Хилл, Линн: биография

Пояснения

1. англ. had to smile and do cutesy little routines on the floor
2. англ. My awareness of issues like women's rights and the struggle for racial freedom began to grow
3. англ. I was awed, but not just by the know-how and hard work she'd put into her ascent. It was the courage and confidence that it took to put herself on the line, to do something on the cutting edge—to climb one of the world's greatest big walls in one of the most challenging ways possible: solo. She had succeeded and she'd given women climbers like me enormous confidence to be ourselves and not feel limited by being a minority in a male-dominated sport.
4. англ. women had to contend with an army of men trying to maintain Camp 4 as a guy's domain
5. англ. back then was directed by a fraternity of men, and there was little encouragement of, or frankly, inclination for women to participate. Yet women climbers were out there.
6. англ. a ragged occupying army, annoying park rangers by eluding camp fees, overstaying their welcome, and comporting themselves like gypsies
7. англ. these dirt-poor days ... [as] among the best and the most carefree of my life, and though my friends were often scoundrels, I felt their friendship convincingly.
8. англ. a few death-defying experiences on routes with long run-outs
9. англ. that's when I knew for certain that this woman had extraordinary talent
10. англ. one of the boldest leads I've ever seen ... I had tried leading it. I knew you had to totally commit to doing the moves, otherwise the chance of surviving would be minimal. Those are the moments that really stand out—when you see someone totally on the edge.
11. англ. In one moment I had, to some degree, thrown out years of climbing philosophy ... The subtle advantage of hanging on the rope to figure out the crux moves gave me the added information that helped me learn and eventually succeed on the route. The old style of climbing suddenly seemed rigid, limited, and contrived
12. англ. perhaps the most difficult first ascent in the north country at the time
13. англ. the best climber in the Gunks; Ганки (The Gunks) — другое название хребта Шванганк.
14. англ. no man was climbing significantly better
15. англ. wildly acrobatic climbs
16. англ. There were a lot of politics involved, a lot of nationalism and disorganization. The rules seemed to change during the event. I remember asking about the disparity between prize money for men and women. The only response I got was, 'If the women climb without their tops, then we'll pay them the same.'
17. англ. if there wasn't a Catherine Destivelle or Luisa Iovane ... or whoever there, then it would be anticlimactic.
18. англ. such a different activity than going out and climbing on rock ... You're in front of all these people ... You're there to perform.
19. англ. the purpose of climbing is to adapt yourself to the rock. You work on yourself to overcome the obstacle of the rock ... I believe climbers should leave the rock as unaltered as possible ... you have a responsibility not only to put in safe bolts but to put them in logical places—to do the least possible alteration of the rock to establish the best possible experience for others
20. at that moment Lynn Hill was arguably the best climber in the world, male or female
21. англ. the thing I didn't like too much towards the end was how focused it was on just indoor climbing and training. I didn't start out training on artificial walls, and that's not really eve something that I wanted to do as a full-time profession
22. англ. bad sportsmanship, rule bending, and monumental egos that infested the competitions
23. англ. carefully coordinated sequence of opposite pressures between [her] feet, hands, elbows, and hips against the shallow walls of the corner
24. англ. the biggest thing that has ever been done on rock
25. англ. passed men's dominance in climbing and left them behind
26. англ. I feel that right now, it doesn't have to be all about me and my experiences. I was ready to begin a new role; to face new challenges and adventures as a mother. It's a good learning experience adjusting to the sacrifices that need to be made.
27. англ. perhaps the most ridiculous stunt I ever did
28. англ. He would take my writings and organize them, and he encouraged me to elaborate on certain elements. He emphasized that telling the story is what's important, so he really helped me think about what I wanted to say, and figure out who my audience was.
29. англ. I thought, well, why would you expect that you automatically could do it? Just because I was a small girl, was I not to be able to do it? It was a memorable experience because it occurred to me then that other people had a different view of what I should or shouldn't be capable of doing. I think that people should just do whatever they can do or want to do. It shouldn't be a matter of if they're a man or a woman. It shouldn't be a matter of one's sex.
30. англ. I think they should have women compete on the same climbs as the men, and if the women can't do the climbs, then they shouldn't be competing
31. англ. spectators want to see people get to the top. And since most women aren't climbing at the same level as the top men, it's necessary to design a route that's a little easier for women
32. англ. 
33. англ. theoretically somebody as short as me could be the best in the world because it doesn't depend so much on height now ... And it's a psychological thing more than a physical thing.
34. англ. there's a lot less importance and prestige placed on women in climbing, no matter what your ability is
