Chris Sharma: The Legacy Continues
- 14 years ago
Chris Sharma's meteoric climbing career started when he won the Bouldering Nationals at age 14 & opened the hardest climb in America (at the time, 5.14c) a year later. In the decade that followed, Chris has continued to take climbing to a new level. Not only has he consistently shattered previous conceptions of difficulty, he was recently voted 8a Climber of the Decade. He has sent multiple 5.15 routes, bouldered V15, onsighted 5.14b, & established deep water solo routes at the highest grades. Chris holds claim to the current hardest route in America, & perhaps the world, with his ascent of Jumbo Love at Clark Mountain in California. The area around his home in Spain is considered one of the hotspots for the sport globally with seemingly endless possibilities. It looks like Chris will have plenty of time to perfect his Spanish accent. For More Visit: http://bit.ly/ChrisSharma
