after watching

After watching the documentary about Alex Honnold climbing up the EI Capitan with no protection, I was deeply astounded by his strength.

To begin with, I guess he would protect himself before climbing, but he didn't do that. Among the process of the testing climb, he experienced lots of blocks, like circumstances, time, relationships, etc. Through numerous practices, he finished a thick dairy about the trails of EI Captain. He must remember all of the details to protect himself from dropping down. He is a super climber. He made his dream come true, and become the first person to climb the EI Captain successfully. For me, the most impressive action about him is not the outcome of the climb, but his diligence. He keeps doing exercise when he got the goal. It inspired me a lot and I will learn from this kind of spirit to continue my work.

Lastly, I wanna say nothing could cut the road when the human subdues his fears.

  • Alex Honnold: The big challenge is controlling your mind, I guess. Because you're not, you're not controlling your fear, you're sort of just trying to step outside of it.

  • Alex Honnold: I try to expand my comfort zone by practicing the moves over and over again. I work through the fear, until it's just not scary anymore.
