Not so important for me to put a number on it as I have nothing left to prove, except that I’m not totally over the hill, but perhaps that’s only to myself!  I’ll never make superstar status now, I’ll never manage 9b+; anything below that is old hat in terms of big news. So it doesn’t matter what ‘9’ it is; 9a, 9a+ or 9b is just off the pace. However, it’s not a bad thing to put some kind of marker on a route.

Where In The World Is Chris Sharma?

When I was a kid, one of the games we played on the classic Apple IIe computers was Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego.

In a lot of ways, I feel the same way nowadays trying to track the progress of everyone’s favorite climber, Chris Sharma.
