The tip of the left finger touches the rough and jerky rock particles, and through the thin anti-skid powder particles, one can faintly feel the water vapor penetrating from the surface of the stone; the right hand concentrates on the gap between the rocks, the narrow gap only allows The finger part went in, adjusted the angle a little, found the best position, then tried a few times, and finally put the finger in; at this time, both feet stepped on the bulge of a cliff, saying that it was a bulge, but in fact Only one finger is wide, and the toes exert force through the underside of the thin shoe to keep the center of gravity steady.
The scorching sun above the head is unscrupulously releasing energy, the whole sky is illuminated translucent, the hot air seems to become thick and turbid; the sweat on the back has been completely soaked by the clothes, and the sweat from the forehead drips into it. eyes, but no time to wipe; a gust of wind whistled through the canyon, and the narrow passage made the wind stronger, not only did not feel the heat, but also felt the slightest cold, goosebumps on the arms came out.
Hot and cold, swaying and steady, sweat and shivering… Paradoxically and harmoniously blended into one, as if you could clearly hear the conversation between nature and your own fingertips.
Take a deep breath, use the tips of your right fingers inwards, focus on the forearm to the forearm and then the shoulders, the center of gravity sinks, the toes suddenly exert force, and the whole person jumps up lightly; the left hand stretches diagonally upwards and grabs a fist A large and small rock bulged, but due to the excessive force, the estimated orientation deviates from some expectations, and the fingertips slid across the rough rock surface, and before even feeling pain, the left hand firmly grasped the bulge; Stepping on the surface of the cliff below, a burst of sand particles fell down, feeling that the soles of the feet slipped a little, and it seemed that the center of gravity could not be stepped on.
At the critical moment, the strength of both hands fully exploded, pulling the body to do a pull-up arm-pulling action, forcibly pulling the falling body up, and then lifting the bottom of the back foot a little, stepping on it directly. The wall, the top of the knee almost hit the stomach, but the muscles that were in absolute tightness narrowly avoided it, but as expected, the soles of the feet did not step on the support and began to slide down, but he lifted more than originally planned. A little higher, the friction of the feet sliding down eased the downward trend, the thin soles could hardly feel it, the toes groped calmly, and finally stopped the downward momentum before the body was fully straightened, finally is stabilized.
"Hu, hu..." He took two deep breaths, letting the boiling blood calm down a little.
The burst of adrenaline leaves the brain completely blank, and there is no time to think at all. It can only respond by relying on the body's instinct/energy, intuitive guidance and training skills. In just one millisecond, every muscle in the body is moving at high speed. Running, all distractions disappear completely, just focus on this cliff, just focus on the next bump and crevice, just focus on controlling the body, that's all.
Looking down at the bottom of his feet, he is now nearly fifty meters away from the ground. The dizzying height has turned into a bottomless abyss in the turbulent water, like an open shark mouth, ready to devour everything at any time. life; but what he felt was the excitement and excitement rushing in his blood, and at this moment, he truly forgot himself.
I don't care who he is, I don't care about the exploration of acting skills, I don't care about the entanglement of nightmares, because at this moment, everything is so real, real living, real breathing, real existence, breathing, heartbeat, blood, sweat... Every detail is real and intoxicating. What does it matter if he is Renly or Paul? The important thing is that at this moment, he can clearly touch the particles of the rock, feel the raging sound of the wind, and breathe the air mixed with the smell of water vapor and moss.
The smile on the corner of his mouth was involuntarily drawn. He wanted to shout freely to vent all the turbid air in his chest. However, when he raised his head and saw the distance above his head, he was less than twenty meters away from the top of the cliff. The distance is now, and you can vaguely see the middle-aged man sitting on the edge of the cliff with his legs hanging. The sound of the wind brings the sound of humming folk songs intermittently. It is comfortable and leisurely, and the world seems to be at his feet.
The excitement returned to the blood, and he concentrated again. He grabbed his left hand tightly, and put his right hand into the pocket behind his waist and grabbed the anti-slip powder. The sweat on his palms and fingertips disappeared immediately, and then he slowly followed the crack just now. Slowly groping upwards, constantly trying the incision, trying to find a suitable position for the fingers to exert force.

The cliffs in this piece are very gentle, and there are hardly too many raised stones. Most of them are sand and gravel. Not only are there no leverage points, but the sand and stones are too loose and slippery, so it is very dangerous. Fortunately, this crack in the side provides a leverage point, but caution is required.
