Or he’s practicing for the free climbing contest.

或者他正在练习徒手攀岩。

He found it in the 19 perilous sport called free climbing. Free climbers use no ropes or gear.

他发明了徒手攀岩的冒险运动，攀岩者不用绳索也不用绞轮。

I called Brooke Sandahl, who was keen on free climbing the Nose. He had already spent time and energy in attempts the year before.

我打电话给一位很渴望自由攀登Nose的人，叫Brooke Sandahl，他数年前就花了很多时间和精神尝试。

Free Climbing: Moving up a rock using only hands, feet, and natural holds. Ropes and pro are only used for protection of the climber and not for progression.

自由攀登：只利用手、脚、天然把手点上攀；绳索等人工器材只是用来确保，对上攀无助力。

He was horrified to find, when free-climbing in France, that holds had been chiselled in the rock face and stone-like grips glued on.

有一次在法国攀岩时，他不无惊恐地发现，早已有人在岩面上凿出了支撑点，那些像石头一样的把手已经黏在岩面之上。
