Check out this video of Chris Sharma Esperanza V14. This is one of the major classics in Hueco, but has seen quite a bit of discussion on whether it is a classic boulder problem or not. You see the line is really great but it actually doesn’t top out. It simply ends in a big hueco type hold. A lot of climbers just disregard this but there are certain types of rock climbing that look at this as not being pure or classic.
I think that the line is good with quality moves, it has good history, is consistent and classic. You can make your choice after you check out this video.
In rock climbing it always seems like there is some new talent on the rise. Whether it be some young gun crushing V14 or someone no one has ever really heard of who climbs 5.14’s all the time. You see there are a lot of talented rock climbers but sometimes talent isn’t enough. We have injuries that can put us out of the lime light for good. However, above all of the struggle and lime light reigns one climber Chris Sharma. Chris is by far the most known rock climbing there is. He is an athlete with incredible strength and mental toughness you wouldn’t believe.
Check out this video of Chris Sharmarock climbing at Nationals 2008 taking a huge fall from the finish hold. Sharma takes a massive whipper after dynoing to the finish jug and just doesn’t seem to be able to hold on anymore. Chris was still able to win the competition and probably gave himself a little scare in the process.
The distance of the fall was warranted to keep Chris from hitting the wall in the wrong manner. Tell us what you think below in the comments!
Check out this video of Chris Sharma 02 Ford Games in Oregon. Here were the results for that 02 Ford Games. Hope you dig the video its a little old school but it still has some sick climbing.
