In the first year of graduation, the company's autumn summary meeting, after the meeting, I went to the city hall to play, and played rock climbing for the first time. I remember that the coach gave me a lot of skills before I went up, but he didn't teach me how to get down. At that time, I thought it might be troublesome to teach below, and the coach could explain it after seeing the actual situation above. The 10-meter stone wall, I climbed it quickly for the first time. After all, I often climbed over the wall and climbed trees when I was a child. The point is here. After reaching the summit, I asked the coach how I came down. I:? ? ? People who have never played rock climbing, or we ordinary people, rarely have this situation: someone asks you to freely fall at a height of 10 meters. Although it is guaranteed by a safety rope, the psychological process is difficult to break through. I hesitated for a long time at the top, wanting to let go, but when I looked at my feet, I was still scared. Even though my reason tells me that I have no grudge against the coach and that he can't murder me, after all, everyone is afraid. Hanging on the top for a while, my heart sank, and the laborers closed their eyes and stepped on their feet, and the result was... ...... The result was of course safe. In fact, this experience is not so exciting and adventurous, but the only thing I remember clearly is because, the moment I loosened the rope from a height of 10, my mood seemed to open up a little, and the feeling was very ~ amazing

    Most of the space is in the pre-filming preparation, Alex's training and the arrangement of the film crew, up and down El Capitan over and over again, the daily life of a straight man with low EQ, every time I take a pot to eat, the audience laughs The voice, as well as his girlfriend's incomprehension and ideological struggle, fully demonstrated Alex's life. I think he really regards climbing as a belief. I don’t agree with many people criticizing him for disregarding his girlfriend’s feelings. To do this kind of challenge to the limit, he must have a very persistent self. dangerous. Although the process of reaching the summit lasted only ten minutes, it was still super shocking. Alex smiled proudly at the camera after climbing the two hardest segments. All the conversations were super straightforward, and he felt like a child who had not grown up. .

    The name Free Solo is really good. In my opinion, such an extreme challenge should really be lonely and lonely, and even no one should pay attention. After a long time and space journey, come to the top of the mountain and enjoy the extreme freedom. Too bad the movie didn't come out.
