It's reasonable for me, a stuntman, to live a crazy life, right?

Chapter 1170 Dancing on the edge of a knife! Is he ascending to heaven?
The dazzling sunlight poured down, covering the entire El Capitan with a golden coat, as if the noble chief was looking down at the human who was delusionally trying to conquer him!

At this moment, on the huge rock wall, a figure was slowly climbing up on an almost smooth rock wall.

The sunlight also penetrated through the sparse clouds and sprinkled on Chen Fei, covering him with a layer of golden armor!

"boom--"

The tip of the index finger, covered with magnesium powder, once again tightly grasped a rock point with almost no visible ups and downs!
Because he used too much force, veins even bulged on his wrists, which looked very scary in the camera, like burst blood vessels.

Since the soles of the climbing shoes could not find suitable rock points, they could only be placed in two not-so-flat grooves, barely supporting the center of gravity.

He worked so hard to climb up, with an attitude of never giving up and moving forward!
Sweat slid down his cheeks, dripped onto the rock wall, and evaporated without a trace in an instant. He did not retreat at all, but climbed up even more determinedly!
To be honest, the first part of the journey was not particularly difficult.

Even compared to the second half of the journey, the difficulty here is not worth mentioning.

After all, the height is limited and the rock wall is not particularly steep.

As long as you hold on firmly, move upwards step by step, choose the right point, and maintain the basic principle of "two points fixed, one point moving", there will basically be no major problems.

Chen Fei did not deliberately pursue any speed, but maintained a very stable rhythm.

Free climbing is actually a very long process, and it is impossible to sprint at full speed like a 100-meter sprint.

The best long-distance runner in the world may be able to complete a 900-meter middle-distance race in less than a minute.

However, there is no way he could climb from the base of El Capitan to the top in under a minute!

The current world record for climbing El Capitan, held by Alex Honnold, is nearly four hours.

Chen Fei’s goal is very simple, just to break the record set by the other party!

He was climbing steadily, and in the live broadcast room, netizens and fans from all over the world were exclaiming:

"No? Director Chen, are there tentacles growing out of his palms? How can he stick to the rock wall like a gecko? How on earth did he do that?"

"Don't your palms sweat? If you accidentally slip, won't you be doomed?"

"Even Jesus wouldn't dare to do such a dangerous thing. This is simply courting death!"

"Come on! You must succeed! This is risking your life!"

"I can see clearly now. The process of climbing up is a complete challenge to my physical strength and limits! I can only use the tips of my fingers to hold those grooves. Isn't this too difficult?"

~

Looking up, the huge dark gray granite stands before your eyes, as if connected to the skyline, endless and without end!
This sense of oppression is undoubtedly enormous for the challenger.

It will make people subconsciously nervous, as if if they are just a step slower or their hands slip, they will be thrown down and smashed to pieces, with no chance of recovery!
Therefore, rock climbing requires not only skills and physical strength, but also a huge heart.

You must be fearless! Fearless! This is also the key factor that determines whether the climb can be successful.

"He was much faster than me at the start." Alex Honnold murmured at the foot of the mountain, with a little admiration for Chen Fei in his heart.

Looking around the world, the person who can be called the No. 1 extreme challenger is none other than Chen Fei.

Because other people more or less only master one or two challenging skills, but he is like a "decathlon" athlete, not only can he do everything, but also can do it to the extreme!
Although El Capitan was Chen Fei's first challenge, Alex Honnold felt that the world record he set two years ago would definitely be broken by him!

"He will succeed, right?" Chen Long's voice suddenly came.

"Maybe, but he has to overcome this difficulty first."

Alex Honnold's gaze passed over Chen Fei and came to the position above his head.

There, the first hurdle of El Capitan is like a wall of thorns, showing a "mocking" smile to all extreme athletes who dare to challenge it.

At this moment, Fade Chen just raised his head and looked forward.

Not far ahead of him, the first climbing difficulty of this trip - the "extreme flat plate" appeared!

The general meaning of this word is some rock flat areas that are nearly horizontal or have a very small angle, with relatively smooth surfaces and difficult to find effective grip and support points encountered during rock climbing.

This "extreme flat plate" area that appears on El Capitan is extremely dangerous!

This is a very "abnormal" plane, almost as smooth as a mirror.

