Congrats to @honngy for sending the first repeat of Big Fish in Mallorca! This is a route I first climbed in 2017 and is one of the proudest lines I’ve climbed! To put it in perspective a bit, it’s basically a V12 crux at 70ft with some of the nicest and most aesthetic moves and rock quality. Was so fun to get to spend a few days out there you bro, good job!
Repost from @jimthornburg • I found and scanned some old shots of @chris_sharma today. As I was looking through them, I was reminded just how different Chris’ climbing style was from other top climbers from that era. It’s true that his feet slipped and cut a lot when he was starting out. It’s also true that his technique was more dynamic than anyone else’s at the time and that he progressed through the grades faster than anyone ever had—in just two years he went from 5.11 to 5.14c. That would be impressive in any era, but 30 years ago nothing like that had happened and it scrambled a lot of brains. 1 2. 1st ascent of Necessary Evil (5.14c) at age 15. 3. 1st ascent of Yo Mamma (13a) at The Pinnacles, 1995. 4. On an early ascent of Lardbutt (13c), 1994 (age 13). 5. 1st ascent of Ubermensch (14a) Pinnacles, 1996. 6. Mickeys Beach Arete (13c) 1995. 7. Surf Safari (13d) 1995. 8. Getting a big head, 1994. 9. Supertweak (14c) 2nd ascent, 1996. 10. Trying Biographie extension (5.15a) in 1997 (he made the FA 4 years later). #climbinghistory #climbingphotography #goat #rockclimbing #chrissharma

Welcoming in the fall temps, and happy to have my cozy @prana hoodie after a solid session climbing and falling into the sea in Mallorca. Thanks for the great shots 📸@honngy #pranaadventurer
