101세 할머니, 세계 최고령 '앱세일' 기록 수립 Daring 101-Year-Old Woman Becomes World's Oldest Abseiler by Descending the Side of Tower (VIDEO)

Daring 101-Year-Old Woman Becomes World's Oldest Abseiler 

by Descending the Side of Tower




올해 101세의 도리스 롱 할머니는 지난 일요일 세계 최고령 '앱세일'(암벽 등에서 자일 

타고 내려가는) 기록에 이름을 올렸다.


무려 100m 높이의 영국 포츠머스의 스피내이커 타워에서 자일을 타고 내려오는 고령의 

할머니에게 나약한 모습은 전혀 찾아 볼 수가 없었다.


지난 5월 100세을 맞이해 이 빌딩에 자일타기를 첫 도전한 그녀에게 더 놀랄 일은 85세의 

나이에 자일타기를 시작했다는 것이다.


이번에 바람과 비 등 날씨가 안좋은데도 불구하고 다시 한번 도전해 마침내 성공했다,


그녀가 이렇게 무리한 도전을 계속하는 이유는 워터루빌에 있는 로우언스 호스피스 병동에 

모금을 위해서다.

101-year-old Doris Long just beat her own record as the world's oldest abseiler when she descended 100 meters (328 feet) down the side of Portsmouth's Spinnaker Tower in the UK this past Sunday. The great-great-grandmother, who started abseiling at the age of 85, first took on this challenge at Portsmouth on her 100th birthday last May. She pulled it off again this year despite the wind and the rain, all to raise money for Rowans Hospice in Waterlooville.

"I don't feel afraid and never have, I just have a placid nature," Long told BBC. She added, "It was very hard work, much harder than last year. It was so windy I swung about a bit, but oh yes, I enjoyed it, I feel it's well worth it."

The daring senior, who has raised more than £11,000 for the hospice through abseiling feats, says she hopes to take on the tower again next year when she turns 102.