The right hand is fully stretched out, and the elbow is slightly bent, leaving a little space for exertion. After confirming the position, I start to look for the leverage point of the left hand. However, after searching over and over again, the smooth walls made him unsuccessful. There were quite a few bumps on the small stones, but it was too difficult for even the toes to borrow, let alone the fingers.
After patiently searching for several times and confirming that there is no other way, he took a deep breath to calm down his impetuous mood a little. Obviously, he is still inexperienced. In the process of coming up, he chose a wrong road, or a difficult road, but this is also one of the charms of freehand rock climbing. All the unknowns are waiting for his own exploration. Only then can we understand the original appearance of nature.
Immediately, he decided to continue climbing along this gap, which made strict demands on the center of gravity and balance, but was the only way to the top of the cliff.
The left hand also began to repeat the work of the right hand, and after careful exploration, finally found a stable position under the right hand. Since both hands are placed together, this puts forward higher requirements for exertion, so it cannot be too greedy. Go forward a little at a time and keep going up steadily.
The left hand oozes out some sweat, put it in the pocket and twisted the anti-slip powder, and then squeezed the palm of the hand, and re-tucked it into the gap. After confirming the force point of the two hands, the hands violently exerted force, and the whole person vacated again. I got up, but this time my feet did not rush to leave the wall, but climbed up bit by bit on the gravel. After Dantian lifted his breath, he felt the state of being as light as a swallow, which he thought was impossible. task, he still managed to take a big step forward again.
There was no time to rejoice, so he put his right hand into his pocket and grabbed the anti-slip powder again, repeating the action just now, but the boring process made the nerves completely tense.
The raging wind roared through his arms, chest, and between his legs, as if he could be blown away at any time, and then smashed to the ground; Strength grabbed a gap to control his body, and the gravel under the soles of his feet kept loosening and falling; the sound of the roaring waves and the shrill hawks chirping more and more reflected the silence and emptiness of nature, he knew that there were companions below and above, But at this moment, it's a one-man battle.
dull? He is not boring at all, he has completely entered a state of ecstasy, all his complicated thoughts are insignificant, and only the mirror-smooth cliff in front of him is left.
Breathe in, lift up, take off.
He climbed up again, but at this moment, the crevice rock grasped by his left hand suddenly made a crisp sound. Before he could react, his left hand grabbed a piece of gravel and loosened it. The force reached the extreme, the left hand flew backward along the inertia, the fingertips of the right hand could feel the huge impact force, the fingertips exerted force, and the falling body paused for a while, and the shoulders could feel the force. The violent gravity was pulling, and his feet quickly started to step on the wall and use friction to stop, but in the ever-changing situation, the toes let out a little bit of energy, and the brain immediately realized that he had miscalculated the sense of space, and a gust of wind blew, He was less than a hair away from the wall, and then his toes exerted force, and as a result... he stepped on the air.
call.
The whole person fell suddenly, the strong pulling force of gravity could not stop at all, and then the right fingertip felt a huge tearing pain, even so, it still could not be pulled, because the space for force had been lost, so The whole person just... fell down.
The power of the free fall made the heart rush up suddenly, slammed into the chest cavity, and then the rope around the waist was pulled up fiercely, which strongly stopped the momentum of continuing to fall, and the surging force almost He was about to break his body by the waist, his internal organs were tumbling, his stomach was tightly restrained, and the tumbling acid water was about to be spit out.
The safety rope saved his life, but if it was real free climbing, he would be dead here today. This is much worse than Paul's situation in "Buried Alive", he didn't even have time to be afraid, it was over, let alone lying there in remorse, fear, fear and despair. Whether it is Paul or Renly, at this moment, he should be thankful: he is still alive, and he is qualified to regret, challenge, and collide.
He just relaxed his limbs and hung in the air, without rushing to regain control of his body, let the gravity pull his limbs down, all his strength was removed, and blood began to flow to his brain. He thought it was a little funny, so he laughed out loud.
"Man, are you alright?"
There was a concerned voice not far away, and Renly made an "OK" gesture, "It's okay, I don't want to die yet, so the protection measures are in place."
The self-deprecating words made the other party laugh heavily, and then, Renly grabbed the rope again with both hands, took back control of his body, and swayed gently. Grab the support point with your hands and stabilize your body.
At this time, he had time to look at his partner who was also climbing. However, it was not the middle-aged man just now, but a guy about the same age as Renly. "Hall?" The other party exclaimed first.
