| Fred Becky，在登山界鼎鼎大名的人物，他已经80多岁了，是世界上攀登未登峰最多的人，也是年级最大的登山者，还没有停止攀登。目前，他刚从亚拉神山下来，在成都停留。为了让国内的广大山友更加了解这位传奇人物，翻译了他的介绍。 
Fred Becky needs no introduction. His name is synonymous with climbing in North America. He has probably done more first ascents than anyone on the planet. His climbing resume is unfathomable. No one has climbed more climbs and more places than Fred Becky. All other climbers on earth are greenhorn beginner up-starts compared to Fred Becky. From Alaskan mountains, Canadian peaks, Cascade alpine routes, Sierra rock adventures, crags everywhere, Big Walls, Mexican rock mountains, and sandstone towers in Monument Valley, Fred has left his mark, and usually by some first ascent route too. Fred Becky，勿需介绍，在北美，他的名字是攀登的代名词。他也许完成了世上最多的首攀。他的攀登履历难以企及。世上没有比Fred攀登更多的人了，其他的攀登者在他面前都是追赶的新手。从阿拉斯加山脉，加拿大群峰，Cascade alpine线路，Sierra rock adventure，各地的峭壁，Big Wall,墨西哥岩石山，到纪念谷沙岩塔，Fred留下了印记，有些还是首次攀登线路。 Ive climbed a number of Fred Becky routes in the southwest; and got plenty scared (i.e. WAY scared), on his visionary and progressive routes, done way back when. Now in his upper 80s, hes still at it. While most people his age are barely walking around with walkers, Fred is leading climbs at Joshua Tree (and other places too.) Hes still traveling around to climbing areas and crags, shakin it up, and getting down to the business. 我（笔者）攀爬过Fred在西南部的一些线路，下来后对他充满想象和不断提升的线路感到恐惧（路线恐惧）。现在他年逾八旬，他还致力于此。当大部分人到了他这个年纪几乎不能正常走路，Fred却在约书亚树丛（美国的一个国家公园）和其他一些地方引领攀登。 他一直还在到处旅行去攀登峭壁，让人震惊，并以此为事业。 Rumors of an early Fred Becky climb in Joshua Tree call," The White Elephant" have been floating around campfire circles for years. Some say the climb is up by Indian Head, some swear its in the South Wonderland of Rocks, some say it doesnt exist. Maybe the White Elephant is an urban ledgend, but Fred is the real thing. Scrappy, crusty, and older than the dinosaurs, Fred reciently came to Joshua Tree and we have the picture this time to prove it..(Extra , extra). Im hoping to climb until Im 60.....and hes taking that age and gone nearly 3 decades further. Its a tough job, but somebodys got to do it. Fred Becky RULES!. 传言Fred早期在约书亚树丛攀登营地附近的白象（线路名称），有人说那次攀登是靠印地安首领，有人发誓那是在South Wonderland of Rocks, 有人说那根本不存在。也许白象是个都市传奇，但Fred却是真实存在的。好斗、粗暴、比恐龙还老的Fred最近到了约书亚树丛，这次我们拍照证明其实。我希望到我60岁的时候还能爬，而他已经那个年纪都快大我30岁了。这是艰巨的，有人却做到了。这就是Fred Becky法则！ |
