CHRIS SHARMA ON "EVERYTHING IS KARATE" 5.14 C/D

Chris Sharma and Tommy Caldwell on leaning tower project and Chris makes second ascent of Everything is Karate.
One more time thanks to CASHUS PUHVEL, aka "best drone pilot in Bishop (California)", who film these amazing aerial shots.

[@bennettstone656]

Sharma has got to be one of the most confident looking climbers

[@danc6884]

Not only is his climbing world class but he just seams like a super nice dude, im a fan 👍

[@jillsanders7072]

He sets for tall people 🙄

[@brewsdalton6243]

Its so great to see cutting edge climbs filmed and posted on youtube (where we can watch & get inspiration for free). Thanks to Chris & crew. Please ignore the spray about bolts or starting the the second clipped or whatever. Get a life people! When you can climb the grade and get a film crew, you're welcome to do it better.

Hey great Video Chris! Omg I remember the movie kinglines when I saw you visiting spain and spots like this! Loved the scenes you are home with your dad! Thanks for sharing your life with me! :)

[@ChrisHaileyTrainHardDiveEasy]

Great work Chris!!!! What an epic route :-)

Excelente Chris, pasan los años y seguís escalando a un gran nivel.

[@rk12968]

it's nice to see the failures and the hardship and not just the clean ascent.. thanks for showing that. make this vid all the more inspiring.

[@chuffer595]

Andy was my counselor at a sleep away camp when I started climbing ten years ago. It was a fantastic experience and encouraged me to keep going with the sport. Now I coach kids at my gym, and look forward to climbing for the rest of my life

[@thewatcheronthewall85]

How Tommy climbs with 3 fingers and his thumb on one hand is unbelievable, the dedication to train and build strength in that grip is unreal, but so true.

[@Noold]

I noticed that. Is it by choice? or does he have an injured finger?

[@maxblair3317]

Sick send!! Still wondering how this thing is fully bolted though, heaps and heaps of .2 and .3 cam placements and nut placements...

[@ryanmcdermott657]

So cool to see the gracious shout-out to Ethan Pringle and the acknowledgment of role reversal. About the close bolting: if some of these are working bolts, why clip them all on the redpoint attempt? I'm missing something.

[@cole1870]

Must be several good clipping stances. Why not clip if you can do so easily? That or the film was not the real RP attempt (more likely?).

[@adamshephard5053]

Chris got karate-chopped by everything is karate

[@sket179]

Such a nice name for a route.

[@biodieseler1]

That's the second time I've seen that injury! In the semifinal of a world cup event about 10 years ago Sashi Amma fell on the last move and cracked his chin that way. He was rushed to the local hospital, got stitched up and was back for the final later that day. Got on the podium as far as I remember.

[@zeewhat]

dr. Andy fixed my chin up....lol

[@adarshsharma1461]

Does anyone know the projected grade of deans route in the beginning?

[@Hikergy16]

I couldn’t climb 14 D with four hands/twenty fingers, tommy does it with 9. Insanity

[@peterhammer6915]

The route looks amazing! Have to agree with many here though. The route has too many bolts. Many here justify that because the route is so hard. Ok, a 5.11.d can be as hard for some climber if thats his maximum. Should we put a bolt on all 7a:s every one meter?

[@minnesotacubes7911]

Peter Hammer You’re 100% right. It looks like most this route could have been done with trad gear anyways

[@coltonthedrummer]

When you bolt a 5.14c/d, be sure to place as few bolts as possible

[@Anthrillist]

when did this happen? everything is karate

If this route is Karate, is it ok to chop those bolts?

[@ssimon64]

[@adamtadros1472]

Is there reason the bolts are so close together?

[@SharmaChannel]

yes the guy Yes, the guy who equipped it could only do it that way, we assume that he didn't have the level to climb it and he equipped it the way he could.

[@Brian_Moser1118]

sharma is a lot bigger than tommy, how are they belaying each other ? does't the weight have to be close ? like a 170-180-190

[@mattgraham4340]

Generally no, usually there is enough friction in the system to compensate. Usually only an issue with small women or children. Also, on mult-pitch climbing the belayer is usually anchored anyway. In sport climbing I see a few more mismatched climbing partners using the Edelrid Ohm these days, improves belayer comfort and can save the climber a "deck party" if they fall on an early bolt.

[@guillnadeau]

Not to make any controversy but this line look doable to be climb using trad gear. Is there any info about this line being tryed trad or if it's event possible (the crack looks open but small and flared). May be it's just to dangerous and the gear would be to small for such a hard climb.

[@SharmaChannel]

I was the one who filmed this route and I think that despite being equipped with too many anchors, I think it could be tried in traditional, but it's hard as hell hahahaha

[@hoecorn]

holy shit sew it up!

[@mdmarkosmdm]

Yo creo que aún podía caber algún parabolt más.....

[@bonefishboards]

Looks like good gear would go into those cracks. Bolts needed because of rock quality?

[@McClimber234]

6:00 bolt ladder. Those bolts look 3 feet apart.

