Dean Potter - Expandindo os Limites do Corpo e da Mente + Dean Potter - Expanding the Limits of Body and Mind
Eleito pela National Geographic como o Aventureiro do Ano de 2009, Dean tem mostrado do que é capaz e segundo o próprio a concentração é um dos apoios para o sucesso.
Considerado um dos melhores escaladores do mundo, Potter parece ser um dos grandes divisores de águas entre o que é possível e o improvável dentro do esporte de montanha.
Nascido em 18 de janeiro de 1972 nos Estados Unidos, montanhista de renome internacional, tem no seu currículo o BASE jumper, BASE liner, highliner e o Free Base.
Dean é o responsável por vídeos surrealistas como Masters of Stone, e seguindo o estilo inconseqüente de seu companheiro Dan Osman ( Ver Postagem ) tornou-se simbolo de realização do impossivel e concentração mental. Escalar grandes paredes em solo em tempo Record aparece ser pouco para Dean.
Apesar de exepcionais atuaçõe sem El Capitan e Half Dome Dean esta se dedicando à uma linha esportiva mais extrema até que escalar solo, como a escalada ganhou adeptos em todos o mundo Dean volta-se para o limite da concentração, sendo assim inspirado com os desafios do Highlining, Base Line e Free Base.
Quem a não ser Steph Davis para acompanhar Potter, escaladora, BASE jumper é considerada uma das melhores esportistas entre os escaladores do mundo, especializada em escaladas em solo, que em 2003 se tornou a segunda mulher a escalar em livre o El Capitan, em um dia. Steph é também famosa por seus solos em Long´s Peak Diamond, no Colorado, 305 metros de granito, parede situada a 4.267 metros de altitude.
A Slacke Line ficou famosa nos acampamentos base de montanhas, onde montanhistas passam longos períodos esperando pelo bom tempo para entrar na rocha, sem nada o que fazer, desse tédio nasceu um esporte que esta virando febre entre novos e antigos esportistas. Depois de muito treino e ousadia, alguns escaladores acostumados com desafios, resolveram aumentar o nível de dificuldade do Slack line e inventaram o high line, ou seja, a 'linha alta' que é nada mais nada menos que um Slack line em altura ligando dois picos com um grande abismo entre eles. Daí para Dean inovar foi um passo, ou melhor, um salto... estava criado o Base Line.
Em 14 de março, 2008, Dean aparece na capa do New York Times, descalço, fazendo a travessia entre dois canyon de arenito em Moab, Utah, EUA.
Potter, há muito vem despertando admiração como montanhista. Em 2002, no Parque Nacional de Yosemite, ele se tornou a primeira pessoa a escalar os picos El Capitan e Half Dome juntos, e sem uso de equipamento auxiliar, em prazo de menos de 24 horas.
O método significava que ele só poderia usar a força dos braços e pernas para a escalada, sem efeito de alavanca, e que as cordas só poderiam ser usadas para fins de segurança, em uma escalada que, no plano vertical, ultrapassava os 1,5 mil metros.
Trata-se de um esforço que requer grande concentração e velocidade, e que seria impensável para um montanhista amador que pratique escaladas nos seus finais de semana; para uma pessoa como essa, não só seria necessário equipamento auxiliar como férias de duas semanas, para reproduzir o feito.
Em 2001, Potter escalou El Capitan pela via conhecida como 'Nose', que ostenta não só um paredão vertical de 900 metros como uma seção reversa de difícil travessia, em apenas três horas e 24 minutos.
O feito é notável em sua economia de tempo, se levarmos em conta que, em 1958, o renomado montanhista Warren Harding precisou de 45 dias para conduzir sua equipe ao topo, por essa mesma via. Potter em diversas ocasiões já realizou escaladas de centenas de metros sem quaisquer cordas, e sem qualquer recurso para lhe oferecer mais estabilidade além de suas sapatilhas e um saquinho de magnésio.
