I tried Sharma's Sleeping Lion

[@patrickthorpe8860]

Sharma's lines always have the right balance of try-hard, interesting movement, and aesthetic.

[@MrWill830]

Man has put up some of the most classic routes and a TON of them. Really a visionnary of climbing. I think we don't fully grasp the legacy he will leave behind when he retires yet. Like, once we're old he'll have reached myth status lol

[@simoneponticelli4453]

If we exclude Adam Ondra the alien, probably Seb Bouin can take the Chris Charma's scepter as the creator of beautiful and hard lines, but I do not know why it seems like the climbing community is not considering him really much... probably because his lines are too hard for everyone except for him (imagine doing nordic maraton... 130 meters of 9b/+...)

seeing Jorge climbing with you on a line from Chris is just Christmas for me this year :) Hope to see you team up again next year. Jorge is just a beast, probably running out of routes in Spain soon!

[@SirCharcoal]

I loved the filming on this, the problem solving! You could really see how good or bad the holds were and how they were breaking this route down - very rarely do you see that kind of thing other than in bouldering style videos (and often not even on those). Thanks :-)

[@colehibbard2851]

That was Ondra letting out a scream after you said someone besides him is the master of kneebars

As always, the best climbing content! And so happy to see Stefano climbing with Jorge Díaz and how he is really exicited and impressed watching Stefano climbing. Stefano is so humble and gave a lot of prominence to Jorge in the video. He will get the attention he deserves soon, climbing perfecto mundo and maybe a 9c route!

[@amberblackford9999]

This video is an absolute treat. Crushers trying hard but with a chill vibe, tons of climbing, great explanation and not much fluff. Love this Stefano!

[@zeidler8445]

Pleas try la Dura Dura after the Fire. Only Sharma and Ondra climbed that route back in 2013. Was never repeaten...

[@gball8466]

You can really see how Jorge's longer reach allows him to be more static and spread out over Stephano's more dynamic movement on this route.

[@pirishj]

I'd say that's more their different climbing styles. Jorge is slightly shorter than Stephano and it's not the first time he finds different static betas, he's very good on bad crimps. Hope they keep trying the line!

[@jordi95]

It is nice to see Jorge trying the route with you

[@alwaysthink1st]

sorry for the controversial question, but the siurana guidebook from 2023 has a note about the route having chipped or otherwise manufactured holds. what are your thoughts about this?

[@xandutheil67]

La Dura Dura is also shipped. Not unusual on sharmas routes

[@Rankidu]

18:09, you can see a drilled hole being used as a pocket

[@ClimbingADK]

In my opinion if the bolts are installed and the climb is not possible but is close, manufacturing a hold is not the worst thing you can do. Not ideal but better that it can be climbed than the bolts just sit in the cliff on an impossible line

[@dylbinawesomeperson]

So is the chris Sharma rrg classic thug life

[@ClimbingADK]

Bolting with the intent of chipping is a definite no go. In my opinion it is like placing a bolt on an unprotect-able section of a mostly trad climb. Better that it can be climbed, but loses points for impure ethics.

At the beginning of the video they place the quickdraws. A lot of steep routes at least here in Spain also have quickdraws places. Not here tho

draws are often placed on rappel/abseil from a top entry, or you pull on draws from bolt to bolt aid-style

Was this route chipped? The undercling hold looks super sus and too convenient kzbin.info/www/bejne/r4mYmZ58iLJogLc

For sure it's not a natural hold. And isn't the only one 😅

The route has sika to reinforce holds, and in our last go we were not even using that undercling cause we found a different beta, so it would not make sense if it was chipped cause the route is possible even without it 🙂

King Sharma just has the eye for bomber routes! The fanboy in me just hopes the 9b+ grade stays ... i am little doubtful though tbh judging by how quick progress stefano made ...

[@lidontlo]

Stefano is probably one of the most well rounded and strong 9b+ climbers out there. He is definitely not the right person to say “it’s not 9b+ cause he progressed quickly”. At the same time as more climbers and betas come at this route I’m sure a downgrade can be found. Chris climbed in his style and graded it based off that.

[@Duderos]

I hope you are right, but on no other 9b+ he tried, did he think about making gos at the third day. So we'll see@@lidontlo
