Having made some 150 ropeless climbs by the age of 27, he fell to his death in 1913 while free soloing in the Austrian Alps.
33、But Preusss ideas survived and inspired the “free climbing”movement of the 1960s, which supported using ropes and other safety equipment. The next free soloist appeared in 1973, when Henry Barber climbed up the 1,00-feet north face of Yosemites Sentinel Rock without a rope. In 1976, John Bachar free

41、1913 while free soloing in the Austrian Alps.”(1913年，他在奥地利阿尔卑斯山无保护攀岩时摔死，当时他 27岁， 已经完成了150次无绳攀登。 )可知， Preuss多次攀岩成功后， 最终不幸摔死。 根据划线词句“But Preusss ideas survived and inspired the “free climbing” movement of the 1960s”(但是 Preuss的想法 survived，并且激 发了 20 世纪 60 年代的“无保护攀岩”运动)转折的语义，可以推测到，Preuss 人虽死，但他的想法却 依然存在，
42、选项 B“继续存在”符合题意。故选 B项。 【10 题详解】 推理判断题。 根据第二段中“Paul Preuss, the father of the free soloing, stated the key of the climbing was to master a mountain with superior physical and mental skill, not “artificial aid”.”(无保护攀岩之父 Paul Preuss曾说过，攀 岩的关键在于用高超的身体和精神技能征服一座山，而不是“人工援助”。)可知，在无保护攀岩中一个人 的力量起着重要作用。故选 B 项。
