Today is the beginning of autumn, and it is raining ticking outside. The humidity in the rainy season in the south is as high as 80%~98%. In the afternoon, I had nothing to do, so I randomly picked a documentary to watch - "Freehand Rock Climbing". I thought I would not particularly like it, after all, I have always been insensitive to extreme sports, but somehow I still watched it. Unexpectedly, I didn't feel bored at all, and I felt a hearty feeling when I watched it in one breath. The main line of the story is particularly simple, as the title says, about how Alex Honnold climbed El Capitan with his bare hands. There are no thrilling and blood-filled plots in the whole process, only Alex Honnold lives a normal day like an ascetic, day after day physical training, vegetarian diet, climbing route planning, and then writing a climbing log, and re-editing Move, adjust, optimize each step until it melts into your own blood. Behind the creation of miracles, it is just the extremely monotonous training and the firm will to achieve the goal. Behind Superman is a willingness to do tedious training and just enjoy it. People who don't want to go through this process, don't complain and live well under the mountain. Freehand rock climbing, there is no back way, one wrong move, and you will be smashed to pieces. How did Alex Honnold overcome his fears? He said expand the comfort zone. Alex Honnold trains, researches, replays, retrains, researches, repeats the process, and unknowingly reaches the top of El Capitan. This is how he expands his comfort zone. Put fear into each specific action. Sitting and thinking, talking, fear spread all over the body, and retreated before it started. Taking steps is the most important and easiest way to reach the top. "Freehand Rock Climbing" tells us a very simple truth. It is great to create miracles, but the methodology is very simple, and there is no need for too many bells and whistles. Alex Honnold is ordinary, but far from ordinary. There are many successful inspirational films, books, and videos on the market that make the audience’s blood boil and are full of chicken blood, but it is still recommended to watch "Freehand Rock Climbing" when you have time, pour out the chicken soup, erase the prosperity and impetuousness, and return to the simple essence of doing things. , and experience the sense of life in it.