When passing through, climbers can only step on rock protrusions less than 1 cm thick and hold their fingers on cracks less than 1 cm thick in the rock wall, which is a great test of their physical strength, skills and psychological quality.

Therefore, during the entire climbing process, Chen Fei had to be extremely alert, carefully checking the situation ahead, looking for those insignificant bumps, so that he could pull himself up.

Compared to the starting stage, this is the real hurdle that hinders rock climbers!
Many of the world's most famous rock climbers were stopped at this hurdle when they came to challenge El Capitan.

"Devil's plane!"

This is the evaluation and description of this area by the rock climbing community. It is like a demon that has devoured countless brave and fearless challengers!
"call--"

After taking a deep breath, Fade Chen found a relatively stable place, slightly adjusted his state and breath, and at the same time covered his hands with magnesium powder.

His current altitude is about 170 meters.

The wind here is very strong right now, so he has to wait until the wind is a little lighter before he can continue to move, otherwise he might be blown away by the sudden wind.

At the same time, while repairing and waiting for the wind to die down, he did not forget to carefully observe the "devil's plane" in front of him.

He needed to find a suitable route to climb upwards.

There is no such thing as "backwards" in rock climbing. You have to move forward, forward, and always move forward. Once you move back, you will most likely face death!
"I would like to ask, is there any road ahead? Can we continue forward?"

"What road is there? Isn't that just a mirror?"

"So this challenge is about to end, right? Can I come down now? It feels so dangerous!"

"This place is really scary! It's a 90-degree plane, eroded by wind like a mirror. I'm afraid even a gecko can't get up there."

"Okay, you can come down now. There's no need to go any further. It's just a movie. Why risk your life?"

Looking around, there were already many people in the live broadcast room's comments advising Chen Fei not to be so stubborn, and that it was about time to come down.

It would be totally not worth it to lose your life just to make a movie.

But at this moment, the wind died down and he suddenly moved!

Under the gazes of countless people, he slowly and firmly stretched out his right hand and grabbed a bulge with his index finger.

Then he stood on tiptoes and held against the rock wall, providing new support and force points for his body.

After making sure the two points were stable, he reached over his head with his left hand and grabbed a slightly sunken groove again.

work hard!

As his body moved upwards, under the incredulous gazes of the crowd, his upper body lay flat on that extremely dangerous surface.

Only after he was sure that there was no problem did he continue to stretch out his feet, using the toes of one foot to find a new fulcrum and move his body!
A few dozen seconds later, he was completely on the "Devil's Plane", clinging to the rock wall like an octopus.

Then, continue to alternate between the left and right hands, looking for new climbing points in turn.

Compared with his previous climb, his current behavior looked extremely dangerous, as if he would slide down directly if he was not careful!
People in ancient times often said that navigating the world is like walking on the edge of a knife.

And now, his rock climbing behavior is like dancing on the edge of a knife!

The effect of seeking death is as high as it can go!
What’s even more exciting is that he must maintain this climbing method throughout the entire climbing process and cannot make any mistakes.

Otherwise, all the roads he has traveled will bid him farewell and become witnesses of his meeting with the god of death!
"Watch carefully, what's going to be shown next is a ballet on the edge of a knife."

Alex Honnold was very excited. If he was not in a good condition now, he would have accompanied Chen Fei on this trip no matter what.

But there will still be a chance in the future, because he is going to train Chen Long, and then he can continue to go up and experience it by hanging on the wire rope.

As for unprotected rock climbing, forget it because he no longer has the confidence to successfully reach the summit.

“It’s really like dancing on the edge of a knife!”

"How do I practice this? Can I try to learn it? It feels so cool!"

"Brothers and sisters, please don't imitate this! If this thing fails, you will fall to the ground and be boxed."

"I now understand why there are so few foreigners. There are so many fearless people out there, committing suicide. It would be strange if there were more people."

"Indeed, this kind of behavior is mostly done by foreigners. There are not many talents in this field in China. Director Chen can be regarded as a unique master."

The heated discussions echoed in the barrage of the live broadcast room, and time passed by minute by minute.

Chen Fei climbed higher and higher, and his movements became more and more thrilling!

Many fans have even been so scared that they dare not watch it anymore.

Because his movements at this moment were so scary, as if he was about to fall down in the next second.

For example, the point he was grabbing now, he only used two fingers to pull his whole body upwards. If he was not careful, no one could imagine what the outcome would be.

