It's pretty simple. There are nine, sort of, rules
0
0
3000
Vrlo je jednostavno. Postoji devet pravila
00:15
that I discovered after 35 years of rock climbing.
1
3000
4000
koje sam otkrio nakon 35 godina penjanja po stijenama.
00:19
Most of them are pretty basic.
2
7000
4000
Većina ih je prilično osnovna.
00:23
Number one: don't let go --
3
11000
3000
Broj jedan: Ne puštajte –
00:26
very sure success method.
4
14000
2000
vrlo sigurna metoda uspjeha.
00:28
But really, truly -- often you think about
5
16000
3000
Ali zaista -- često vmislite o tome kako ćete se
00:31
letting go way before your body does.
6
19000
2000
pustiti daleko prije nego vaše tijelo to osjeti.
00:33
So hang in there,
7
21000
2000
Stoga, držite se
00:35
and you come up with some pretty peculiar solutions.
8
23000
4000
i naići ćete na neka čudna rješenja.
00:39
Number two: hesitation is bad.
9
27000
2000
Broj dva: Oklijevanje je loše.
00:41
This is a friction climb, up in Tuolumne Meadows,
10
29000
3000
Ovo je penjanje uz trenje, gore u Tuolumne Meadows,
00:44
in the Yosemite high country.
11
32000
2000
u okružju Yosemite.
00:46
Friction climbing doesn't have any sort of hard positive edges.
12
34000
4000
Penjanje uz trenje nema nikakvih oštrih rubova.
00:50
You're climbing on little dimples and nubbins in the rock.
13
38000
4000
Penjete se uz male ulegnuča i izbočine u stijeni.
00:54
The most friction you have is when you first put your hand
14
42000
4000
Najveću frikcijuimate kada prvi put stavite ruku
00:58
or your foot on the rock.
15
46000
3000
ili nogu na stijenu.
01:01
And then from that point on, you're basically falling.
16
49000
4000
I poslije tog trenutka, vi zapravo padate.
01:05
So momentum is good. Don't stop.
17
53000
3000
Momentum je dobar. Nemojte stajati.
01:08
Rule number three: have a plan.
18
56000
2000
Pravilo broj tri: Imajte plan.
01:10
This is a climb called the Naked Edge,
19
58000
2000
Ovo je stijena zvana Naked Edge
01:12
in El Dorado Canyon, outside of Boulder.
20
60000
2000
u kanjonu El Dorado, izvan Bouldera.
01:14
This climber is on the last pitch of it.
21
62000
3000
Ovaj penjač je skoro pri vrhu.
01:17
He's actually right about where I fell.
22
65000
2000
On je zapravo baš tamo gdje sam ja pao.
01:19
There is about 1,000 feet of air below him.
23
67000
3000
Oko 305 metara zraka je ispod njega.
01:22
And all the hard pitches are actually below him.
24
70000
3000
I sve teške parcele su zapravo ispod njega.
01:25
Often what happens is
25
73000
2000
Često se dogodi
01:27
you're planning so hard for like,
26
75000
2000
da planirate
01:29
"How do I get through the hardest part? How do I get through the hardest part?"
27
77000
3000
"Kako ću proći najteži dio? Kako ću proći najteži dio?"
01:32
And then what happens?
28
80000
2000
I što se tada dogodi?
01:34
You get to the last pitch. It's easy.
29
82000
2000
Dođete do zadnje parcele. Lako je.
01:36
And you're completely flamed out. Don't do it.
30
84000
3000
I potpuno izgorite. Nemojte to raditi.
01:39
You have to plan ahead to get to the top.
31
87000
3000
Morate unaprijed planirati kako doći do vrha.
01:42
But you also can't forget that each individual move
32
90000
3000
Morate zapamtiti kako svaki pojedinačni pokret
01:45
you have to be able to complete.
33
93000
2000
morate biti u mogućnosti završiti.
01:47
This is a climb called the Dike Route,
34
95000
2000
Ovo je uspon Dike Route
01:49
on Pywjack Dome, up in the Yosemite high country.
35
97000
4000
na Peyrat Dome, u okružju Yosemite.
01:53
The interesting thing about this climb is it's not that hard.
36
101000
3000
Zanimljiva stvar ovog uspona jest da nije tako težak.
01:56
But if you're the leader on it,
37
104000
2000
Ali ako ste vođa,
01:58
at the hardest move, you're looking at about 100 foot fall,
38
106000
4000
na najtežem dijelu, gledate pad od 30 metara
02:02
onto some low angle slabs.
39
110000
2000
na neke ploče niskog ugla.
02:04
So you've got to focus.
40
112000
2000
Morate se usredotočiti.
02:06
You don't want to stop in the middle like
41
114000
3000
Ne želite se zaustaviti na sredini
02:09
Coleridge's Kubla Kahn.
42
117000
2000
kao što je Coleridge Kubla Kahn.
02:11
You've got to keep going.
43
119000
2000
Morate nastaviti.
02:13
Rule number five: know how to rest.
44
121000
2000
Pravilo broj pet: Znajte se odmoriti.
02:15
It's amazing. The best climbers
45
123000
2000
Zanimljivo. Najbolji penjači
02:17
are the ones that in the most extreme situations
46
125000
3000
su oni koji u najekstremnijim situacijama
02:20
can get their bodies into some position
47
128000
2000
mogu dovesti njihova tijela u položaj
02:22
where they can rest,
48
130000
2000
u kojem se mogu odmoriti,
02:24
regroup, calm themselves, focus,
49
132000
3000
pregrupirati, smiriti, fokusirati,
02:27
and keep going.
