攀登无极限（2012）

攀登无极限
探险特别节目
攀岩运动出现至今的150多年来
In the 150 or so years since the sport began,
攀登者们时刻都在挑战新的极限
climbers have been highly innovative at putting up bold new lines.
如今英国的悬崖峭壁早已被完全征服
Today, Britain's great crags have been thoroughly explored
布满划定的攀登路线
and all littered with climbing routes.
本片将跟随苏格兰最优秀的两位攀岩者
This film follows two of Scotland's best rock athletes,
去探索一种全新的先锋攀岩
when they take that search for first ascents in a new direction.
我们将跟随他们从黑暗一寸寸迈向光明
We join them as they inch their way from darkness into light.
这就是攀登无极限
This is Climbing...No Limits!
这里是峰区国家公园
This is the Peak District -
位于英格兰腹地
the centre of England
是现代登山运动的心脏
and the heart of its modern climbing scene.
这里有着众多的洞穴体系
It's home to numerous cave systems.
其中最著名的莫过于山顶洞
One of the most famous is Peak Cavern.
现在游客就能来此参观
Today, tourists can explore it,
遵循曾工作生活于此的人们的脚步
along with the lives of the people who once lived and worked here.
但对攀登者来说 它别有吸引力
But it has another attraction for climbers -
有一种令人惊奇的新运动潜伏于此
a potentially stunning new sport route
它能带你进入洞穴深处
that starts at the back of the cave entrance
直面陡峭的洞穴石壁
and finishes with a sheer rock wall.
无数攀登者都曾想一探究竟
Many sport climbers have wanted to explore here,
但从未获得过批准 直到现在
but no-one has ever got permission...until now.
但有些讽刺的是
And there's an irony.
纯粹出于运气 最先获得机会的攀登者
By pure good luck, it's not the local experts,
并非来自本地 是两个路过的苏格兰人
but two visiting Scots on a mission who will get the first chance here.
这是峰区国家公园中最大的
This is the biggest unclimbed lump of rock
未曾被攀登过的巨石
in the whole of the Peak District.
它是英国最奇特的石灰岩洞穴之一
It really is one of Britain's most phenomenal limestone caves,
甚至上周我还未曾听说过它
and I didn't know it existed before this week.
曾经有一小群高超的制绳者
For 400 years, a small community of highly skilled rope-makers
在这大洞穴♥口♥里生活了400年
lived in the huge entrance to this cavern.
作为众所周知的峰区七大奇观之一
Known as one of the Seven Wonders of the Peak,
它被称作"恶魔的肛♥门♥"
it was originally called the Devil's Arse,
洞里的村庄从未见过阳光
and the village within it was one that never saw the sun.
这是英国最大的洞穴入口
It's the largest cave entrance in Britain.
攀登者趋之若鹜之地
A potential Mecca for climbers.
记得当年我第一次来到峰区时
I remember my first trip to the Peak District
异常兴奋 因为我们即将
and just being so excited because we were going to
步入攀岩世界的中心
the centre of the climbing universe, you know?
戴夫·麦克劳德
这里有无数的攀登路线和攀登者
There are so many routes and so many climbers,
还有这样的鬼斧神工的峭壁
and so this particular cliff stands out massively.
戴夫·麦克劳德是世界上最出色的攀登者之一
Dave MacLeod is one of the world's great climbers
2010年中 五次成功攀登五座岛屿
他不断挑战极限 成就了一系列
someone who has consistently pushed the limits
里程碑式的危险先锋攀登
with a series of landmark and often dangerous first ascents.
我爬过赫布里底群岛中巨大的海崖
Having climbed in the big sea cliffs in the Hebrides
并于冬夏两季征服了苏格兰高地的山崖
and the mountain cliffs of the Highlands in summer and winter ice,
可以攀登的地方很多
there's, like, so many places it takes you to.
我认为攀岩运动与众不同
I don't think there's many sports that are like that.
一般运动通常只要在同一个地方
You normally do a sport in one place,
因此得到的体验也一成不变
so the experience of doing it stays kind of the same.
但攀登需要你到不同的地方去
But, in climbing, you go to all sorts of different places
我认为这是它最独特的地方
and I think that's what's special about it.
同戴夫一起挑战英格兰巨石的是埃兰·卡西迪
Joining Dave in this foray onto English rock is Alan Cassidy.
他曾是英国国家队成员
He's been a member of the British team,
在全英攀岩大赛中获得过季军
came third in the UK's lead climbing competition
此外 在过去十三年里
and in the last 13 years
他还完成了苏格兰和英格兰地区
has done over 200 of the hardest sports climbing routes
最难的二百条攀登路线
in both Scotland and England.
作为谋生手段 他在格拉斯哥
Alan also needs to earn a living
一家新建的攀岩学校中工作
and works at the new Climbing Academy in Glasgow.
从小到大 可以说
Climbing is pretty much the be all and end all of my life
埃兰·卡西迪
攀登几乎是我生命的全部
and it has been since a very young age.
这是我与父亲的共同爱好
I think it was a shared passion with my father as well.
