Chris Sharma

He uses ropes?
What a wuss.

:)


EDITED TO ADD:
If I was 1/10th in as good of shape as this guy is...



...I'd still be 10 times better off than I am now.
:)
Impressive.
 
Found this on wikipedia...

"Sharma won the Bouldering World-Cup in Munich in 2001 but it was recalled after he tested positive for THC."

WTF? Wouldn't you have to be on drugs to try some of the stuff these guys do?
 
That was insane.

At some points he was holding his entire weight by pinching his thumb and index finger together.
 
Ha! Sort of like when snowboarder Ross Rebagliati tested positive for pot at the Olympics. Everyone was scratching their heads on that one (they let him keep the medal. I assume everyone else tested positive too).

THC or not, Chris Sharma is the man.
 
Actually, if you want to see what I think (for what I know) is the hardest route in the word, check out this. Put up by the late, great Wolfgang Gulich almost sixteen years ago, it's only been repeated twice since. Watch the video, you'll understand why.
 
So *that* is what 5.14d look like :shocked: Dynos are awsome, but those two are wild!

I hate that stuff with yrou fingers in the little cracks and stuff though, I'm always afraid I'm going to slip and fall but leave a finger behind jammed in somewhere. *shudder* I need to go climbing more, but at a much safer 5.9 or so. :)
