Chapter 207: Crazy Extreme Rock Climbing
There are many masters in the sport of freehand rock climbing, and every year there are masters who miss their lives, and it is a fighter in extreme sports. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This extreme sport is extremely dangerous, requiring rock climbing skills and psychological quality, and is listed as the first of the world's top ten most dangerous sports, which is a kind of "exciting but beautiful" extreme sport.
The climb to Angel Falls in Venezuela is threefold.
The first point is that the route is long, with a height of 3,200 feet, which challenges the limits of human endurance and perseverance.
The second point is that the high danger and the lack of protection measures can make Angel Falls climbing a zero percent error, because if there is only one mistake, the end is death.
Thirdly, it is difficult to climb, and the rock walls of Angel Falls in Venezuela are slippery after the rain. And with such a large drop in height, climbers are destined not to know much about such a long route, and can only climb step by step, which can be said to be climbing without knowing anything.
"Angel Falls! Someone is challenging Angel Falls! ”
"Shoot a small video and post it on the Internet!"
"This person's automatic follow-up device is so advanced, how did he do it?"
"You're really out, the drone developed an unmanned system as early as 07, which is similar to an automatic homing missile."
"Huh? It's also too advanced, how did I not know? ”
"There are a lot of wilderness survival columns on the Internet that shoot adventures by yourself, and I don't know if I search for them on the Internet. But I'm more curious, the anchors of the wilderness survival column seem to be Europeans, and I don't remember any strongmen in Asia! ”
"I found it! This is the new anchor who found the "Discovery" column to replace Bell, his name is Du Xiaosheng! Damn, this person is really fierce! 3.4 million people watched it online! ”
……
Just when the local tourists were frantically exchanging information, Du Xiaosheng had already climbed ten meters up quickly at this time.
Climbing from the bottom up is often the easiest, but as Du Xiaosheng, who has the skill of [extreme rock climbing], he is very good at saving physical strength, his climbing state is very stable, with the help of the strong friction of mountaineering shoes, Du Xiaosheng did not use a more stable toe picking shoe method as soon as he came up.
The so-called toe picking method is a climbing technique commonly used by rock climbers.
The main purpose of using this technique is to make the big toe in the shoe against the top of the shoe and not straighten, which will make the shoe tighter, and the grip and stability will increase.
However, Du Xiaosheng does not plan to use this method now, Venezuelan Angel Waterfall is 3,200 feet high, such a height is a great test of physical strength, Du Xiaosheng knows that even if he has a third-level perfect physique, it is impossible for him to stick to the toe picking method throughout the whole process.
This is because if this technique is used for too long, it will cause excessive fatigue in the hamstrings, and eventually lead to cramps in the legs, and the inability to continue climbing.
If you want to climb such a rock wall, the most important thing is to allocate your physical strength properly.
At this moment, Du Xiaosheng stretched out his hand and gently pulled a raised rock upward, and with the help of the support point, he quickly carried out a side-pull diagonal upward and horizontal climbing action.
Through the simple but important climbing action of lateral pulling, Du Xiaosheng greatly saves the strength of his upper limbs.
If you do not pay attention to the use and protection from the beginning, then it is very likely that the arm will lose strength in rock climbing, or the severe pain and swelling will affect the rock climbing performance, and eventually lead to a mistake and fall.
At a distance of fifteen meters, Du Xiaosheng is like a gecko firmly sucked on the wall to walk, his movements are light and agile, looking like a space walk, grasping the fulcrum of the ledge in his right hand, Du Xiaosheng gave a vivid rock climbing lesson to the tourists.
Due to the limitations of physical conditions, people's knees have always bent forward, facing the rock wall, the climber must turn his body sideways to avoid the knee joint against the rock wall, the biggest advantage of this is to be able to get the body closer to the rock wall, and at the same time transfer more body weight to the feet, using the height of the body in order to reach a higher fulcrum.
Everyone knows the theoretical knowledge, but it is still quite difficult to put it into practice.
Du Xiaosheng was holding the ledge with both hands at the moment, his left leg bent and stepped on a lower fulcrum he had just grabbed, while his right leg was holding the balance, using the soles of his climbing shoes to increase friction.
When the left leg was steady, Du Xiaosheng's right hand stretched out and grabbed the next fulcrum, climbing steadily upward.
Pull sideways, use the foot change to turn, and continue to climb up with the pressure of the stepping point.
At the same time, Du Xiaosheng does not mean to only focus on the immediate points.
His eyes were constantly looking upwards for the best places to stay and the best routes to climb.
With each step up, he calculates forward more than a dozen times, and uses the location shown on the virtual map to make macro adjustments to the overall direction of progress!
Extraordinary awareness, accurate prediction, fast climbing skills, everything shows Du Xiaosheng's strong climbing experience and physical strength.
Through the aerial photography of the drone, the picture of Du Xiaosheng climbing up from the frame was perfectly displayed on the official website of Discovery Live.
Drones are not just rigid aerial photography, zooming out the entire waterfall to overlook the shooting. Shooting from top to bottom, medium shot, and various shooting methods are set according to the program, showing the thrill and excitement of the entire rock climbing sport for the audience in an orderly manner.
Shock.
Facing the thousand-meter-high Angel Waterfall, Du Xiaosheng is as small as an ant.
However, in the live broadcast picture, this strong contrast made the audience feel that Du Xiaosheng's back was so majestic!
Around the world, in many extreme climbing clubs and indoor climbing venues, no one is practicing rock climbing in any venue where Du Xiaosheng's climbing process is placed.
Everyone tilted their heads and stared at the TV, projection, and conference screens in the venue, in a daze!
"Damn, what the hell is this still human? Climbed more than 80 meters, right? Not a single step stopped. ”
"Niu Pi Wow, this climbing consciousness is really a strong horse."
"This person must be the world's top climbing expert, Alex Hannold?"
"Definitely...... No, this person's name is Du Xiaosheng, a newly hired wilderness survival expert in the discovery column. ”
"Nima, the cow has exploded. It's the reincarnation of Superman! ”
……
Just when the tourists below Angel Falls and the audience in the live broadcast room were talking, someone suddenly shouted: "Ah! Look, the anchor has climbed next to the bulge! There's no way to climb anymore......"
At noon, the scorching sun hung high, and the shadow cast by the sun on the mountain shrouded Du Xiaosheng!
It was a huge rock jutting out of a cliff, pressing on the top of Du Xiaosheng's head at a vertical and right-angle angle.
All the viewers couldn't help but think, what the hell should we do? Give up?
However, at this moment, Du Xiaosheng suddenly made a strange move, and his hand reached for his backpack.
"Is this to give up the paraglider?" Many viewers were a little puzzled, but when Du Xiaosheng took out his hand again, his hands were already covered with white powder.
"It's magnesium powder used to absorb sweat when climbing! Damn, this anchor is really crazy, and he has to keep climbing up......"
