Chris Sharma, in an interview with PlanetMountain, talking about his repeat of La Dura Dura (5.15c):
I must have spent a whole year trying the lower section, those 15 moves. Doing this was a really long process, mentally, because there’s a really hard iron cross move where I kept falling and when I finally did this, I then fell higher up.
Chris Sharma finishes his hardest route yet
DPM was in Atlanta over the weekend for the highly successful Rock & Rave fundraiser held at Stone Summit. With the help of celebrities like Chris Sharma, Kurt Smith and Hans Florine, about $36,000 was raised for the Access Fund, the Southeastern Climbers Coalition and the Carolina Climbers’ Coalition.
Idea for next year: put the ABS Nationals broadcast up during the event and have people bid money on how many times things like “Asana moment” or “she’s got blank for days” or “that climber is brave and humble” are said.
Chris Sharma reports via his Instagram account that he has done the FA of one of his projects in Santa Linya, Spain:
Today in Santa Linya was one of those illusive moments. I sent a project that I’ve been trying the last few years. I think I’m going to call it Stoking The Fire and I think it’s pretty solid 9b. So many hard complex sequences with no rests!
