    stood before El Captain, a huge rock almost 1.2 kilometers high. Mark had long dreamed to climb El Captain
    when he was a child. At the age of twenty-one, he had fallen while climbing mountain, losing his legs. But he
    never lost his love for life.
         Mark knew he couldn't finish the climb alone, but his friend Peter would be there to lend a helping hand.
    They thought it would take seven days to reach the top. Now Peter climbed about 30 meters up and hit a piton
    (岩钉) into the rock. Fastening (拴紧) one end of a 50-meter rope (绳子) to the piton, he let the other end of
    the rope fall down. Mark caught the rope and fastened it to his belt. He next reached above his head and
    fastened a T-bar (丁字铁) to the rope. Mark took a deep breath, pushed the T-bar up almost as far as his arms
    could reach, and began the first pull-up. High above, Peter let out a cheer, "You're on your way."
         For the first four days the two men progressed upward (向上) without accident. But on the fifth day, a
    very strong wind began to blow, making it hard for Mark to hold on to his rope. But Mark kept on pushing up
    the T-bar and pulling himself up.
         It took them one day more than they had expected. But as the two heads appeared the group of people
    waiting on the top went wild with joy.
