Three huge dynos in a row make up this 5.15a, in Ceuse, France. It went 8 years without a repeat before Adam Ondra made the second ascent. From the feature documentary King Lines. Rent or buy here: reelrocktour.com/collections/...
There's already people that have climbed harder routes than Chris, and that will continue happening of course. But Sharma will always be the greatest, IMO. Everything about him is just amazing as an athlete and a personality. His calm, affable demeanor, his fluid, dance-like climbing style which can ramp up to animalistic flurries in a heartbeat.
Chris will always be my favorite climber, the golden boy of climbing. I had the chance to meet him in person once, very briefly at the the Vancouver mountain film festival, he was doing a film presentation about him climbing realisation..
Freakin comes back years later and sending 5.14-5.15? Chris is the man. Maybe the best sport climber EVER. Always entertaining. I get a huge rush seeing him hit the dyno after falling so many times. :D
Can't... hit... like... enough... Seriously though, the cinematography was beautiful, the line was just insane, and the music provided the perfect sonic backdrop.
Alex says he is the best rock climbing person in the 🌎!!! I think this summer we all should try to free solo El Cap.... Iam getting ready now eating a Cliff bar and trying on my new The North Face outfit I bought on line. I do it for the love of climbing.
I like to watch such jump(s) in velocity 0,25 too, to understand better the fantastic precision of the body movement! (learning by watching in slow motion)
@@robertnewell4054 I guess weight wise he isn't that big even if he is above average height. Weight probably matters more as far as overall size goes though.
@Braydon Smedley ...... please don’t think I’m being negative. I came from a Team Sport where I was always considered “small” ... and when I came to climbing I always consider “a big dude”. Sport specificities do have their place
if you tube was around when Patrick Edlinger was in his prime I highly doubt anyone would refer to chris as the greatest sport climber ever. Don't get me wrong he is a beast and way better than I ever was or ever will be but remember where this guy came from . I have to admit though the first time I saw French climbers in competition I thought they were all gods,but really they just were climbers with a different style,attitude,and unlimited resources allowing them to climb constantly(sponsorship) which was really unavailable to climbers in the u.s at the time. I just feel sorry for this kids tendons and hands when he gets my age, my best advise is give at least two days a weak to heal or you will pay later like I am.
+Large Dad Good advice at the end. I stick to an every other day climbing schedule myself. Offdays I'm trying to mix yoga in Also maybe light exercise on a pullup bar once a week on an off day as well.
@@100.-.clim_bing No his left hand is feeding slack and is on the climber's end of the rope. I can tell because that end feeds up to the climber. His right hand is fully closed around the gri gri, disabling the assisted braking. So neither hand is holding the brake stand. This is not recommended as if the climber were to fall at this exact moment and the belayer were to tense up, the climber could hit the ground.
+Paul Darling but I have concluded that screaming is a release of energy, it's an expression of mood. I can be to intimidate, to boost self confidence, to express the feeling of doing the move. to be sure you breath when doing
KOG IMI I don't like sports and I don't like climbing as a sport either. The beauty of climbing is that it supplies its own opportunity for grace under pressure without the artificial ego-fest of competition.
There is no doubt that is a beautiful area, but why not just sit below it on the grass, with a good friend and a great bottle of wine and some good Swiss or French cheese, and just look at its beauty! (Those climbers need to learn that yelling loudly saps strength!) I would have made a good climber, I was a good all-around athlete and had great hand strength from playing the piano all my life, but, alas, I have acrophobia, so that sport is not for me! Platform high-diving was as high as I wanted to go, I trusted the water, and though I had some dives that hurt, I was not risking my life, I love life too much to do that! I cannot say I admire mountaineers, but I do have a lot of respect for them!
Not hating on thease guys,hats off to them but after watching Alex honold,you can't get more off a adrenaline rush and sweaty palms watching anyone else.
@@antonio-bx6gv Yeah, I've seen freesolo. It's an amazing achievement no doubt, but it's a completely different type of achievement to this. As far as I know, Alex Honnald has never climbed anything as difficult as this route.
Mark, Alex probably is one of the best, but understand he is one of the best among a handful of bests. There comes a point where there is no adequate ranking and frankly too I'm getting tired of these stupid comments that basically attempt to knock one persons incredible achievement because you watched a popular documentary.
it's interesting that they challenge theirselves by climbing, but i'd rather climb a route for the sake of it's beauty, not for the sake of it's difficulty.
+Do you even Rift Thats why Sharma climbs in Ceuse, because the lines are beautiful and the rock is top notch. If I climbed at his level, id be going after the hardest lines too
I doubt alex is stupid enough to risk (free solo) dying on dyno. There is footage of him trying one testing it out on el cap and he flat out says it isn't worth the jump. What Alex did with his free solo of el cap is an absolutely stunning and amazing achievement, but realize there are a handful of "world's greatest" (for lack of a better term) climbers and there is absolutely no reason to try to demote one over another. Each one is deserving and incredible in their own right.
Don't show your fucking stupidity. But fine, here you go, ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gRoDav8u0og.html ...oh is he using ropes there? Yes he is.
