It's pretty simple. There are nine, sort of, rules
0
0
3000
Čisto enostavno je. Imamo devet, recimo pravil,
00:15
that I discovered after 35 years of rock climbing.
1
3000
4000
ki sem jih spoznal v 35 letih plezanja.
00:19
Most of them are pretty basic.
2
7000
4000
Večina je precej enostavnih.
00:23
Number one: don't let go --
3
11000
3000
Številka ena - ne spusti se.
00:26
very sure success method.
4
14000
2000
Gotovo koristno.
00:28
But really, truly -- often you think about
5
16000
3000
Toda resno, večkrat se želite
00:31
letting go way before your body does.
6
19000
2000
vdati, preden se vda vaše telo.
00:33
So hang in there,
7
21000
2000
Zdržite še malo
00:35
and you come up with some pretty peculiar solutions.
8
23000
4000
in našli boste vsemogoče rešitve.
00:39
Number two: hesitation is bad.
9
27000
2000
Številka dve: Ne oklevaj!
00:41
This is a friction climb, up in Tuolumne Meadows,
10
29000
3000
To je smer na trenje v Tuolumne Meadowsih
00:44
in the Yosemite high country.
11
32000
2000
v visokogorju Yosemitov.
00:46
Friction climbing doesn't have any sort of hard positive edges.
12
34000
4000
Plezanje na trenje nima dobrih stopov.
00:50
You're climbing on little dimples and nubbins in the rock.
13
38000
4000
Stopamo na drobne izbokline in vdrtine.
00:54
The most friction you have is when you first put your hand
14
42000
4000
Največje trenje imate ob prvem stiku
00:58
or your foot on the rock.
15
46000
3000
s skalo.
01:01
And then from that point on, you're basically falling.
16
49000
4000
Nato le še padate...
01:05
So momentum is good. Don't stop.
17
53000
3000
Izkoristite moment, ne ustavljajte se.
01:08
Rule number three: have a plan.
18
56000
2000
Tretje načelo: imejte načrt.
01:10
This is a climb called the Naked Edge,
19
58000
2000
To je smer z imenom Naked Edge
01:12
in El Dorado Canyon, outside of Boulder.
20
60000
2000
v kanjonu El Dorado v Coloradu.
01:14
This climber is on the last pitch of it.
21
62000
3000
Plezalec je v zadnjem raztežaju.
01:17
He's actually right about where I fell.
22
65000
2000
Približno tam je, kjer sem jaz padel.
01:19
There is about 1,000 feet of air below him.
23
67000
3000
Pod njim je okrog 300 metrov praznine
01:22
And all the hard pitches are actually below him.
24
70000
3000
in vsi težji raztežaji.
01:25
Often what happens is
25
73000
2000
Pogosto preveč
01:27
you're planning so hard for like,
26
75000
2000
razmišljamo o stvareh kot:
01:29
"How do I get through the hardest part? How do I get through the hardest part?"
27
77000
3000
"Ali bom prišel čez najtežji del? Kako?
01:32
And then what happens?
28
80000
2000
In kaj se zgodi?
01:34
You get to the last pitch. It's easy.
29
82000
2000
Prideš do zadnjega raztežaja, ki je lahek.
01:36
And you're completely flamed out. Don't do it.
30
84000
3000
In si popolnoma izgorel. Ne počnite tega.
01:39
You have to plan ahead to get to the top.
31
87000
3000
Načrtujte vnaprej.
01:42
But you also can't forget that each individual move
32
90000
3000
Hkrati ne pozabiti na vsak pozamezen gib,
01:45
you have to be able to complete.
33
93000
2000
ki ga morate narediti.
01:47
This is a climb called the Dike Route,
34
95000
2000
To je smer z imenom Dike Route
01:49
on Pywjack Dome, up in the Yosemite high country.
35
97000
4000
v Peyrat Domu, v visokogorju Yosemitov.
01:53
The interesting thing about this climb is it's not that hard.
36
101000
3000
Zanimivo, ta smer ni tako težka.
01:56
But if you're the leader on it,
37
104000
2000
Toda če plezaš naprej,
01:58
at the hardest move, you're looking at about 100 foot fall,
38
106000
4000
ti pri najtežjem gibu grozi 30 metrski padec
02:02
onto some low angle slabs.
39
110000
2000
na nevarnem mestu.
02:04
So you've got to focus.
40
112000
2000
Moraš se torej zbrati.
02:06
You don't want to stop in the middle like
41
114000
3000
Nočete se ustaviti na sredini
02:09
Coleridge's Kubla Kahn.
42
117000
2000
kot Coleridgev Kubla Kahn.
02:11
You've got to keep going.
43
119000
2000
Morate nadaljevati.
02:13
Rule number five: know how to rest.
44
121000
2000
Peto pravilo: Naučite se počivati.
02:15
It's amazing. The best climbers
45
123000
2000
Neverjetno, najboljši plezalci
02:17
are the ones that in the most extreme situations
46
125000
3000
se znajo v najtežjih situacijah
02:20
can get their bodies into some position
47
128000
2000
postaviti tako,
02:22
where they can rest,
48
130000
2000
da lahko v miru počivajo,
02:24
regroup, calm themselves, focus,
49
132000
3000
se umirijo, osredotočijo
02:27
and keep going.
50
135000
4000
in nato nadaljujejo.
