Free soloing is one of the most exhausting activities in extreme sports. In his climb, Qin Sheng took seven breaks, and he could even see the words left behind by his predecessors at every resting spot.
As he made his way to the top, the names were like warm greetings that silently supported him.
Old Li was following Qin Sheng at a speed that was neither fast nor slow. Old Li enjoyed not the joy of reaching the top but the pleasure of looking for the names of his old friends.
After he went back and met up with his old friends, he would have a new conversation topic. "Buddy, you rested eight times when you scaled the cliff back then. You really suck!"
Old Li was not the only person with a sarcastic sense of humor. All Riders would develop this bad habit after being a part of this organization for some time.