'O esporte depende de momento, depende de atingir aquele estado no qual o tempo e o espaço desaparecem, e tudo mais vai embora. Dean consegue se manter nesse estado por horas a fio, sem deixar que sua mente vagueie, sem deixar que as dúvidas se instalem, mantendo sempre a confiança e a deliberação em todos os movimentos. Imagine na vida real, se pudéssemos ir ao escritório dessa maneira e trabalhar sem distração alguma.', diz Beaver Theodosakis, fundador e presidente da 'PRANA'
O se joga desta vez aconteceu na Suiça, onde ele usou apenas sapatilhas, magnésio e um pára-quedas de BASE Jumping para escalar a via Deep Blue Sea (Profundo Mar Azul) de 5.12+ localizada nas paredes de calcário do monte Eiger. Modalidade criada e batizada de Free Base.
Para concluir a tarefa, Potter fez uma travessia até a via a partir da aresta noroeste do Eiger e solou a formação final da parede, levemente negativa, onde está o crux. Potter optou por não escalar a parte inicial da via por causa de rochas soltas e pela altura, que não proporcionava uma queda com tempo suficiente para abrir o BASE.
Pela sua estratégia, mais 'segura', ele teria 15 segundos de vôo a partir das enfiadas mais altas da via, garantindo tempo para abrir o pára-quedas, no caso de uma queda.
Potter conclui a via e saiu caminhando pelo seu cume como toda calma do mundo.
Depois de tantas inovações é sentar e esperar as novas tendências de Potter, sempre inventado um forma nova de levar o termo 'Se joga' ao limite.

Slacker Line became famous in the base camps of the mountains where climbers spend long periods waiting for a good time to enter the rock, with nothing to do, boredom born of a sport that is turning fever between new and old athletes. After much training and daring, some climbers used to challenges, they decided to increase the level of difficulty of Slack line and invented the high line, ie the 'high line' that is nothing less than a height Slack line connecting two peaks with a great gulf between them. Dean was there to innovate one step, or rather a jump ... Base Line was created.
On March 14, 2008, Dean appears on the cover of The New York Times, barefoot, making the crossing between two sandstone canyon in Moab, Utah, USA.
Potter had long stirred wonder as a climber. In 2002, in Yosemite National Park, he became the first person to climb the peaks El Capitan and Half Dome together, and without use of auxiliary equipment, in a period of less than 24 hours.
The method meant he could only use force of arms and legs for climbing, without leverage, and that strings could only be used for security purposes, in an escalation that in the vertical plane, was over 1.5 thousand meters.
This is an effort that requires great concentration and velocity, and that would be unthinkable for an amateur climber who climbs into their practice weekends, for a person like that would not only be necessary ancillary equipment such as vacations of two weeks to play the deed.
In 2001, Potter climbed El Capitan route known as the 'Nose', which boasts not only a vertical cliff 900 meters as a reverse section of difficult crossing in just three hours and 24 minutes.
The feat is remarkable in its economy of time, if we take into account that in 1958, the renowned climber Warren Harding 45 days to lead his team to the top, by the same route. Often, Potter has performed hundreds of feet of climbing without ropes, and without any resources to offer more stability than their shoes and a chalk bag.
'Sport is now depends on reaching that state in which time and space disappear, and everything else goes away. Dean manages to remain in that state for hours without letting your mind wander, without letting the doubts are setting up, keeping the confidence and determination in all movements. Imagine in real life, if we could go to the office like that and not be distracted. ", Said Beaver Theodosakis, founder and president of 'Prana'
What happened this time to play in Switzerland, where he wore only sneakers, and a magnesium parachute BASE Jumping to climb via the Deep Blue Sea (Deep Blue Sea) of 5.12 located in the limestone walls of the Eiger mountain. Modality created and named Free Base.
To complete the task, Potter made a crossing to the road from the north-western edge of the Eiger and the formation solou end of the wall, slightly negative, which is the crux. Potter decided not to escalate the initial part of the road because of loose rock and height, which did not provide a fall with enough time to open the BASE.
Through its strategy, the more 'safe', he would have 15 seconds of flight from the highest pitches of the route, providing time to open the parachute in the event of a fall.
Potter concludes the road and went walking on the summit of the world as calmly.
After so many innovations is sit and wait for the new trends in Potter, always inventing a new way of taking the term "If you play 'the limit.
