ʻO kahi mea haʻuki, mea hulahula, a me ka heihei ski i kona wā kamaliʻi, ʻaʻole he malihini ʻo Emily Harrington i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana i nā palena o kona hiki kino a i ʻole ka lawe ʻana i nā pilikia. Akā, ʻaʻole ia a hiki i kona 10 mau makahiki, ke piʻi ʻo ia i luna o kahi paia pōhaku kū kau kiʻekiʻe, ua makaʻu mua ʻo ia.

"ʻO ka manaʻo o ke ea ma lalo o koʻu mau wāwae he mea hoʻoweliweli maoli nō ia, akā i ka manawa like, ua huki ʻia wau i kēlā ʻano manaʻo ma ke ʻano," wahi a Harrington.. "Manaʻo wau ua manaʻo wau he paʻakikī ia."

ʻO kēlā piʻina puʻuwai puʻuwai mua loa ma Boulder, ua hoʻā ʻia ke kuko no ka piʻi manuahi ʻana, kahi haʻuki kahi e piʻi ai ka poʻe pāʻani i ka paia me ko lākou mau lima a me nā wāwae wale nō, me ke kaula o luna a me ka pūhaka e hoʻopaʻa ai iā lākou ke hāʻule lākou. I nā makahiki mua o kāna piʻi piʻi, ua lilo ʻo Harrington i ʻelima mau manawa no ka Piʻipiʻi National Champion no ka piʻi haʻuki a loaʻa kahi wahi ma ka poli o ka International Federation of Sport Climbing's 2005 World Championship. Akā ua ʻōlelo ʻo 34-makahiki i kēia manawa ʻaʻole ʻo ia i makaʻu no ka hiki ke hāʻule i ka pali a i ʻole ka ʻeha nui. Ma kahi o ia, ua wehewehe ʻo ia i ka nui o kona makaʻu i ka hōʻike ʻana - me ka manaʻo he mamao loa ka honua - a, ʻoi aku, ka manaʻolana o ka holomua.

"Ua hakakā maoli wau me ka manaʻo makaʻu wau," wahi a Harrington. "Ke kuʻi mau nei wau iaʻu iho. Ma ka hopena, ua hoʻopau wau i kaʻu mau makaʻu mua loa no ka mea ua hoʻomaka wau e hana i nā hoʻokūkū piʻi, akā manaʻo wau i koʻu makemake e lanakila a kūleʻa i kēlā mau hoʻokūkū ʻano o ka hoʻokahuli i ka makaʻu a me ka hopohopo i kekahi ala." (Pili: Ke kū i mua o koʻu mau makaʻu i kōkua hope loa iaʻu e hoʻokahuli i kuʻu hopohopo nui)

ʻElima mau makahiki i hala aku nei, ua mākaukau ʻo Harrington e piʻi i kāna pae kiʻekiʻe aʻe a kau i kāna mau hiʻohiʻona i ka lanakila ʻana i ka El Capitan kaulana loa, kahi monolith granite 3,000 kapuaʻi ma waena o ka National Park ʻo Yosemite. ʻO ia ka manawa maoli ka makaʻu maoli o ka haʻuki - o ka ʻeha ʻeha a i ʻole ka make ʻana paha. "Ua hoʻokumu wau i kēia pahuhopu nui noʻu iho ʻaʻole wau i noʻonoʻo he hiki, a makaʻu loa wau i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana a makemake wau e hemolele," hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia. "Akā ua ʻike wau ʻaʻole maikaʻi loa ia." (BTW, lilo i mea hemolele i ka hale hoʻoikaika kino me nā drawbacks nui.)

I kēlā manawa i ka wā a Harrington i ʻōlelo ai ua hoʻololi hou ʻia kāna ʻike o ka makaʻu.Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua ʻike ʻo ia ʻaʻole ʻo ka makaʻu kahi mea e hilahila ai a i ʻole e "hoʻopiʻi ʻia," akā he manaʻo maoli maoli nō ke kanaka e ʻae ʻia. "Aia wale ka makaʻu i loko o mākou, a ke manaʻo nei au he mea kūʻē iki ke ʻano o ka hilahila a puni," wahi āna. "No laila, ma kahi o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e lanakila i koʻu makaʻu, ua hoʻomaka wau e ʻike a me ke kumu o ia mea, a laila e hana i nā hana e hana pū me ia, a ma ke ʻano, e hoʻohana iā ia i ikaika."