[@nicolasrios9911]

00:50 name song ?

[@momode]

Thanks Chris for showing the new generation the way to go... with tick marks...

[@kellenedmonds963]

Am I the only one who noticed the clips with the gate towards the wall, thereby, potentially resulting in a triload on the carabiner? I was taught to always face the gate away from the fall, which in this case a left leaning route would denote clipping the hangers with the biner facing to the right.

Why not show the whole thing? Looks stitched bro

[@billygoat1234]

Cool video. I don't really care about bolting ethics but I will say this line has the bolts way too close together. Every five feet, seriously?

[@dmm4133]

The route was bolted by Dean Potter, so it's normal to have a lot of bolts, did you ever check the climbing ethic rules back to those days? So if not, stop commenting bull shit and go read some articles.

[@MrHassancehef]

shit, I'm always effraid to hurt myself with bolt, but I was always thinking, this can't happend, this has never happen, now I know it's possible shit.....

[@HandFedMole]

Is there any way to protect that climb with gear? There are so many freaking bolts right along that crack...

[@HopSkipAndAMartydom]

Go for it dude. Make sure you film it

[@beimberni6952]

I thought the same... why so much bolts? in the first meters ok but the top section the half of the bolts would be ok too... its boltet like a gym route... But good Video and good climb

[@HopSkipAndAMartydom]

It's so they can project it without having to repeat hard sequences they already know over and over again. Shits hard man

[@sstrong42]

There's a bolt every three damn feet. Someone spent a fortune on hardware. And yeah, that likely would go on gear and be just as safe.

[@Sethgolas]

Probably because it's such a sustained and difficult section, they didn't want to waste a bunch of energy climbing back after falling while they were working out the beta.

[@ufreemi77]

잘헸어 샤마

[@RicardoBischof]

Why do you always cut out the actual clipping ? That´s so annoying

[@unclecaravan]

Oh boy, I get so bored of all the socially inept self righteous climbing style ethicists that love to join an anti-bolt circle jerk. "I'd better show how morally superior I am by calling out anyone that doesn't follow my infallible arbitrary rules on how to scale rocks".

[@Cpt.CoffinNails]

BROH NO YOU ARENT EVEN A ROCK CLIMBER TILL YOU'VE FREE SOLOED EL CAP, THE DAWN WALL WITH NO CLOTHES ON, AND THE ONLY NUTS AND BOLTS YOU HAVE ARE THE ONES SWINGING BETWEEN YOUR LEGS BROGH. THE ONLY ROPE YOU NEED IS THE ONE YOU LEAVE ON THE GROUND, THE ONLY FALL PROTECTION YOU NEED IS A GRAVE DUG UNDER WHERE YOU GONNA FALL ANYWAYS. CLIMB TIL YOU DIE AND ALL THAT SHIT. FUCK BOLTS, IM GONNA GO FLASH A 17.4b+-A PITCH, FREE SOLO, NO HANDS

[@nirpari7220]

Are you an Indian American?

[@balintgg]

Seeing this over bolting is just sad. I understand that this shit is hard as hell, but climbing should be balanced with conserving nature. Otherwise someday you see bolts after each move just so the avantgarde can reach the next possible grade. At some point you have to draw a line: If it's too hard, then it's too hard.

[@rosscayley8773]

Balint Gyapjas you gotta admit it....that 1m runout to the topout chains was x-treme! Groundfall territory...with 51m of slack.

[@Strade8]

i don't see how bolting is ever going to ruin a wall surface.. can you see them from somewhere that is not like 2 meter from the bolt itself?

[@highcurrent1125]

Its a real issue. I'm a park ranger at an area where there is a very small crag. Until recently there has been a top-rope only ethic. Someone showed up a couple of years back, under the radar of course, and grid bolted a couple of rock faces. Birders and hikers got super irate, rightly so. Bolts had to go bye-bye to preserve access. Be careful how and where you bolt...

[@Strade8]

when I am looking for a route, I know is there, because the book said so and there is the name written on the bottom.. I still can't see any bolt after the first one..I can understand that grid bolting is useless, better search for route and follow them, but unless the bolt in your country are red and 10 times the size i am used to, you won't spot them unless you are there climbing...

[@TimH123]

I’m guessing that working the slanting route efficiently requires not falling too far from the high point, making close bolting desirable at that stage. Ironic that Chris then cut his chin on a bolt when falling off! But yeah, why clip them all on the red point attempt, just a waste of energy, unless the video is assembled from cuts of other attempts as well as the successful RP. I’m certainly not putting myself out there as an ethics expert, but it seems factual that the bolts are close together. There is also a lot more chalk on the shelf of that boulder than is required for the hand positions on the problem. This is something that I’ve seen commented on in other videos of other problems, one featuring Airwolf for example, although that wasn’t the problem with the most chalk. I’m not sure why entire features are being chalked. Yes it will wash off eventually, but not as quickly as one might think. However, there is a lot of rock out there.....
