(2023,济南模拟)Many of us have heard of Alex Honnold,.who made history in20I8when
he became the first man to climb EI Capitan without ropes or safety equipment.But his
mother,Dierdre Wolownick,just became the oldest woman to conquer the famous peak:she
reached the top on September 23rd-the morning of her 70th birthday.
Dierdre,the writer and language teacher,decided to take up climbing as a means of
connecting more with her son.In 2008,accompanied by her son Alex,she visited a climbing
gym and completed 12 routes that first day with his help,but it was months before she worked
up the courage to return and practice on her own.
Dierdre became committed to the sport,and began to meet friends and sharpen her
skills.She scaled parts of Half Dome Trail and Cathedral Peak at a time when many
people at her age are thinking about retirement and slowing down.The writer would go on to
publish a book about her climbing experiences with Alex called The Sharp End of Life:A
Mother's Story.
"As a mother,I am impressed by this role-exchange process.Parents and children often
wind up changing roles in life as they get older,"she writes in her book."But never,I
thought,is that transformation as obvious as when they climb together."
On September 23rd,Dierdre and her friends set out in the dark,at 6:00a.m.The route
is steep (enough to require all-fours,grabbing rocks and trees and whatever else will
hold the weight.Yet despite all difficulties,the team made it to the top."It was really inspiring
to watch her and then to have her on top with all of us,"said one of Dierdre's friends."There
was a special look on everyone's face.We knew where we were.We knew how amazing the
moment truly was.”