50
135000
4000
i krenuti dalje.
02:31
This is a climb in the Needles, again in California.
51
139000
2000
Ovo je uspon u Needles, opet u Kaliforniji.
02:33
Fear really sucks because what it means is
52
141000
2000
Strah je zbilja loš jer to znači kako
02:35
you're not focusing on what you're doing.
53
143000
3000
niste usredotočeni na ono što radite.
02:38
You're focusing on the consequences of
54
146000
2000
Usredotočujete se na posljedice
02:40
failing at what you're doing
55
148000
3000
ako ne uspijete ono što radite,
02:43
because any given move should require
56
151000
2000
jer svaki sljedeći pokret zahtjeva
02:45
all your concentration and thought processes
57
153000
5000
svu vašu koncentraciju i misaone procese
02:50
to execute it effectively.
58
158000
2000
kako biste to uspješno završili.
02:52
One of the things in climbing is, most people
59
160000
3000
Jedna od stvari u penjanju jest, većina ljudi
02:55
sort of take it straight on. And they follow the most obvious solution.
60
163000
4000
gleda na to samo ravno. I oni slijede najočitije rješenje.
02:59
This is the Devils Tower in Wyoming,
61
167000
3000
Ovo je Devils Tower u Wyomingu,
03:02
which is a columnar basalt formation
62
170000
3000
stijene nastale hlađenjem lave,
03:05
that most of you probably know from "Close Encounters."
63
173000
3000
koje većina zna iz "Bliskih susreta".
03:08
With this, typically crack climbers
64
176000
2000
Tipični penjači će
03:10
would put their hands in and their toes in
65
178000
2000
staviti ruke i prste u pukotine i
03:12
and just start climbing.
66
180000
2000
samo se početi penjati.
03:14
The cracks are too small to get your toes into
67
182000
3000
Pukotine su premale kako biste smjestili prste u njih,
03:17
so the only way to climb is using your fingertips
68
185000
3000
jedini način da se popnete je koristeći
03:20
in the cracks,
69
188000
2000
vrhove prstiju,
03:22
and using opposing pressure
70
190000
2000
i koristeći suprotni pritisak,
03:24
and forcing yourself up.
71
192000
3000
gurajući sebe prema gore.
03:27
Rule number eight: strength doesn't always equal success.
72
195000
3000
Pravilo broj osam: Snaga nije uvijek istoznačna uspjehu.
03:30
In the 35 years I've been a climbing guide
73
198000
2000
U 35 godina koliko sam vodič penjanja
03:32
and taught on indoor walls, and stuff like that,
74
200000
2000
i poučavao na unutarnjim zidovima, i sličnim stvarima,
03:34
the most important thing I've learned
75
202000
2000
najvažnija stvar koju sam naučio,
03:36
was, guys will always try to do pull-ups.
76
204000
3000
muškarci će uvijek pokušati raditi zgibove.
03:39
Beginning guys, it's like, they thrash, they thrash,
77
207000
2000
Početnici se tako popnu
03:41
they get 15 feet up --
78
209000
2000
kojih 5 metara.
03:43
and they can do about 15 pull-ups right --
79
211000
2000
A oni mogu napraviti oko 15 zgibova, zar ne?
03:45
And then they just flame out.
80
213000
2000
I onda jednostavno izgore.
03:47
Women are much more in balance
81
215000
2000
Žene su uravnoteženije
03:49
because they don't have that idea
82
217000
3000
jer nemaju tu ideju
03:52
that they're going to be able to do 100 pull-ups.
83
220000
2000
kako mogu napraviti 100 zgibova.
03:54
They think about how to get the weight over their feet
84
222000
3000
Razmišljaju kako prenijeti težinu sa nogu
03:57
because it's sort of natural -- they carry you all day long.
85
225000
3000
jer je to prirodno. One te nose cijeli dan.
04:00
So balance is really critical,
86
228000
2000
Dakle, ravnoteža je kritična,
04:02
and keeping your weight on your feet,
87
230000
2000
i održavanje težine na nogama,
04:04
which is your strongest muscle.
88
232000
2000
koje su vaš najjači mišić.
04:06
And of course there is rule number nine.
89
234000
2000
Naravno, pravilo broj devet.
04:08
I came up with rule number nine after
90
236000
2000
Naišao sam na to pravilo nakon što,
04:10
I actually didn't plan for a fall,
91
238000
2000
zapravo nisam planirao pasti,
04:12
and went about 40 feet and cracked a rib.
92
240000
3000
a pao sam s oko 12 metara i slomio rebro.
04:15
Once you get to that point where you know it's going to happen,
93
243000
3000
Kada dođete do tog trenutka kada znate kako će se to dogoditi,
04:18
you need to start thinking about how you're going to let go
94
246000
3000
morate početi razmišljati kako ćete se pustiti
04:21
because that is the critical piece
95
249000
3000
jer je to kritično
04:24
of not getting hurt --
96
252000
2000
da nebiste stradali –
04:26
how you're going to fall onto the rope,
97
254000
4000
kako ćete pasti uz uže ili
04:30
or if you're climbing without a rope,
98
258000
2000
ako se penjete bez užeta,
04:32
fall to a place where you can actually control the fall.
99
260000
4000
padnite na mjesto gdje možete kontrolirati pad.
04:36
So don't hang on till the bitter end.
100
264000
3000
Ne držite se do samog kraja.
04:39
Thank you very much.
101
267000
2000
Hvala vam puno.
04:41
(Applause)
