内容简介
2017年6月3日上午9点28分，亚历克斯·霍诺德徒手登顶优胜美地900多米的酋长岩，用时3小时56分。没有绳索、不带保护装备，仅凭双手、双脚和一袋镁粉，他创造了攀岩运动的“登月时刻”。
在亚历克斯身处的“攀登部落”，还有很多和他一样的人：他们有人周游世界，每到一处都留下新的攀登标准；有人不断开发新的冒险，在岩壁间走扁带，徒手登顶后穿上翼装从天而降；有人在岩壁上的吊帐里生活半个多月，只为完成一条困难线路的攀登；有人辗转极地、沙漠、雨林、“第三极”，以寻找和攀爬世界各大岩壁为人生使命；有人悬吊在崖壁之上，扛着摄像机拍摄壮阔山河、记录攀登者的身姿……
马克·辛诺特以亚历克斯·霍诺德的攀岩人生为绳索，带领我们进入攀登者的内心世界：这是一群甘愿为毫无价值却能点燃自己的事付出一切的人。他们追逐自由，却也活得专注、认真。

Content introduction
At 9:28 a.m. on June 3, 2017, Alex Honnold reached the top of Yosemite's El Capitan, more than 900 meters by hand, in 3 hours and 56 minutes. With no ropes, no protective gear, and only his hands, feet and a bag of magnesium powder, he created rock climbing's "moonshot moment."
Alex is part of the climbing tribe, and there are many others like him: Some of them travel the world, leaving new climbing standards everywhere they go; Some people are constantly developing new adventures, walking flat belts between rock walls, reaching the top of the mountain with their bare hands and descending from the sky in wingsuits. Some people live in a hanging tent on the rock wall for more than half a month, only to complete a difficult route to climb; Some people travel to the poles, deserts, rainforests, and the "third pole" to find and climb the world's major rock walls as a life mission; Someone suspended on the cliff, carrying a camera to photograph the magnificent mountains and rivers, record the climber's posture...
Using the climbing life of Alex Honnold as a rope, Mark Sinnott takes us inside the mind of the climbers: people who are willing to give everything for something worthless that ignits them. They chase freedom, but they also live intently and seriously.