But what is surprising is that even though the risk factor is very high, Chen Fei still does not feel nervous at all.

From the overhead shot of the drone, we can see that at this moment, not only is there no panic on his face, but there is a bit of anticipation, as if he is expecting a more dangerous situation ahead.

"He's simply a lunatic! Why is he so excited when the place is more thrilling?!"

Chen Fei: Let the storm come even harder!

After climbing the front section and passing through the middle section, Chen Fei finally arrived at the second half of the "Devil's Plane".

Compared with the previous bulge, the situation here has undergone earth-shaking changes.

Looking around, one can see inconspicuous small depressions and weathering holes distributed irregularly on the rock wall in front.

According to Chen Fei's understanding, this area is also called the "Devil's Crater"!
Those slightly sunken weathering holes were like irregular, ugly eyes all over the devil, staring at him, as if trying to drive him away with great deterrence.

But he was not afraid at all. After leaving behind his moving figure, he climbed up through the depressions with his superb rock-climbing skills.

"This is simply the Diamond Finger! Isn't the power in this finger too strong? It can actually pull a body weighing more than 100 kilograms upwards. It's really amazing!"

"I have a bold idea, but I don't know if it will be realized in the future."

"I advise you to nip this idea in the bud. Liu Yifei won't agree. This is someone else's husband, not yours."

"Where's my husband?"

"You middle-aged, unruly woman, stop being so horny and just watch the live broadcast!"

~

The devil's plane did not stop Chen Fei's progress. The only thing that made him unhappy was that he wasted a lot of time here.

So after struggling to break through this "extreme flat" area, he suddenly increased his climbing speed a lot, using all four limbs to pass the next area very quickly.

"Huh? Why doesn't he conserve some of his energy?"

At the foot of the mountain, Alex Honnold looked at Fade Chen's suddenly increased climbing speed and couldn't help but widen his eyes in surprise.

"Maybe the road behind is better..."

Before Chen Long could finish his words, his sight had already caught sight of the route that Chen Fei was going to challenge next, and his words came to an abrupt halt!

In the sight, a very straight and large crack suddenly appeared in everyone's eyes!

It grew right in the middle of a wide rock wall, as if some alien had slashed the rock wall with a knife or sword, creating a crack.

The bottom of the rift is very narrow, but as the altitude increases, the gap becomes wider.

Looking around, the widest part can even fit a grown man!
When Chen Long at the foot of the mountain saw Chen Fei reaching his hands into the crack, grabbing the crack and trying to climb up, he suddenly fell silent. If this route was still good, then the sections of road that Chen Fei had passed before were completely equivalent to a flat road!
"How do you climb while holding onto the crack?"

"It is recommended to use a tearing method, with both hands tearing outwards, to provide a support and friction force, and then take this opportunity to climb up."

"No, no, I suggest you go up like the big gecko did when we went through the mirror area before."

"It feels like this place is even scarier than the previous one. At least there were some small bumps and depressions before, but now there is nothing to grab except the cracks."

"Why don't you just come down? We're already halfway up anyway. Why don't we just find a helicopter to lift us up?"

A bunch of “knowledgeable guys” suddenly appeared in the live broadcast room and put forward a variety of suggestions. Some people even started arguing because of disagreements.

Fortunately, Fade Chen didn't have the time or opportunity to read the comments, otherwise he would have laughed so hard that he would have fallen down.

He really doesn't understand why some people would pretend to be experts and guide others on social platforms, as if they are more authoritative than professionals?
~

Turning slightly sideways, Chen Fei put his hands into the cracks of the rock one by one and clasped them tightly, then used the strength of his arms to slowly pull his body up.

Then, he put his feet on the rock wall and started to move upwards little by little - rubbing!

This movement really tests your arm strength and core waist and abdominal strength!

Because during the whole process you need to use both hands to hold on to the rock cracks firmly for two-point fixation, and you also need to use your feet to provide an upward power source!
Therefore, arm strength and core strength must be stable, accurate and fierce to provide a constant supply of power to the outside. If any one of them is not trained properly, there will be very terrible consequences!

The climbing continued, Chen Fei was like a tireless machine, never stopping!
The drone camera has been following his footsteps, showing his superb climbing skills while flying around, presenting the full picture of this crack, which is hailed as the "Monster Crack" in the industry, to all audiences around the world.

