Friends who are curious about rock climbing can use "Free Solo" as an introductory class for jumping. A very detailed explanation, explaining the relationship between man and nature in place. To a certain extent, it stimulates the audience's yearning for adventure, and sets off the bedding of the sleepy lay flat: MOVE YOUR ASS!
To quote a conversation from an off-screen talk show:
Alex:
“I think there's a root of anxiety, like modern life, things trigger fight or flight that shouldn't necessarily.
It's like stress at work and your boss or whatever and it triggers the same thing.
It's true that in my life the things trigger fight and flight are like legitimate life or death sorts of situations where it's like oh you know you are about to fall off a cliff, or like the storm is coming and you're out in the middle of nowhere, and you're like ' I'm about to get worked! '
Typically, when I feel that kind of major anxiety it's like for a real reason, it's interesting. I mean it is appropriate that way. It's like the correct outlet for that kind of stress. ”
host:
“It really does completely make sense. And also most of guys that I've met that do what you do…well I don't know if I've met anybody that does exactly what you do but guys that climb a lot they' re pretty chill.”
Alex:
"Yeah I think part of that is because you get worked by nature so often that then when you're in sort of normal life everything feels pretty relaxed because you're kind of "oh I'm physically comfortable, I'm fed, I'm hydrated, my body is fine, I'm not about to just get hammered by nature."
The causes of tension and anxiety that urban life brings to us are nothing compared to the most direct domestication of nature. Go! Climb a mountain with your bare hands, rediscover your body, rediscover yourself. Maybe after this, you will forget the past and focus more on the future.
Rock climbing activates every muscle in your body, and you'll be surprised how many muscles you've never used, in certain situations, can save your life. The potential of the human body is unlimited, and the athletic ability can be extended to a certain extent, and it can even assist in the advancement of thinking.
Like Alex's amygdala, it can be tolerated when stimulated; long-term immersion in pain makes it easier to obtain happiness; in the face of danger for a long time, you can quickly eliminate fear; when you compress your desire to 1, you can follow the trend , the rest are just flavorings along the way.
Two other things stood out from the interview:
Once, he traveled with a National Geographic team to Auyán Tepui in Venezuela to study frogs. Auyán Tepui is home to Angel falls, the highest waterfall in the world. It has an unusually flat top and rises straight from the ground like a sliced cake. Due to years of separation, the top of the mountain is completely different from the ground. It is located in South America, but has Africa Landform features: the soil on the surface has been washed clean by the uninterrupted rains of the past 40 million years, forming an absolute wetland, and various plants simply grow directly on the rocks, densely packed, eating each other, forming a peculiar ecological circle;
Once, he was hiking in a snowy day in Las Vegas, surveying the terrain for the next rock climb. This was supposed to be a relaxing day, but he couldn't see anything clearly in the storm. The usually clear sandstone was covered with snow, and every step was in danger of stepping on the air. He wanted to go back the same way, but couldn't find the footprints when he came, only the watch barely helped him identify the direction. He rolled and crawled and was soaked all over. He bumped into a cactus several times on the way. He lost consciousness in his frozen hands. He could only use his mouth to pull out part of the cactus thorns that had been stuck in his hands. When he got home safely, he would let his wife take the rest The lower thorns are pulled out.
Go where no one has been before, experience the wind and snow that no one knows about. The courage to taste all kinds of herbs, the joy of looking down from the top, pushes out a little bit in the body, shouting:
"Freedom! Free! Free!"
This is not only the freedom of the body, but also the freedom of the mind. No one can set limits for you, only yourself. Life is movement, only Just do it can understand. Live in the moment, face it, decide, fight, conquer. Humans' cognition of the world is expanded by the feet of explorers. Are you willing to be a member of this brave army?
Never too late.
