[@adanrott8777]

I need to start bringing my chalk bag when I watch Sharma climb

[@ntdawg]

His contact strength with his hands is amazing. When he gets a grip he's so solid.

[@Vinnygil]

I know exactly what you mean, if i ever get discouraged about one of my project i just watch one of these videos and im pretty much instantly psyced again

[@connorkenway4358]

when he says "Mamachichi" (00:32) it can't stop laughing :D it gets everytime..love this guy. pure inspiration

[@azhum]

Im climbing 13.a's now, and bouldering V9, but each grade up in difficulty just is so much harder.... The better I get at climbing, the more I realize that I can't even comprehend how hard 14's and 15's are.. So sick

[@averagejoegrows]

how long have you been climbing? it ive been climbing for a year and hit max 12c hardest ive tried is 13c but i cant even clean it n doing hard routes on top rope feels like its not genuine

[@OneRedLude]

So graceful! Definitely buying Progression to see the extras!

[@wondersoxx]

Man that was just beautiful! Just amazing!

[@jasonheywardkillsit]

perhaps the most inspirational song, climber, song, spot I have seen. SO nuts

[@sarvelaj]

I watch this every day.

[@Lordsjdr]

Um dos melhores escaladores esportivos do mundo,sem sombra de dúvida!Parabéns!!!

SaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAApppppppp

Read it exactly the moment he first SAAAAPED, hilarious.

Chris is my idol and my inspiration. Climb on!

[@Freddyonacid]

Sharma will go down as the Michael Jordan of rock climbing

[@nicklozica8914]

They either have a drone or they have a moving track going up the cliff with a camera on it

[@max_4209]

@@nicklozica8914 why did you wrote this here

[@buddydog1956]

My hands were sweating, while watching him climb! Very cool. none the less!

[@vlkos]

crazy moves, crazy holds, crazy cool man!!! always motivates me :)

[@cjdrover]

Saw Progression over the weekend at the Reel Rock Film Tour - fantastic!! As mainly a traditional climber, I was a little bored by the segment about the indoor climbing World Cup whatevers, but Tommy Caldwells new free routes on el Cap more than made up for it. Well done!

[@windsurf2die]

The music in such genius way fits the film that it almost made me cry :) Great vid!!!

[@louisdemange8340]

It is Vermland from AndreasBeats

[@RYAN071180]

chris is da man !!!! inspires me to keep hitting those walls

[@parkdale3612]

thanks to whoever recorded this, cameramen don't get enough credit.

[@johnalaska13]

To watch Chris Sharma climbing inspires anyone the desire to climb. His climbing is almost like a dance on the rock. His performance as a climber resembles more an art than a sport.

[@listrahtes]

kinda strange to write that about Sharma. He is a power climber. Going for dynamic power moves keeping his hips further away from the rock. Its a very unique sort of climbing but like a dance sorry quite the opposite. Thats climbers like back then Patrick Edlinger and especially Patrick Berhault to name maybe the most aesthetic of them all but definitely not Sharma.

[@MonsterSlayer14]

impressive, the higher the harder. Chris Sharma is aweesome

[@planlos3r]

Perfection!

[@Bobba8590]

He is awesome.

[@tmmullenhevey]

Even with the Sharma grunt, he makes it look easy. Big up on the fancy footwork!

[@TheSteinbitt]

Venga! Vamos!

[@SynthesizedThemes]

Thank you ;)

[@tnbourne]

My forearms are burning just watching this.

[@yanuarapan3277]

amazing

[@jefferypinley4336]

The left hand hold at 6:50 is ridiculous, on an overhang after 100+ meters? No way, I probably couldnt get myself off the ground on this climb

[@TheJuraclimber]

Very nice video :)

[@vongSTAA]

man this guy makes me stop playin sports and stop doin all the other hobbies & interests I have and just rock climb, this stuff looks so sick

[@NimrodStyleHommies]

Thanks :D

[@NinjaBenification]

He's a Ridiculously Dedicated and Skilled Climber (dedication comes before skill)

[@dose2two]

NinjaBenification skill is a product of dedication, like you said.

[@davidt2965]

everytime i watch his videos my hands sweat so much haha

[@Fr9tz]

That's what I was wondering!

[@sealrk19]

my hands are sweaty watching this

[@Kungbusan]

the song is originally a swedish folksong called "Ack Värmeland, du sköna" It's a tribute to a very beautiful region in Sweden =) very surprising to hear it in a climbing-video

[@climbingfool2]

no kidding! that woman is flawless!

[@Saltandhigh]

Pretty impressive Dude!

vry nice!!!! i need to get back out on the walls

[@Alaivmau5]

This is so incredible hard!! Beyond my imagination..

[@friedchickenballz]

And you're so outstandingly clever..

[@dotShinoda]

Ooh I felt the sharp tremble in my fingers as he fell

[@microspark]

still got it chris :D

[@WRBClimber]

alteregoash has given a very good reply about the ratings and explaining how the ratings get harder. Ratings start at Class 1-Class 6. Class 1 is walking on an even surface. Classes 2 and 3 are steeper scrambling with increased exposure and a greater chance of severe injury, but falls are not always fatal. Class 4-involve short steep sections,rope is recommended Class 5-true rock climbing, on vertical or near vertical rock. Unroped falls result in severe injury or death. wikipedia is good info

[@CosmicSailorV]

The camera is on a pulley system and is controlled from a remote from down on the ground.

[@Ochsenburg]

***** inspiring indeed ***** *****

[@flash663]

thx

[@benwilliam5]

I love the camera angles they get on these holds. Someone told me that watching climbing videos was a good way to improve my technique. Unfortunately I think watching Chris hold something the size of a dime at a 10 degree angle to the wall doesn't really help me much!