No laila, pehea ka maikaʻi o ka unuhi ʻana o kēia ʻano "hoʻomaopopo i ka makaʻu a hana ʻia" i loko o ke ao maoli, ʻoiai ʻo Harrington he mau mile ma luna o ka honua i ka wā o ka piʻi manuahi? Ke hōʻoia nei i nā ʻano ʻona āpau, a laila hana i nā ʻanuʻu pēpē - ma ke ʻano maoli a me ka hoʻohālikelike - e lohi mālie i ka piko, wehewehe ʻo ia. "He ʻano like ia me ka loaʻa ʻana o kāu palena a aneane hiki ʻole ke neʻe ma ʻō aku o kēlā me kēia manawa a hiki i kou pae ʻana i ka pahuhopu," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "ʻO nā manawa he nui, manaʻo wau ua hoʻonohonoho mākou i nā pahuhopu a ʻano nui loa lākou a mamao loa i ka hiki ʻana, akā ke wāwahi ʻoe i lalo i nā liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana." (E pili ana: 3 hewa i hana ʻia e ka poʻe i ka wā e hoʻonohonoho ai i nā pahuhopu hoʻoikaika kino, e like me Jen Widerstrom)

Akā ʻaʻole hiki ke lanakila ʻo Harrington - kahi mea i hōʻoia ʻia i ka makahiki i hala i ka wā i hāʻule ai ʻo ia i 30 kapuaʻi i ka wā o kāna hoʻāʻo ʻekolu i ka lanakila ʻana iā El Capitan, e hoʻopaʻa iā ia i ka haukapila me kahi ʻeha a me ka hōʻeha ʻeha. ʻO ka mea hāʻawi nui i ka hāʻule maikaʻi ʻole: Ua ʻoluʻolu loa ʻo Harrington, hilinaʻi nui, i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "ʻAʻole wau i ʻike i ka makaʻu," i ʻōlelo hou mai. "ʻO ia ka mea i koi hou iaʻu i ka pae o ka hoʻomanawanui ʻana a ʻike i ka wā e hoʻi ai i hope a pehea e hoʻololi ai i kēlā no ka wā e hiki mai ana."

Ua hana: i Nowemapa, Harrington hope hōʻuluʻulu ʻo El Capitan, lilo i wahine mua e manuahi ka piʻi ʻana i ke ala ʻo Golden Gate o ka pōhaku ma lalo o 24 mau hola. ʻO ka loaʻa ʻana o ka ʻike e pono ai, ka hoʻoikaika kino, a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana - a me kahi pōmaikaʻi - ua kōkua iā ia e hoʻoponopono i ka holoholona i kēia makahiki, akā ʻo Harrington ka hapa nui o kāna mau makahiki o ka kūleʻa a hiki i kēia ala waho o ka pahu e makaʻu ai. "Manaʻo wau he aha ka mea i kōkua iaʻu e hana me ka piʻi ʻana i ka ʻoihana," wehewehe ʻo ia. "Ua hiki iaʻu ke hoʻāʻo i nā mea i hiki ʻole ke ʻike ʻia ma mua, malia paha he keu ʻoi loa o ka hana, a hoʻomau i ka hoʻāʻo ʻana iā lākou no ka mea he ʻike maikaʻi ia a me ka hoʻokolohua maikaʻi i ka ʻimi ʻana i ka naʻau kanaka."

A ʻo kēia ʻimi ʻuhane a me ka ulu pilikino e hele mai me ka ʻapo ʻana i ka makaʻu - ʻaʻole ka kaulana a i ʻole nā ​​poʻo inoa - e hoʻokau iā Harrington e piʻi i kahi kiʻekiʻe i kēia lā. "ʻAʻole wau i hele i waho me ka manaʻo e kūleʻa, makemake wale wau e loaʻa kahi pahuhopu hoihoi a ʻike pehea i holo ai," i ʻōlelo ai ʻo ia. "Akā ʻo kekahi o nā kumu aʻu e piʻi ai, ʻo ia ka noʻonoʻo hohonu e pili ana i nā mea e like me ka pilikia a me nā ʻano pilikia aʻu e makemake ai e lawe. ma mua o koʻu manaʻo. "
