.
The feeling of unity and the ultimate enjoyment.
Free solo, in my opinion, Alex's successful summit is almost certain. He has a strong desire to reach the top. He carefully surveyed and designed every appropriate action in the operation, and was fully prepared in diet and physical strength. He has successfully eliminated the interference from the photographer and his girlfriend psychologically, listened to his inner call and chose the departure time. Weather, location, people.
The outcome of the summit is inevitable.
To outsiders, Alex has accomplished a great task. People who don't know the details will naturally have a lot of projection, imagination and brain tonic.
A few years ago, I saw a photo of a man standing on the edge of a cliff. To my surprise, I saw this picture again in the movie. At this time, I know that the person in the picture is him.
It turns out that fate was planted a few years ago.
