具体描述

The life and death-defying feats of Alex Honnold, a visionary climber of the sort that comes along only once in a generation.Only a few years ago, Alex Honnold was little known beyond a small circle of hardcore climbers. Today, at the age of thirty, he is probably the most famous adventure athlete in the world. In that short time, he has proven his expertise in many styles of climbing and has shattered speed records, pioneered routes, and won awards within each discipline. More spectacularly still, he has pushed the most extreme and dangerous form of climbing far beyond the limits of what anyone thought was possible.Free soloing, Honnold’s specialty, is a type of climbing performed without a rope, a partner, or hardware—such as pitons, nuts, or cams—for aid or protection. The results of climbing this way are breathtaking, but the stakes are ultimate: if you fall, you die.In Alone on the Wall, Honnold recounts the seven most astonishing climbing achievements so far in his meteoric and still-evolving career. He narrates the drama of each climb, along with reflective passages that illuminate the inner workings of his highly perceptive and discerning mind. We share in the jitters and excitements he feels waking in his van (where he lives full time) before a climb; we see him self-criticize in his climbing journal (a veritable bible for students of the sport); and we learn his secrets to managing fear—his most enviable talent. Veteran climber and award-winning author David Roberts writes part of each chapter in his own voice, and he calls on other climbers and the sport’s storied past to put Alex's tremendous accomplishments in perspective.Whenever Honnold speaks in public, he is asked the same two questions: "Aren't you afraid you're going to die?" and "Why do you do this?" Alone on the Wall takes us around the world and through the highs and lows in the life of a climbing superstar to answer those fascinating questions. Honnold's extraordinary life, and his idiosyncratic worldview, have much to teach us about risk, reward, and the ability to maintain a singular focus, even in the face of extreme danger.

比起现实生活中的太多无可奈何与迫不得已,攀登很多时候都是受自己内心驱使的,这大概是我们喜爱攀登喜爱户外的一个重要因素。Alex是一个很特别的climber,强大的内心,超强的耐力和认线能力,和其他很多顶尖攀岩者都不大一样,但是所有顶尖高手都同样的,是他们push自己的能力以及对突破的追求。对climber来说,这本是真的很振奋人心,看了之后忍不住看了很多Alex的纪录片,也会畅想一下自己什么时候能去Yosemite爬个大岩壁。

评分

Alex真的是很幽默,虽然他说自己很内向。他的幽默能通过文字传达出来,让我看书的过程中数次笑出声来。他的独特不仅在于他的才华天赋,也在于他的性格和智商。能感觉出来他是一个非常聪明的人,知道自己要什么,也能吃苦。全书让我最震惊的一点是,在他驻扎在某些地方等待好天气的时候,除了必要的锻炼,他会去看关于那个国家地区的历史文化书籍,了解那个地方。对爱读书的人我很有好感,对于对这个世界抱着谦虚态度学习了解的人,我更是尊敬。Total respect. 很开心我的书上有他的签名,以及Climb high.

评分

Alex很清晰的心路历程,为什么要攀岩,为什么要free solo,以及一次次旅程的详细经过。其实就是投入自己所喜爱的事情而已,没有也不需要太多复杂的意义。也了解了一些climbing的技术,以及似乎是我看我的第一本英文书。

评分

羡慕嫉妒恨这样的纯粹,活出自我,不妥协
