Big Up Productions has an update on their website that features a clip of Chris Sharma working his most recent 5.15 FA in Oliana, Spain, Pachamama. At first I was all like hmm that doesn’t look that hard, but then the route never ended and the “slabby redpoint crux with slopey sidepulls far apart with really bad feet” looks pretty wicked. Oh, and Sharma falls several times which is also a strong indicator that the route must be pretty damn hard.

obviously the shoulder’s feeling better if 5.15 doesn’t look THAT hard…
but i know what you mean — everything looks easier in video. like, i felt like i could do most of the moves individually on dream catcher after watching the movie. when i stood underneath it i didn’t think i could even pull on most of the holds.

– you did knock off the slab pretty easily, I presume?

Ethan Pringle said the slab was super hard, and actually busted out a laptop to watch Sharma on Dreamcatcher while in front of the route to figure out the sequence, though if I remember correctly, he hasn’t sent it.

Where’d you guys hear about Chris’ shoulder?

I think Peter was referring to some shoulder pain I was having last week and that I must be feeling better if I didn’t think the footage made the route look hard.
