The life and death-defying feats of Alex Honnold, a visionary climber of the sort that comes along only once in a generation.Only a few years ago, Alex Honnold was little known beyond a small circle of hardcore climbers. Today, at the age of thirty, he is probably the most famous adventure athlete in the world. In that short time, he has proven his expertise in many styles of climbing and has shattered speed records, pioneered routes, and won awards within each discipline. More spectacularly still, he has pushed the most extreme and dangerous form of climbing far beyond the limits of what anyone thought was possible.Free soloing, Honnold’s specialty, is a type of climbing performed without a rope, a partner, or hardware—such as pitons, nuts, or cams—for aid or protection. The results of climbing this way are breathtaking, but the stakes are ultimate: if you fall, you die.In Alone on the Wall, Honnold recounts the seven most astonishing climbing achievements so far in his meteoric and still-evolving career. He narrates the drama of each climb, along with reflective passages that illuminate the inner workings of his highly perceptive and discerning mind. We share in the jitters and excitements he feels waking in his van (where he lives full time) before a climb; we see him self-criticize in his climbing journal (a veritable bible for students of the sport); and we learn his secrets to managing fear—his most enviable talent. Veteran climber and award-winning author David Roberts writes part of each chapter in his own voice, and he calls on other climbers and the sport’s storied past to put Alex's tremendous accomplishments in perspective.Whenever Honnold speaks in public, he is asked the same two questions: "Aren't you afraid you're going to die?" and "Why do you do this?" Alone on the Wall takes us around the world and through the highs and lows in the life of a climbing superstar to answer those fascinating questions. Honnold's extraordinary life, and his idiosyncratic worldview, have much to teach us about risk, reward, and the ability to maintain a singular focus, even in the face of extreme danger.
ALEX HONNOLD is a world-class American rock climber best known for his free solo ascents of big walls.
DAVID ROBERTS is the author of, most recently, The Lost World of the Old Ones, among twenty-six books about mountaineering, exploration, adventure, and Western history and anthropology.
THIS BOOK HAS MADE MY YEAR. TIME TO TRAIN FOR FREE SOLOING.
评分Alex很清晰的心路历程,为什么要攀岩,为什么要free solo,以及一次次旅程的详细经过。其实就是投入自己所喜爱的事情而已,没有也不需要太多复杂的意义。也了解了一些climbing的技术,以及似乎是我看我的第一本英文书。
评分Alex真的是很幽默,虽然他说自己很内向。他的幽默能通过文字传达出来,让我看书的过程中数次笑出声来。他的独特不仅在于他的才华天赋,也在于他的性格和智商。能感觉出来他是一个非常聪明的人,知道自己要什么,也能吃苦。全书让我最震惊的一点是,在他驻扎在某些地方等待好天气的时候,除了必要的锻炼,他会去看关于那个国家地区的历史文化书籍,了解那个地方。对爱读书的人我很有好感,对于对这个世界抱着谦虚态度学习了解的人,我更是尊敬。Total respect. 很开心我的书上有他的签名,以及Climb high.
评分A visionary man.
