I'd heard about it years ago, it was like the hard mountain route down here, the big, hard multi-pitch that was like the test piece.

我在多年前聽過，它就像困難的由下而上路線到這裡，難且多節距就像試驗一樣。

I mean, it's always just represented the next step in technical climbing to me.

我的意思是，它始終代表著我攀登技巧的另一步。

It might be too scary, but I'm going to put a bunch of work into it and kind of figure out whether or not it's even possible.

這或許太嚇人了，但我要投入一大堆的心力，來確認這是否有真的有可能達成。

It's just kind of weird helping your friend do something that you know could potentially lead to his death.

這種感覺非常奇怪，幫助你的朋友做某件事，但這件事有可能害死他。

Alright. Up day.

好的。攀登之日。

Cleaning the route a little bit, pulling off some of the vegetation, and just sort of sussing it out a little bit.

把路線清一清，剔除掉一些樹枝，然後再稍微確認。

Kept on picturing myself without a rope and then I'd get really scared. [chuckles]

不停地想像自己沒有繩子，然後我非常地害怕。 [笑]

How's the condition of the route currently for soloing?

目前徒手路線的狀況如何?

Quite damp. It's sub optimal.

非常潮濕。不是最佳的。

I mean, all it takes is you grab one small hold and it pops off the wall and you fall to your death, you know.

你知道沒有抓穩從牆壁上彈開，你就會墜落然後死亡。

So when I was cleaning the wall for Alex, I was like I'm cleaning every little things, you know.

在我幫 Alex 清攀岩路線的時候，我就像在清理所有細節的事情。

I was like anything that looked loose or any little piece of dirt I was trying to clean it off the wall,

我試圖清除牆上任何一塊鬆動石塊或是任何的塵土

because I obviously want my buddy to live.

因為我當然希望我的好兄弟可以活著

Do you feel like you're slipping a little?

你覺得你有點滑開了？

It's a bit of a 'thank God' moment, right?

這是一有點「感謝上帝」的時刻，對吧？

Well, a little bit.

是的，有一點點。

At some point during the day while I was up there with Cedar I was just like I'm ready, like I'm sick of hanging around on ropes.

在我和 Cedar 一起攀爬的某天，我了解到我準備好了，我不想再用繩子攀爬了。

It went from, like, being sort of an intimidating idea to just being, like, I'm kind of excited to do this.

它就像是有點嚇人的想法，但我對這想法非常興奮。

Now we're going to see, see what happens up there, but…

現在，我們就要來看看，那裡發生了，但是......

Another good day.

另一個美好的一天。

Has anybody stepped outside, how is it?

有沒有人走到外面，怎麼回事？

It's cool, it's a little more chilly today,

挺涼的，今天有點寒冷，

and it's a slight breeze.

這是一陣微風。