他带我入门 留下了许多的美好回忆
He introduced me to it. It has a lot of happy memories.
随着我的成长 我始终忘不了
As I was growing up, I was always aware of him going away,
他每逢周末与朋友一起去攀岩的情形
disappearing at weekends with his friend to go climbing.
他第一次带我去的那天我非常高兴
It was really exciting on the first day that I got taken out
我妈妈还给我照相留念
to do that with him, and my mum has a photograph of me
我肩上扛着绳子 笑得非常开心
with the rope round my shoulder with a big beaming face.
我第一次像父亲一样去攀岩
You know, the first chance to do my dad did,
他在我心中一直都是个英雄
so he was always like the hero.
攀岩运动并不轻松
It's an obscure thing to do, climbing rocks,
但它能奇迹般地牢牢吸引你的生活
but it's amazing how it can take hold of your life.
追随着这个信仰 戴夫和埃兰一路向南
With that in mind, Dave and Alan are heading south
奔向攀登者的终极奖杯 挑战新路线
for that ultimate climbers prize - new routes.
苏格兰
他们只有一周时间
They've got just one week
哈德良长城
计划的终点为德比郡山顶洞
and plan to end it in Peak Cavern in Derbyshire.
约克郡山谷
但在南下的路上
But, on the way south,
有一个他们不能错过的地方
there's an opportunity they just can't miss,
山顶洞
英格兰
因此他们将在约克郡山谷稍作停留
so they'll be making a stop in the Yorkshire Dales.
为什么是约克郡 答案很简单
And why Yorkshire? The answer's simple.
作为英国最大的郡
England's largest county contains
这里有着全国最令人兴奋的众多洞穴
some of Britain's most exciting cave systems.
最受当地人喜爱的就是叮当壶穴
One of the local favourites is Jingling Pot.
从来没有人在这里攀爬过
No-one's ever climbed here before.
戴夫和埃兰准备打破这一纪录
Dave and Alan plan to change that.
但是地下的情况高深莫测
But, life underground is unfamiliar
令人毛骨悚然
and the territory, intimidating.
人们热爱攀登的重要原因之一就是去感受
One big reason why climbers go climbing is to feel the space
群山环绕的辽阔感觉
of the mountains around you,
因此置身于阴暗潮湿的狭隘洞穴中
so being in a really enclosed, wet, dark space
并非什么吸引人的差事
in a cave isn't always such an attractive thing.
我想许多人都认为我疯了
I think a lot of people think I'm absolutely mental,
因为大多数攀登者不会愿意
cos it's not really the sort of thing that most climbers get up to,
深入洞坑探索攀岩线路
going down potholes to put up routes.
我的许多岩友都认为这个行为很疯狂
So, I think, most of my climbing friends thought it was really crazy,
我自己也觉得这挺疯狂的
and I think I thought it was pretty crazy as well.
我也说不清
So, I don't know.
在接下来的几天里
During the next few days,
两人将要学着适应陌生的新环境
the climbers will have to learn to adapt to a strange new world.
人们认为攀岩是危险的
People think climbing's dangerous,
但攀登者看到探洞穴者会想
but climbers look at what potholers do and think,
"不 他们才是疯子"
"No, they are nutters."
英格尔顿村北几英里外
A few miles north of Ingleton village,
有一条小路横穿连绵的约克郡群山
there's a short walk across the rolling Yorkshire hills
直达叮当壶穴的入口
to the entrance of Jingling Pot.
就是这里吗
Ah, is this it here?
确实看起来很滑
Certainly looks pretty slippery.
-非常潮湿 -而且很黑 -还很黑
- Definitely pretty damp. - And dark. - And dark!
深不见底
Woah, it goes a long way down.
看下行的摄影机拍到的 太不可思议了
You can just see down the next shaft. It just looks amazing.
这些沟槽
There's all these flutings
就是流水雕刻出来的
where the water's, like, scalloped it out.
看起来很漂亮
It looks really beautiful, actually.
我想攀岩者同其他人一样
Rock climbers, I guess they appreciate as much as any folk
都会觉得这种被水或冰川
the sort of forms that rock takes from nature,
自然雕琢出的岩石非常迷人
formed by water or glaciers or whatever.
我从没见过如此景观 真难以置信
But I've never seen anything like this. It's incredible.
开始攀登之前 埃兰和戴夫顺着一系列
To start the climb, Alan and Dave must descend down a narrow series
被称为侧裂的狭窄通道滑到穴底
of slippery tracks and shafts known as lateral cleft.
壶穴底部与大洞穴融为一体
When they get to the bottom, they'll be in a large cavern.
之后才能踏上通往光明的攀岩之路
Only then can they start their climb back into daylight.
他们的攀登离不开当地洞穴研究者
They can't make this climb without the expert help
马特·伯克的专业帮助
of local caver, Matt Burke.
多年来他一直推崇洞穴攀岩项目
For years, he's been telling climbers they should enter his world.
我想如果更多的攀登者了解地下的情况
I think that if more climbers knew what we had underground,
