当朋友委托我给《孤身绝壁》中文版写序时,我根本不知道亚历克斯是谁。对攀岩的认知也仅限于在某个攀岩馆看孩子们爬来爬去,更不知道世界上还有人去做无保护的独攀。 碍于友情,也出于好奇,我看了几段亚历克斯的视频,并听朋友讲了一些亚历克斯的故事,说实话,我被惊着了...
评分有幸读到这本书,其实是要感谢一部纪录片《Free Solo》(《徒手攀岩》)。在看这部纪录片之前,我对攀岩的概念仅仅停留在室内少儿活动以及偶尔在体育频道看到的速攀比赛。一个是恨不得4个家长保护一个孩子,全副武装的一点点往上蹭,好像只要脚离开地,就算成功了。另外一个从...

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.
粉丝读物。Alex Honnold 可能是所有攀岩者里名气最大的一个,上过60分钟,被纽约时报报道过,很多不攀岩的人都知道他。如果你将他视为偶像,也对攀岩有点了解,应该会喜欢这本书。