02:31
This is a climb in the Needles, again in California.
51
139000
2000
To je smer v Needlesih, v Kaliforniji.
02:33
Fear really sucks because what it means is
52
141000
2000
Strah je res beden, ker pomeni,
02:35
you're not focusing on what you're doing.
53
143000
3000
da se ne osredotočate na trenutek.
02:38
You're focusing on the consequences of
54
146000
2000
Mislite na posledice
02:40
failing at what you're doing
55
148000
3000
svojega neuspeha.
02:43
because any given move should require
56
151000
2000
Ampak vsak gib zahteva
02:45
all your concentration and thought processes
57
153000
5000
vašo popolno koncentracijo,
02:50
to execute it effectively.
58
158000
2000
da ga uspešno izvedete.
02:52
One of the things in climbing is, most people
59
160000
3000
Ena stvar pri plezanju - večina ljudi
02:55
sort of take it straight on. And they follow the most obvious solution.
60
163000
4000
direktno napade smer. Sledijo najočitnejši rešitvi.
02:59
This is the Devils Tower in Wyoming,
61
167000
3000
To je Devils Tower v Wyomingu,
03:02
which is a columnar basalt formation
62
170000
3000
zanimiva formacija iz bazalta,
03:05
that most of you probably know from "Close Encounters."
63
173000
3000
ki jo verjetno poznate iz filma "Bližnja srečanja tretje vrste".
03:08
With this, typically crack climbers
64
176000
2000
Tu bi tipični plezalci poči,
03:10
would put their hands in and their toes in
65
178000
2000
zarinili svoje prste in noge v poč
03:12
and just start climbing.
66
180000
2000
in začeli lesti.
03:14
The cracks are too small to get your toes into
67
182000
3000
Poč je premala, da bi vanjo dobili stopalo,
03:17
so the only way to climb is using your fingertips
68
185000
3000
torej lahko uporabljamo le konice prstov
03:20
in the cracks,
69
188000
2000
v poči
03:22
and using opposing pressure
70
190000
2000
in nasprotujoči si pritisk
03:24
and forcing yourself up.
71
192000
3000
ter se tako dvigamo.
03:27
Rule number eight: strength doesn't always equal success.
72
195000
3000
Osmo pravilo: Moč ne zagotavlja vedno uspeha.
03:30
In the 35 years I've been a climbing guide
73
198000
2000
V 35 letih, odkar učim plezanje,
03:32
and taught on indoor walls, and stuff like that,
74
200000
2000
tudi v telovadnici in podobno,
03:34
the most important thing I've learned
75
202000
2000
sem spoznal pomembno stvar -
03:36
was, guys will always try to do pull-ups.
76
204000
3000
tipi bodo vedno poskušali izvesti potege.
03:39
Beginning guys, it's like, they thrash, they thrash,
77
207000
2000
Začetniki gredo na silo
03:41
they get 15 feet up --
78
209000
2000
in se dvignejo za 5 metrov.
03:43
and they can do about 15 pull-ups right --
79
211000
2000
Okoli petnajstkrat se lahko potegnejo z rokami, ne?
03:45
And then they just flame out.
80
213000
2000
Potem so skurjeni.
03:47
Women are much more in balance
81
215000
2000
Ženske so bolj v ravnovesju,
03:49
because they don't have that idea
82
217000
3000
saj zase ne mislijo,
03:52
that they're going to be able to do 100 pull-ups.
83
220000
2000
da bodo zmožne narediti 100 potegov.
03:54
They think about how to get the weight over their feet
84
222000
3000
Razmišljajo, kako bodo držale ravnotežje z nogami,
03:57
because it's sort of natural -- they carry you all day long.
85
225000
3000
kar je naravno. Nosijo te cel dan.
04:00
So balance is really critical,
86
228000
2000
Ravnotežje je torej zelo pomembno,
04:02
and keeping your weight on your feet,
87
230000
2000
silo naj držijo noge,
04:04
which is your strongest muscle.
88
232000
2000
saj so vaša najmočnejša mišica.
04:06
And of course there is rule number nine.
89
234000
2000
In nato še pravilo devet.
04:08
I came up with rule number nine after
90
236000
2000
Tega sem se domislil,
04:10
I actually didn't plan for a fall,
91
238000
2000
ko pravzaprav nisem pričakoval padca
04:12
and went about 40 feet and cracked a rib.
92
240000
3000
in sem padel približno 13 metrov ter si počil rebro.
04:15
Once you get to that point where you know it's going to happen,
93
243000
3000
Ko se enkrat zaveste, da boste padli,
04:18
you need to start thinking about how you're going to let go
94
246000
3000
morate razmisliti o tem, kako se boste spustili,
04:21
because that is the critical piece
95
249000
3000
kajti to je zelo pomembno,
04:24
of not getting hurt --
96
252000
2000
če se ne želite poškodovati -
04:26
how you're going to fall onto the rope,
97
254000
4000
kako boste padli, kje bo vrv,
04:30
or if you're climbing without a rope,
98
258000
2000
če ste brez vrvi,
04:32
fall to a place where you can actually control the fall.
99
260000
4000
padite tja, kjer lahko nadzirate padec.
04:36
So don't hang on till the bitter end.
100
264000
3000
Ne držite se do zadnjega.
04:39
Thank you very much.
101
267000
2000
Hvala lepa.
04:41
(Applause)
102
269000
