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.

Chris Sharma Huge Fall

30 June 2009

Check out this video of Chris Sharma rock 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!

Chris Sharma sends La Rambla 5.15a/9a after fewer than 20 tries.

One day after “La Rambla” (5.15a / 9a+) saw its second ascent, Chris Sharma redpointed the endurance-fest in Siurana, Spain, for its third ascent. Sharma had been working on the route along with Dani Andrada, Dave Graham, and Yuji Hirayama, but it was Edu Marin who grabbed the second ascent last week.

Sharma repeated the climb after fewer than 20 tries, according to Desnivel.com. Sharma is the only climber in the world to have climbed multiple routes confirmed at 5.15a, beginning with his landmark send of “Realization” (5.15a) at Ceüse, France, in 2001. In late September, he established a new deep-water solo route in Mallorca, Es Pontas, that also may be 5.15 and has yet to be climbed by anyone else.

Check out Chris Sharma rock climbing as he crushes the super long and pumpy La Rambla 5.15a/9a.  If you know of any other climbers who have now sent La Rambla please add them into the comments below.