[@soucejo1]

incredible power

[@jameskpolk]

sick

[@ic3m4nx69]

@TheMegaAK Other climbers, or the climber that is climbing the route will rappel down from the top and drill holes in the rock and fill them with bolts. In addition, on many very hard routes, what some consider to be "projects", people leave the draws up because it is too hard to take the time to remove the draw from your harness, so they just clip the rope. Many routes were originally bolted in the 80s when areas were being established.

[@pandamanparty]

@Chrobinho they invented a specific toool that is kind of like a drill, its pretty neato

[@benjyhxc]

Watching this makes my hands sweat.

[@deepblue52]

@kostaspaschalis I don't know the name of this particular song, but the melody comes from Värmlandsvisan, a folksong in the county of Värmland, Sweden... where I live. Awesome to find the melody in one of those vids! :)

[@OneRedLude]

First redpoint ascent. He's worked the route many times before, and he put the draws up there as he was working it. I'm sure he bolted the route as well, and he could have just hung the draws when he was bolting. Or he rapped in and placed them on rappel. There's a few options.

[@davidjhoo]

Who sets up the climbing clips and how?

[@MrMbogza]

@whaaaaateverful its my impression that yelling tightens up your core, and turns your body into 1 single unit, so you can execture a move with all your power

[@brettbrewer29]

the individual atoms of the rock

[@Akumasl4yer]

so if he falls does he start over from the beginning of the line or does he just start up where hes at when he falls?

[@feheeraaron]

@The4lbe , Yes they are on the top, but they don't climb the route, they are hanging on ropes, and of course they zoom. They walk by-pass the wall and then they delve above him.

[@Kungbusan]

originally it's a swedish folk song called "Ack Värmeland Du sköna", translated it would be something like "oh beautiful Varmland" (värmland is a county in Sweden)

[@MrRockspot]

dope

[@pablovessali1503]

It’s been a while since I think anyone had seen this video

[@depbear]

ok...great video...great sharma..very great girl....great song(andreas beats),but I want this song!!!where I can download (for money of course) this song!!!

[@seddancal]

How is the soundtrack called?? It is perfect for the video

[@thetubemeister82]

@brownkv081 The camera crew do not climb when they film. LIke 1brownhill said they rap (abseil down) to the desired part of the climb to film. There are very few if any guys that can climb Chris's climbs, many of his first ascents remain unrepeated.

[@h0652507]

it is a pitty that this song is not on youtube

[@Chance-ry1hq]

This video is before Sharma took up screaming for effect. Much better video than the ones he is screaming like a banshee.

[@polostriker914]

@The4lbe they use a ropes system set up so that the photographer/filmer can take a steady shot of his ascent

[@MrJesusrodeaharley]

a good resting hold for chris is a nearly impossible hold for regular climbers. awesome.

[@Nlghtxhawk]

@louiejack6 Any chance you know how these climbs are rated? what makes it a 5.15? what's the highest it can be? what defines a hard climb apart from the obvious?

[@ke1ntrinkwasser]

im liking the backround music. What is it?

[@55chh]

@TheJords11 Actually it's called Ack Värmeland Du Sköna and it is a Swedish folk melody

[@fad1969]

Indeed, that is the original. The melody is used for this version: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mWfHdZZ3lr6Ja5o

[@BigPerm5000]

I really like this song, does anyone know where I can find it?

[@topanteon]

He makes the bottom part look so freaking easy! I've tried two 7a up til now and they both kicked my ass :(

[@GrantWood.]

i like the way he moves.....thumbs up if you do too

[@TheMegaAK]

@IC3M4NX Thanks a lot! Thats pretty much what i had guessed, but much better :)

[@jnm2008]

@The4lbe its usually a crane arm swinging over the side of the cliff

[@cessidou]

fucjin awesome

[@playerg7]

why would you dislike this?

[@kostaspaschalis]

@deepblue52 thank you very much :)

[@The4lbe]

What always surprises me from these videos is the camera... I mean how the hell do they do it to follow him from the top of his head? Are they already in the top and they zoom or something?

[@TheJustCecile]

Sharma goes up the rock using a mechanism on a rope and as he goes up he drills the metal loops to place the quickdraws in beforehand, I think there is a vido of him dong this here but I cant remember the title

[@morgantheron1]

how do those anchors (not sure what the are called) get put in place in the first place?

[@101rugbyplayer]

hey guys, i just want to know something. I am a beginning climber, and i just want to know what other gear you need besides a harness, ATC, chalk bag if you go on a climbing trip... oh and HOW DO YOU GET BETTER AT CLIMBING??

[@CarniverousBubblegum]

someone needs to make a montage of sharma noises

[@MermaidLilli]

That was heart stopping! But I felt cheated..... all foreplay.... no end!!

[@cciemail]

daila ojeda! what a woman!!!

[@bushfield85]

@morgantheron1 they're called bolts and the way they are set up is a guy with a drill sets up an anchor from the top of the route then just repels or trad climbs (with natural protection) brings a drill and the required amount of bolts then puts the bolts where they should go :0

[@TheMegaAK]

Who puts the first safety holds and quick draws in to the side of the mountains?

[@anonor123]

I'd like to see a vdieo of him doing the bolting...

[@Syphlitic]

Great song...who is it?

[@TRUER3DEMPTION]

wow. ive been climbing for a month, and im excited when i finish a 30 ft 5.8. mad respect.

[@yomattieT]

try the bidupproduction website because they have the sound tracks of some of the dvds they sel.l

[@oriente7905]

Lol guy sounds like Link when he climbs walls. "Siiiaaahh!!!"

[@Hermansen]

And if anybody is even more interested, this is a remix of "Reodor's ballad" from the film flåklypa grand prix. Danish composer, Norwegian film, Swedish(?) remix :)
