There was a silent crowd in front of the Half Dome. They were waiting for Ren He. Ren He also stood there quietly, mentally re-reading the route map he was going to pass.
The vertical cliff of more than 600 meters is also a new challenge for Renhe, not to mention that there are no protection measures for Renhe.
He adjusted his breathing and placed the magnesium powder bag in the most convenient position on his waist. At this time, Ren He was wearing professional rock climbing shoes, which just wrapped the soles of his feet. The special rubber soles of the soles could maximize the increase of the soles of the feet.
The friction between the toes and the rock wall.
With everything ready, Ren He looked up at the cliff in front of him. This was just one of the peaks he would challenge in his life. There was nothing to be afraid of.
He looked back at the silent crowd and smiled, then suddenly raised his right arm, giving a thumbs up just like he did every time he was about to experience life and death!
start!
Everyone was excited and ready to start!
Liu Erbao shouted loudly on the intercom: "Every aircraft is in position, the drone must not affect his challenge, keep a safe distance! Start!"
In fact, in the field of free climbing, there are requirements for the time required to challenge a cliff. This does not mean that a specific amount of time is required to complete the task, but that when challengers compare with each other, two people climb the same mountain with bare hands.
, the shorter the time it takes, the stronger it is. This is something that everyone has already acquiesced to.
However, everyone suddenly discovered that Ren He's figure on this cliff was like a flexible ape! It was too fast!
An Si became anxious at that time: "You don't have a rope to protect you, don't take risks!"
But there was no other sound in Ren He's ears. There was only this cliff in his heart, and he was the only one left in the world!
The tk staff below suddenly discovered that Ren He's free climbing seemed to be very different from others. What was the difference? Some people were thinking hard and couldn't figure it out!
Suddenly someone exclaimed: "Damn it, have you noticed that he doesn't even need to confirm the route? It's like he can determine where his next borrowing point is without using his brain at all!"
When everyone thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case. Ren He's movements at various lever points were unusually coherent, and sometimes he even stretched out his hand without even looking at it. That's why some people discovered this problem.
This is a bit scary, isn’t it? The entire cliff is in his mind?! How is that possible?!
But if you say it’s impossible, the facts are right in front of you, so you can’t help but believe it!
This was their first time watching the Cavaliers' challenge with their own eyes, and it was at this moment that they realized that witnessing it all with their own eyes was much more exciting than what they saw on video!
Everyone's palms were sweating, as if the person climbing up the cliff like a gecko was not the knight but himself.
No one understands why the knight climbs so fast. It is enough to prove himself to the world without protection, so why should he strive for speed?
In fact, what is the fastest record of climbing Half Dome so far in history? With the help of equipment and ropes, 5 days!
Yes, it was just such a distance of 600 meters, which lasted for 5 days. During the middle time, we directly nailed the tent to the rock wall to rest.
But Ren He was not satisfied with this result because he knew that the fastest record in his previous life was 6 hours!
What is the difference between 5 days and 6 hours? The 6-hour record was set by a young man named Honnold, who is a well-deserved master in the world of free climbing.
Why can he be so much faster than others? Because like Ren He, he gave up any ropes and equipment and relied entirely on his own body. Facts have proved that this is the fastest way to conquer the cliff. There is no need to fix the rope or go to the cliff anymore.
Waste no time, this is the most primitive pleasure of conquest!
The world has not yet seen a master like Honnold who subverts the field of free climbing. Ren He could actually climb slowly, but he didn't because he already had Honnold's benchmark in his heart. What he is doing now
Everything is definitely not to prove anything to the world...
An Si looked at Ren He's back at the foot of the mountain and said calmly: "He no longer needs the world to prove anything. He wants to prove to himself that his dream is not wrong."
Yes, what An Si said is exactly what Ren He is thinking. Now that you have embarked on this path, don't dwell on your current achievements, and be the best if you want to do it!
Ren He risked his life to touch the edge of his dream, not just to have the world applaud him. He could give him the applause and flowers himself.
He already had Honnold in his heart, and he knew that there was indeed someone who conquered this cliff without protection within 6 hours. If Ren He deceived himself and said that he could become the number one in the parallel world as long as he had no protection.
As a human being, he was unwilling to give up.
It's because he can't convince himself in his heart. Obviously his physical fitness is better than Honnold's, and he can obviously do it, so why not do it?
Dreams in reality are probably like this: Why don’t I do it?
I can obviously do it too!
Ren He wants to give an explanation for his dream, an explanation that is not meticulous, and an explanation that goes all out!
Just like the moment he took a leap of faith from Mount Everest, he never cared about life or death.
This is a challenge about courage. In fact, it is like this for many people. The meaning of extreme sports is not only the pursuit of limits, but also the courage to actively push yourself into desperate situations in ordinary life.
The staff at tk never thought that Ren He could be so fast, and even Liu Erbao didn't expect that he had prepared countless spare batteries for each device and planned to replace them with new ones as soon as they were used up.
Everyone was prepared for a protracted battle, but in the end, Ren He told him: You don't have to wait too long, I'm going to subvert your common sense.
This feeling is so strange.
Ren He continued to climb upwards, and every time he dug his fingers tightly into the fine rock crevices, he could ignore the empty sky below his feet.
Why has no one dared to challenge this cliff without protection or equipment? Because for a certain distance on the cliff above a few hundred meters, there is only a rock crevice that winds upward diagonally to draw strength.
At this point, the traditional three-point positioning is no longer effective. Rock climbers without equipment can only tighten their fingers on this gap and climb upwards like pull-ups!
It is easy to do pull-ups on a horizontal bar, but tilt the horizontal bar at 70 degrees, and the horizontal bar can be grasped, but only fingers can be inserted into the gap. Ren He still needs to climb up a vertical distance of 6 meters under such conditions, so that
Any other free climbing master would find it incredible.
But Ren He did exactly that!
Everyone knows that this is the most difficult place on the entire cliff. If Ren He can even get over here, then the next route will be no more difficult for him.
Cheers erupted from above and below the cliff at the same time. They could not imagine that Ren He had actually done it!
When Ren He clasped his fingers on the rock crevice and gave up the fulcrum of his feet, he seemed to have handed over his fate to this cliff.
Everyone can see Ren He's muscular arms outside his short sleeves, like steel!
