Taking a deep breath, Chu Qian closed her eyes and kept her mind calm and peaceful.
After finding her inner balance, she opened her eyes, which were filled with determination and courage.
Chu Qian tentatively stretched out her left hand and lightly traced the rock wall with her ten fingers, looking for every small hole and protrusion that could be used to support her body weight.
After careful groping, she finally found a sharp protrusion. She grabbed it hard with the fingers of her left hand and seemed to have found the first point on which she could apply force.
After getting the first support point, Chu Qian freed up her right hand and continued to carefully explore the rock wall, hoping to find a point where she could use her right hand to exert force.
After a while, the fingers of her right hand finally felt a rough surface, and it seemed that she could barely insert her fingers and exert force.
After finding a point where she could put her weight on with both hands, Chu Qian slowly shifted her body weight to her hands, while her feet gently touched the rock wall below, looking for a point where she could stand.
After careful testing, I finally felt a small gap with my left foot, which I could press with my toes and apply gentle pressure.
The right foot also found a small but prominent point not far away, where it could barely stand.
After getting the support of her hands and feet, Chu Qian took a deep breath and began to slowly move her body upward.
Her fingers dug hard into the rock, and her feet tentatively moved upward little by little.
In this way, with the joint action of her limbs, Chu Qian finally began this difficult but exciting rock climbing journey.
She knew there would be greater difficulties waiting ahead, but bravely took the first step forward.
When Chu Qian started to climb this almost vertical cliff, she could still maintain a relatively calm attitude.
She grasped two slightly protruding parts of the rock wall with both hands, and stepped on a small, flatter area below with her feet.
Chu Qian took a deep breath, and then began to move her hands and feet, moving upward rhythmically and slowly.
She tried her best to keep the alternating movement of her hands and feet. After moving one hand or foot, she moved the other side, so as to ensure the stability of the body's center of gravity.
The first two meters of climbing went fairly smoothly, and Chu Qian could basically find a focus point that was easier to grasp.
But when she climbed to about 5 meters high, the sheer rock face started to really come into play.
The rock surface here is extremely rough and has various sharp edges.
Chu Qian tried hard to observe, but it was difficult to find a protruding part that was enough for her fingers to grasp.
She could only use her fingertips to dig into the tiny cracks on the rock surface as much as possible, and then stand on tiptoes, barely holding on.
This kind of movement puts a lot of load on the fingers and calf muscles.
Chu Qian felt that her fingers were under tremendous pressure and might be cut by the sharp edge of the rock at any time.
Her calves firmly supported her body, because the vertical rock wall forced her to stand straight with her whole body, barely touching the ground on her toes.
At this time, Chu Qian still maintained her original calmness. Although there were beads of sweat on her forehead, her breathing did not become rapid at all.
The cliff, which was over 80 degrees, made her whole body stick to the rock wall, and she might lose her balance if she was not careful.
In order to ensure safety, Chu Qian could only slow down and pause for a moment every time she took a small step to observe whether there were any points around her that she could grab or step on.
This made her climb very slow.
But Chu Qian did not give up. She breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the top bit by bit.
Facing the nearly vertical steep cliff, Chu Qian frowned delicately.
She pinched a small protruding rock in front of her with her ten fingers, and her fingers turned white from excessive exertion.
This small protrusion ignited Chu Qian's hope of continuing to climb upward, and she had to hold on to it.
Chu Qian's feet touched the bottom very carefully, trying to find any point of strength that could slightly support her weight.
Her feet already had some slight cramps due to being pressed vertically against the wall for a long time and unable to fully touch the ground.
But Chu Qian didn't flinch at all. She gritted her teeth and slowly moved her toes and body's center of gravity.
In this way, with her hands grabbing the protruding rocks and her feet barely exerting strength, Chu Qian began to move upward slowly and steadily.
She was not very fast, as any small mistake could result in a fall.
So Chu Qian had to be careful and at the same time maintain great concentration.
Time passed by, and in about five minutes, Chu Qian only moved up a distance of about eight meters.
This may be a very slow pace for a professional rock climber.
But for Chu Qian, this is the ultimate speed that she can do her best to ensure safety.
After all, the cliff in front of him was so steep that it was almost vertical, and the only points of strength were so small that he could only rely on the strength of his fingers.
Therefore, Chu Qian could only move slowly, firmly grasping any point where she could draw strength, and always pay attention to the balance of her body's center of gravity.
Although the progress was slow, every move Chu Qian made was extremely cautious and steady.
This gave Yang Hao and all the viewers watching below an incomparable sense of peace of mind.
This represents the perfect combination of courage, perseverance and stability, which are rare qualities in rock climbing.
At this time, a big difficulty appeared in front of Chu Qian - a large piece of almost completely smooth rock wall with no points to grasp.
She frowned and carefully observed the large surface in front of her, trying to find any small protrusions that could be used.
Just when Chu Qian was in trouble, her right eye sharply caught a small protrusion the size of a finger about two meters above and to the left!
Chu Qian's eyes lit up, this was her chance to break through the dangerous situation!
She tentatively stretched out her left hand and stretched her fingers towards the small piece.
Because the distance was quite far, Chu Qian's fingers were waving randomly in the air, unable to catch the target.
"Oh my God, this distance is too challenging!" Nervous comments appeared in the barrage.
"Come on! You can definitely do it!"
"Use all your strength! Try again!"
Chu Qian took a deep breath and stretched out her left hand again. This time she reached forward with force. When her fingertips finally touched the small protrusion, she used all her strength to grab it!
"Caught!" Chu Qian shouted in her heart.
"Awesome!" The barrage also cheered.
Chu Qian slowly shifted her center of gravity to her left hand, and her right hand also followed the trend to find a new focus.
At this moment, she felt a tingling sensation on the fingertips of her left hand. It turned out that the edge of the small protrusion was very sharp and was constantly rubbing against her finger!
But Chu Qian frowned and endured it, still holding on to the protrusion with her left hand, and her right hand finally found new support.
The barrage has exploded:
"My heart aches, sister, this hurts just looking at it!"
"This cliff is too steep, it's almost 90 degrees!"
"Sister Chu Qian is so amazing, she can climb up here!"
"I can't even look at it, I'm so nervous!"
"Come on! You can definitely do it!"
