UMaureen ("Mo") u-Beck usenokuba wazalwa ngesandla esinye, kodwa oko akuzange kumnqande ekuqhubekeni nephupha lakhe lokuba yiparaclimber yokhuphiswano. Namhlanje, umntu oneminyaka engama-30 ubudala ovela kwiColorado Front Range uqokelele i-CV kunye nezihloko ezine zelizwe kunye neentshatsheli zehlabathi ezimbini eziphumelele kwinqanaba labasetyhini.

U-Beck, osebenza njengonozakuzaku weParadox Sports, wafumana uthando lwakhe lokukhwela intaba eneminyaka nje eli-12 ubudala. “Ndandikwinkampu yeGirl Scouts ndaza ndazama nje ukuzonwabisa,” utshilo. "Ndandinomdla kwangoko ndaza ndaqala ukuthenga iincwadi kunye neemagazini malunga nokunyuka kwentaba. Ekugqibeleni, ndaqala ukugcina imali yam yokugcina abantwana ukuze ndibhukishe isikhokelo kube kanye ngonyaka kwipaki yesizwe endikhulele ecaleni kwayo, ukuze nje ndibonise iintambo."

Ukunyuka kunokubonwa njengento enokuba nzima kwisandla esinye, kodwa u-Beck ulapha ukukuxelela ngenye indlela. Uhlukile, kodwa andiqondi ukuba kunzima njengoko abanye abantu banokucinga, utshilo. "Yonke into imalunga nokusombulula iphazili ngomzimba wakho-ngoko ke umntu ononyawo oluhlanu uza kukhwela ngendlela eyahlukileyo kunomntu ononyawo ezintandathu kuba umzimba womntu wahlukile. Sonke silinganiselwe kwaye asinamida ekunyukeni njengoko sisenza ngokwethu."

Ku-Beck, ukunyuka kwahamba ukusuka kumsebenzi wempelaveki ukuya kwinto engakumbi xa wayesekholejini. "Ndiqale ukubhalisela ukhuphiswano nangona bekungekho zigaba zilungelelanayo, ndisazi ukuba ndiza kuza ekugqibeleni," utshilo. "Kodwa ndangena ukuzonwabisa kwaye ndayisebenzisa njengesizathu sokudibana nabantu abatsha."

Ngelo xesha, u-Beck wayechithe ubomi bakhe bonke ephepha uluntu oluziqhelanisayo lokunyuka ngenxa yokuba wayengafuni ukuchonga njengomntu okhubazekileyo. "Andizange ndicinge ukuba ndohlukile, ubukhulu becala ngenxa yokuba abazali bam bengazange bandiphathe ngale ndlela. Nokuba ndigqibile ukufumana into yokufakelwa, ndayiphosa ngokungathi yayipholile. Bendiya kuba kwindawo yokudlala ndixelela abahlobo ngesandla sam seerobhothi kwaye bangacinga ukuba ilungile. Ngandlel' ithile, bendisoloko ndikwazi ukonwaba nayo," utshilo.

Oko kwakuthetha ukuba wayewanqanda amaqela enkxaso alo naluphi na uhlobo, engaziva ngathi uyayidinga, utsho. Ngaphezu koko, bendicinga ukuba uluntu olunjalo lugxile ekukhubazekeni kwabantu, kodwa bendiphosisile kakhulu.

Ngo-2013, u-Beck wagqiba ekubeni enze umcimbi wakhe wokuqala obizwa ngokuba yi-Gimps kwi-Ice. "Ndacinga ukuba xa beneligama elithi 'gimp' kwisihloko, aba bafana kufuneka babe noburharha," utshilo. "Emva kokuba ndifike apho, ndakhawuleza ndaqonda ukuba kwakungekho malunga nokukhubazeka komntu wonke, yayimalunga nothando lwethu oluhlangeneyo lokunyuka." (Ufuna ukuzama ukunyuka kwamatye? Nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi)

U-Beck wamenywa kukhuphiswano lwakhe lokuqala lokunyuka eVail, CO, ngabantu awadibana nabo kweso siganeko. “Bendiqala ngqa ukufumana ithuba lokuzithelekisa nabanye abantu abakhubazekileyo kwaye ibingamava amangalisayo,” utshilo.

Kunyaka olandelayo, u-Beck waya kukhuphiswano lokuqala lokuhamba kwelizwe e-Atlanta. Ndothuswa nje kukuba bangaphi abantu abazibeka phaya kwaye bayayilandela, utshilo.

Ukubeka kuloo msitho kwanika abakhweli ithuba lokwenza iQela laseMelika kunye nokukhuphisana eYurophu kubuntshatsheli behlabathi. "Andizange ndiyicinge loo nto ngelo xesha, kodwa emva kokuba ndiphumelele abahlali, ndacelwa ukuba ndiyafuna na ukuya eSpain, kwaye bendifana nokuthi, 'heee!'" Utshilo u-Beck.

Kulapho waqala khona umsebenzi wakhe wobungcali. U-Beck waya eSpain emele iQela lase-USA kunye nomnye umntu okhuphukayo kwaye wakhuphisana nabanye abafazi abane abavela kwihlabathi jikelele. "Ndigqibile ukuphumelela apho, kodwa ngokuqinisekileyo bendingenguye onamandla endinokuba naye," utshilo. "Ngokunyaniseka, isizathu esona sizathu sokuba ndiphumelele kukuba bendikhwele ixesha elide kunamanye amantombazana kwaye ndinamava amaninzi."