The nearly vertical crack, when attached to the El Capitan, was like a scepter raised high into the sky!
When you look at Chen Fei from a distance, it feels like he is climbing a scepter. It is extremely thrilling and exciting, and it is hard not to admire him!

"Just looking at it makes me feel scared. I can't even imagine what it feels like to climb on it."

"It feels like Director Chen is... ascending to heaven?"

"That's right! He is ascending to heaven! Isn't the scepter extending towards the sky?"

"boom--"

At this moment, a clapping sound appeared clearly in everyone's ears.

When everyone focused their eyes on the screen, they saw a palm covered with magnesium powder suddenly inserted into the crack like a sharp sword, and then held it tightly!

The white powder-like magnesium powder was squeezed between the palm and the rock wall, flying everywhere, and then driven and swept by the wind, lingering around Chen Fei, as if to create a clearly visible outline for him!

At this moment, he was like a god! A physical training god walking towards the sky! With his endless power, he was about to challenge the majestic sky!
"I... am I watching a movie? This is a special effects scene, right? This can't be real, right?"

"Wow! Just watching the live broadcast is already so cool. If you add post-production, special effects and music, wouldn't it be so cool?"

“So cool! Aaaaaaahhhh!

~

Fortunately, as the altitude increased, the crack above Chen Fei's head was getting bigger and bigger.

At first, it was just enough for a palm to enter, but as the climb height increased, the crack gradually began to expand.

When he reached the end of the climb, his speed was naturally much faster than at the beginning.

Soon, using both his hands and feet, he successfully climbed up about 100 meters.

At this time, he was already at the upper and middle section of El Capitan.

Looking up, it is the most difficult, dangerous and terrifying section of the entire "Monster Rift", but it is also the easiest section.

The reason why it is easy is that as the crack widens, there are many more places to climb and hold on to.

The reason why he was in danger was still because the crack was expanding, so that he had no choice but to face one side of the crack while leaning against the other side, relying on the four traction and friction points of his chest, back, palms and soles of his feet to move and rub upwards little by little.

At the same time, he had to endure the pinching and friction of the rock wall and the occasional falling of debris.

This is fucking terrible, but Chen Fei has no choice but to move up little by little.

"There's blood all over his back!"

Someone in the live broadcast room keenly observed the condition of Chen Fei's back.

Because he couldn't see with his eyes and needed more friction, Chen Fei could only rub his back against the wall upwards.

When flesh rubs against stone, everyone knows which side will suffer greater damage.

But, he has no choice!

"hiss!"

The sound of people sucking in a breath of cold air could be heard by many people in the live broadcast room from time to time, making many of them feel heartbroken.

Gradually, there were no more messy comments in the barrage, only two simple words.

--come on!!!
Those who challenge the limits should not be ridiculed. They are all pursuing the ultimate limits of human beings and deserve to be encouraged, inspired and recognized!

Time passes quickly every second.

He didn't know how long it had been, but suddenly, Fade Chen felt a chill on his body, as if a gust of wind was blowing towards him.

He subconsciously looked up and saw the long-lost blue sky appear in his sight, which inexplicably gave him great encouragement!
At this moment, he seemed to have received a shot of adrenaline. Suddenly, a force emerged out of nowhere, pushing him subconsciously to speed up his climbing.

In the picture, his movements are very graceful and gorgeous, and he can master various rock climbing techniques with ease. Almost all of them are subconscious reactions and muscle memory formed by long-term training!
Usually, when he puts his hand on one fulcrum, he will also grasp the next fulcrum and be able to adjust to the best climbing posture.

Just like that, the blue sky above was getting closer and closer, and the huge rock at the top of the crack finally appeared in front of us!

"boom--"

Chen Fei suddenly kicked his feet hard and sent his body up more than half a meter. Then he immediately reached up, grabbed a long and narrow crack in the rock, and pulled his body hard!

"drink!"

With a roar bursting out of his mouth, he directly did a one-arm hanging pull-up, pulled himself out of the "Monster Crack", and stepped onto the top of a huge rock.

Seeing this, the live broadcast room was already filled with cheers!
"It's done! It's out! Holy crap! Awesome!"

"Wow, that last move was so cool. I thought he was going to run out of energy, but he did a one-arm pull-up. How much strength does that take?"

