@@matonni7 Chris is a very big climber compared to the average, at 6" and 80 kilos he was very powerful in the upper body. Margo is much smaller, she can't rely on powering through the movements as she has lower upper body strength being both female (not trying to make a chauvinist statement, women do tend to be relatively weaker in the upper body) and less muscular (more like an average climber). She uses skill, mobility, and a very good control of bodyweight counterbalance to climb. Climbers in general tend to use their legs more than their arms, but Chris was pretty strong and so can pull off those hard pulls better than most. Also, female climbers in general tend to climb in a smoother manner from what I have seen. They use smoother whole body movements certainly and this is very much a reason for the fluidity. I honestly think women just have better coordination and physical dexterity sometimes watch the best female and male climbers side by side haha. This is also very much the case in sports I have personally trained in, female athletes tended to have more control over their bodies for some reason (especially with martial arts, gymnastics, etc). Also, this was the first ascent of the face, Chris was basically pioneering it here, Margo has a bit more material to work with (not taking away from her, it is a HUGE achievement, but redpointing is different when you have previous material to work with). But I don't think Chris had the route down to a tee yet, which is why he powers through some moves that might have been achieved with less effort. This is the legacy in climbing, each successive generation takes what you have done and improves upon it!

Ondra is the Sharma of this generation

I love reading these comments and hearing people say this is lame because some people climb without ropes now. It's clear that they saw the 60 minutes special on Honnold(Who is the fucking man and his impact on the sport is huge) and think that they know everything about climbing. Honnold however does a totally different style of climbing. Sharma climbs short powerful sport routes while Honnold climbs big wall routes. Oh and by the way Honnold climbs with a rope all the time for those of you acting like he never does. Honnold would look like a fish out of water on a route like this so don't even say he could solo it. For those of you who say you could do this then why are there only a handful of climbers in the world who could possibly complete it. I'd like all of you to be able to see a close of of those holds which all you haters probably wouldn't even be able to use if this went from overhung to slab.

not so. honnold climbs everything, and he uses a rope all the time. its true that he cranks 5.10 and 5.11 moves unroped and way off the deck, but nobody, not even honnold free solos 5.13 or above, unless its a short route that they have ruthlessly wired, like John Bachar's free solo of "father figure" (5.13a) at joshua tree. Still, alex honnold is currently one of the best climbers in the world, and far and away the best free solo climber who has ever lived.

He came to fame by free soloing Moonlight and Half Dome... the crux pitches are 12+ wayyy off the deck. I was thinking even a two year dated comment is crazy cause I think he even soloed The Phoenix and another 13b crack 3 or 4 years ago... He also self confesses how bad he is at hard sport climbing which is partly true. Obviously he is in the upper section of strong men and women, but compared to other top athletes his sport and boulder abilities are low. Anywho, not a troll just a stat plugger obsessed with rock wrastlin!

@@Wazoodles He recently sent 9a (5.14d) which isn't too bad for sport climbing. If that's all he'd ever done, we'd never have heard of him of course (there are a few weekend warriors who've climbed 9a) but yeah, his soloing sets him apart.

His rest holds are what the rest of us call "shitty two-finger pockets."

okay, so many people that comment on climbing vids are uneducated. this was the hardest route in the world at the time, there was no way he was going to free solo it. actually no one in the world could probably free solo this, for sure not honnold. come on guys dont be judgemental with your comments if you have no idea what your talking about.

@@Smokey66s Absolutely. Almost all sport climbing done on these incredibly incredibly hard routes is done with a rope for safety. Lead climbing just lets you do the routes without dying. People only free solo something if its way way below their capability so that way they feel super comfortable and know they can do the moves. Something like this where its just super desperate climbing and every hold is a struggle will most likely never be free solo climbed.

man that is SICK. You watch how strenuous every move is, then see how overhanging the line is...need superhuman strength and flawless technique just to stick to the rock anywhere on that wall to piece together dozens of desperate moves like that is something only a handful of people in the world can do.

So it is basically a very hard Lead wall, then followed, without a break, a superhard Boulder problem (more than just 2-3 moves), then followed by a semi-hard Lead wall on top of that. I can't imagine hard much strain tendons and muscles must take at that Boulder section. Superb effort.

5.15 are like miles compared to feet when climbing 5.10's

Here after listening to the podcast of Alex honnold interviewing Chris sharma about this climb. But to see Chris do it is intense!!!

Not the only one, I enjoyed it as well. Even as a non climber I can tell he put everything into that section to make it. Super cool watch.

he looks so young.

ngl his voice is so much more different from what I imagined it would be like, never heard him speak in any of the clips I've seen of him till this one

Chris Sharma is too good.

That scream he lets out when he makes the move to the Hueco and he knows he's got the route in the bag is epic!!! This video never ceases to motivate me to climb harder

Thank you very muth. :)

Man, I have done a 5.10a which I thought was hard, this must have been painful to endure. Awesome climb!

That's so true, it makes my fingers hurt.

Most epic climbing video of all times

amazing!

Not sure if anyone else ever thinks about this stuff but the route breakdown goes: 15 moves to first rest 20 moves to second rest 20 moves to third rest (end of hard climbing) This route looks amazing.

I remember reading an article in Rock and Ice about climbing photographers. They have to come up with some resourceful, elaborate rigs to capture these moments! They tend to be climbers themselves, as well.

Crazy stamina and power and concentration. Time flies hey Chris?

Kudos to Chris and the cameraman

big up man!

super video e musica estrema , jah jah bless yuh !

Fantastic! Now please post Sharma on Jumbo Love!!!

great soundtrack.

Still a great watch

Good thing about falls in this climb is the fact that it's an overhang.

Chris Sharma is a guru, Alex Honnold is amazing (or amazingly crazy), but the strongest climber nowadays is definitely Adam Ondra: he sent the first two 5.15c in the world, one of them (La Dura Dura) being a project Chris has been working on for the past 5 years, Adam comes to Spain, trains with Chris, goes to Norway, climbs the first 5.15c, goes back to Spain, sends the first ascent of La Dura Dura ... I mean, he is just THE STRONGEST now...