Ngelixa uninzi luthathela ingqalelo ukuphumelela ubuntshatsheli behlabathi impumelelo enkulu, u-Beck wagqiba kwelokuba ayijonge njengethuba lokuba ngcono. “Ukusuka apho yayimalunga nokubona indlela endinokomelela ngayo, ukuba ndingafumana ngcono kangakanani, nokuba ndinokuzityhala kangakanani na,” utsho.

Kuwo wonke umsebenzi wakhe, u-Beck wayesebenzisa ukukhwela njengomthombo wakhe woqeqesho, kodwa waqonda ukuba ukuze abe phezulu kumdlalo wakhe, kuya kufuneka athathe izinto phezulu. “Xa abakhweli befikelela kwithafa elifana nelam, baguqukela kuqeqesho lwamandla eminwe, uqeqesho olunqamlezayo, ukuphakamisa iintsimbi, nokubaleka ukuze baphucule izakhono zabo,” utshilo. "Ndiyazi ukuba yile nto kufuneka ndiqale ukuyenza."

Ngelishwa, kwakungekho lula njengoko wayecinga. Uthi: "Andizange ndakhe ndasinda ngaphambili," utshilo. "Kodwa bekunyanzelekile- ukuba ndinganeli nje ukomeleza isiseko sam kodwa ndincedise negxalaba lam ukugcina ulungelelwano. Ngaphandle koko, ndiza kufumana icala elininzi ngakumbi nangakumbi ngokusebenzisa isandla sam." (Idibeneyo: Aba badlali beBadass baya kwenza ukuba ufuna ukuthatha i-Rock Climbing)

Ukufunda ukwenza olunye uqeqesho lwemveli lokunyuka kwafika nemingeni yayo. "Kwakunzima kum, ngakumbi xa kuziwa ekomelezeni iminwe yam kunye nayo nayiphi na into yokuxhoma okanye yokutsala," utshilo.

Emva kwezilingo ezininzi kunye nephutha, u-Beck wagqiba ukuguqulwa kokufunda kwezo zifundo ezenzelwe yena. Kule nkqubo, wazama ngayo yonke into ukusuka kwizinamathiselo ezibiza imali eninzi ngokufakelwa kwakhe ekusebenziseni imitya, amabhanti, kunye neehuku zokumnceda ukuba enze imithambo efana noomatshini bokushicilela bebhentshi, ii-biceps curls, kunye nemigca emileyo.

Namhlanje, u-Beck uzama ukuchitha iintsuku ezine ngeveki kwindawo yokuzivocavoca kwaye uthi uhlala esebenza kwiindlela zokubonisa ukuba ulungile njengaye nawuphi na omnye umkhweli. "Ndiyayithanda le nto apho ndicinga ukuba abantu bathi 'Ewe ulungile, kodwa ufumana konke oku ingqalelo kuba ungumntu okhwela ngesandla esinye,' utshilo.

Kungenxa yoko le nto egqibe kwelokuba azibekele injongo yokugqibezela ukunyuka ngenqanaba lokulinganisa lika-5.12. Kwabo kuni abangaziyo, uninzi lwezifundo zokukhwela zinika ibakala kwindlela yokunyuka ukuze kubonwe ubunzima kunye nobungozi bokunyuka kuyo. Ezi ngokuqhelekileyo zivela kwiklasi ye-1 (ukuhamba kwindlela) ukuya kwiklasi ye-5 (apho ukunyuka kwezobugcisa kuqala). Ukunyuka kweeklasi ezi-5 zahlulwe zangamacandelwana asusela ku-5.0 ukuya ku-5.15. (Idibeneyo: USasha DiGiulian wenza iMbali njengoMfazi wokuqala ukuphumelela i-700-Meter Mora Mora Climb)

"Ngandlela-thile, ndacinga ukuba ukugqiba i-5.12 kuya kundenza ndibe 'yinyani' yokwenyuka-ngesandla okanye hayi," utshilo u-Beck. "Ndandifuna nje ukutshintsha incoko kwaye ndenze abantu bathi, 'Wow, loo nto inzima nangezandla zombini.'

U-Beck ukwazile ukufeza injongo yakhe kwangoko kule nyanga kwaye sele ebonakalisiwe kulo nyaka weReEL ROCK 12 weFilimu, ebalaselisa abakhweli abonwabisayo behlabathi, bebhala ngeeholide zabo ezibambekayo.

Ukukhangela phambili, u-Beck angathanda ukunika ubuntshatsheli behlabathi enye ukuhamba ngelixa eqhubeka nokubonisa ukuba nabani na unokunyuka ukuba babeke ingqondo yabo kuyo.

"Ndicinga ukuba abantu kufuneka basebenzise iyantlukwano zabo ukufikelela kwisakhono sabo esipheleleyo," utshilo u-Beck. "Ukuba ndingenza umnqweno kwibhotile yegenie ukukhulisa isandla ngomso, ndingatsho akho ndlela yimbi kuba yeyona nto indifikisileyo kule ndawo ndikuyo namhlanje. Ngendingazange ndikufumane ukunyuka ukuba bekungekho sandla sam. Ke ndicinga endaweni yokusebenzisa ukukhubazeka kwakho njengesingxengxezo hayi ukwenza, yisebenzise njengesizathu ukuya yenza."

Endaweni yokuba ngu impembelelo, ufuna ukukwazi khuthaza abantu endaweni yoko. "Ndicinga ukuba ukuphefumlelwa kunokuba yinto entle," utshilo. "Kum, ukukhuthazwa kungaphezulu kwe 'ah!' Kodwa ndifuna abantu beve ibali lam baze bacinge, 'Hey ewe!Ndiza kwenza into epholileyo.' Kwaye akunyanzelekanga ukuba inyuke. Inokuba yiyo nantoni na abayithandayo, ukuba nje bayayifuna. "