"What physical strength? Director Chen is a tireless machine. All he does is charge! And charge!"

"I envy Liu Yifei so much for having such a husband~ I wish my husband could last more than a minute."

"The guy upstairs, there's something wrong with you! Don't imitate Director Chen and just start dunking!"

"..."

The comments in the live broadcast room suddenly turned yellow, but Fade Chen ignored it.

After standing on the boulder to rest for a while, he took off his shirt, which had been rubbed on his back to the point of being stripped of cloth, and threw it down to the foot of the mountain.

Then, without any hesitation, he launched a fearless charge towards the peak above his head!
However, what he didn't know was that a large number of fans in front of the screen had already started licking the screen.

The eight abdominal muscles are sharp and angular! The two huge pectoral muscles are bulging and look very good to the touch. The curves of the biceps and triceps on the arms are also very beautiful, sexy and manly, just like natural sculptures!

At this moment, not to mention the women, even the men were ready to make a move.

"When will Director Chen come to Chengdu to play? It would be great if I could take a photo with him in my arms."

"You bastard! Stop being so horny! Watch out or I'll whip you with a whip!"

"Oh! Great! Where are you? Do you need me to bring my own whip?"

"I'm really..."

~

The last obstacle standing in front of Chen Fei is still a vertical rock wall similar to the previous "Extreme Flatbed" area.

The entire rock wall area is not high, only three meters at most.

But it is not easy to climb up this rock wall.

Unlike the previous "extreme flat plate" area, the rock wall here is not a curved surface, but a 90-degree vertical cross-section.

And there are very few rock points above that can be used for climbing!
Standing at the bottom of the rock wall, Chen Fei looked up and felt as if he had seen an insurmountable chasm, which was daunting!
However, as the saying goes, there are no roads in the world, but when more people walk, roads are formed.

Chen Fei agreed with this statement very much.

So, he decided to find his own way out!

After a careful look, he successfully found two grooves about as narrow as the little finger nail more than one meter above the right side of the stone wall.

Perhaps for others, this would be complete despair.

After all, how could it be possible to grasp something when the groove on the little finger nail is so narrow?
But he didn't think so.

Even in his opinion, this is the way!
Time was running out, so without any hesitation, he stretched out his left hand and grabbed one of the rock holds.

Then, he slowly exerted force to raise his body's center of gravity until his elbows and chest were in a relatively horizontal position, and then he stopped.

Then, he stretched out his right hand which was used for support, and with lightning speed, he firmly grasped another imperceptible groove (rock point).

As for the position where the feet are standing, it is the bulge that the right hand used for support just now.

At this moment, his entire body was in the shape of an inverted triangle, and he looked like he was hanging on the rock wall.

Then, he bent his legs slightly, and all the muscles in his arms suddenly tensed...

Watching this scene, many people in front of the screen were very curious.

"What is this move? I don't understand. What does it do?"

"I always feel that Director Chen is going to do something big."

"Ouch! What the hell!"

Under everyone's incredulous gazes, the next second, Fade Chen instantly exerted force with his feet, and his arms followed suit by pulling upwards violently, and the whole person actually jumped up!

During the entire leap, his body remained close to the wall and did not lean backward or deviate.

It's too late to say, then soon!
Before everyone in front of the screen could react, his two hands had already placed on the top of the rock wall, firmly locking the top of the rock wall!

With that jump, he jumped to a height of nearly two meters and directly crossed the entire vertical rock wall area!

In the next second, Chen Fei used both hands to pull upwards again, and the whole person jumped up again, flying like an eagle, and jumped directly to the top of El Capitan, standing at the highest point!
Instantly! The already noisy live broadcast room suddenly exploded as if a heavy bomb had suddenly detonated!
"Two vertical jumps off the rock face? A jump of 3 meters? Directly reaching the top?"

"Fuck! That scene just now made my heart almost jump out!"

"No? How dare you? If there's even the slightest mistake, the whole person will just fade away and fall!"

"Extreme control! The courage to fight against the heavens! I admire you! I really admire you!"

"Even if someone says Fei is God now, I will definitely believe it!"

"Amazing! This is incredible! He really managed to climb up!"

"It took 3 hours and 17 minutes. Wow, it was half an hour faster than Alex Honnold. The world record was broken!"

"Chen Fei! Awesome!!!"
