纪录片《只身绝壁》的主角是最优秀的徒手攀岩者——亚历克斯·霍诺德,他只有24岁,首次无保护攀登位于美国加州约塞米蒂國镓公园的半穹顶,那是高达600米的绝壁。
Dubbed the rock star of the climbing world, Alex Honnold travels the world fearlessly scaling cliff faces no man has ever climbed before - without even using a rope.
Alex Honnold被称为攀岩世界中的摇滚巨星,他云游世界各地,攀登上了了许多无人能及的悬崖峭壁,甚至是在不借助绳索的情况下。
With his superhuman agility and impressive upper body strength, the 26-year-old has already been hailed the best climber of his generation.
凭借着其宛若超人般的敏捷身手以及令人印象深刻的上肢力量,这位26岁的小伙子被盛赞为当代最优秀的攀岩者。
His achievements include climbing the iconic north-west face of the Half Dome in America"s Yosemite National Park and tackling the 2,500ft cliffs near to Borneo"s Kota Kinabalu peak.
他的成就包括了攀登上美国约塞米蒂國镓公园的标志性的西北半圆顶,以及爪哇岛的婆罗洲的哥打京那巴鲁峰将近2500英尺的悬崖峭壁。
Mr Honnold made his name at the age of 23, when he free climbed Yosemite"s Half Dome in just two hours and fifty minutes, an ascent which usually takes between one or two days.
Honnold在23岁时声名大振,他轻松地在两小时十五分钟内登上了塞米蒂國镓公园半圆顶,通常这需要一到两天的时间才能完成。
"There is a famous image of me standing on a ledge around 1700 feet up on the Northwest Face of Half Dome," explained Mr Honnold.
Honnold解释道:“我有一张站在1700英尺高的园半圆顶西北面的悬崖上的照片十分的出名。”
"My back is to the cliff wall and below is a sheer drop.
“我的背紧贴着崖壁,脚下是万丈深渊。”
"It is part of the route to the top and has to be traversed by all climbers of Half Dome, with or without rope.
“不管你带不带攀岩绳索,这都是要登上半圆顶峰的人的必经之路。”
"I felt though, that walking across it was cooler.
“我认为,能这样走过去是更酷的一件事。”
"It is around a foot wide at the start, but narrows to six inches by the end.
“峭壁一开始还有一只脚的宽度,到后来就只有六英寸这么狭窄了。”
"By the end, the cliff wall bows out and pushes your back forwards so that you are literally peering over the sheer drop."
“到最后,崖壁会拱起来,并挤推你的背部,而你真的好想就要掉下去了。”
Despite having already made solo free climbs of 10 cliffs during his career, Mr Honnold is modest about the reputation he has earned as a fearless mountain man.
除了在运动生涯中徒手攀登上了10座悬崖峭壁,Honnold作为一个不所畏惧的山地男人赢得了很好的声誉。
"People feel more of a gut reaction when they see me without a rope on the side of a cliff.
“人们看见我在没有绳索帮助的情况下在悬崖峭壁攀登,他们会心里一紧。”
"They put themselves in my position and they imagine how they could or more likely couldn"t do what I am doing."
“他们会把自己放在我的位置上,并且想象可能不敢做我所做的事情。”
After graduating from the climbing walls of his late teens in California to the nomadic lifestyle of an international climber, Mr Honnold claims fear has become irrelevant to him.
从亲少年时期攀岩壁的训练者“毕业之后”,Honnold开始过上了类似于游牧民族般的国际攀岩者的生活,他声称恐惧已经无关紧要了。
"When you are climbing well the fear is not there," he explained.
“在攀登的过程中,你不会考虑"怕不怕"这回事。”
"It is something that you know you can do, something that should pose you no apparent difficulties.
“你知道自己是可以完成的,这并不会给你带来任何的困难。”
My heart lies in Yosemite," he said.
"Climbing round the world is a cultural experience, it is an exploration.
“在世界各地攀岩是一种文化的体验,也是一种探索发现。”
"Some of the faces we climbed in Chad in the Ennedi desert have never been attempted before.
“我们在乍得的恩内迪沙漠中所攀登的悬崖之前从没有人尝试过。”
"That is what climbing is all about."
“这边是攀岩的本质所在。”

迪恩·波特,这个被誉为美国极限攀岩大师的40岁男人近日又有惊人之举。这次他挑战的是位于美国加利福尼亚州优胜美地國镓公园东南边的“冰川之极”,在海拔近2000米的高山岩壁上,波特延续了自己这么多年攀岩的特点徒手,身上没有系任何保护绳或其他保护装置,一路攀登至顶,连拍摄图片的摄影师一度都不敢睁开眼睛看他,“这岩壁简直就是天堂。”波特的话听起来像个疯子说的,但他确实做到了。
“冰川之极”只是波特这么多年攀登过的其中一座山而已。他每一次徒手攀登的难度都令普通人无法想象,其中最辉煌的当数在2002年时攀登上海拔1005米的“酋长峰”,当时,他和他的搭档西恩·拉里还创造了两人结组攀登此峰所用时间最短的世界纪录2小时36分45秒,而一般的攀岩者攀登这个大岩壁往往要耗费一到两天的时间。位于南美洲巴塔哥尼亚國镓公园的瑟拉托里峰也留有波特的足迹,他硬是在这座山峰的东南山脊上开辟了一条2100米长的新路线,此外还完成了2条稍短路线。从此,徒手速攀成了波特的名片。“我练习速攀到现在差不多快10年了。我更愿意把攀岩当成一种艺术,我愿意一直趴在岩壁上。”波特说。不过,酷爱挑战自我的波特并不满足,除了徒手速攀,他开始将注意力转到其他极限运动上。2009年8月,波特穿着滑翔衣,从瑞士艾格峰一跃而下,垂直距离达3000多米,整个过程历时2分50秒,创造了世界上最长距离的极限跳伞纪录。他还是世界高空走扁带第一人,将25毫米宽、3毫米厚的尼龙扁带固定于两个悬崖之间,将万丈深渊置于脚下,行走于峡谷之上,同样没有保持平衡的长棍、没有保护安全的绳索。波特不断创造,并且又一次次打破由他本人所保持的走扁带的世界长度纪录,目前他保持的世界长度纪录为49.8米。 |
