A nice day at the local crag. Loving the #pranaoriginals collection. Who else feels the nostalgia when they see that old logo? It transports me to a different era of my life , before kids and our business when life was a lot simpler. Back to the basics. @prana #pranaadventurer 📸 @alarconjimena ❤️

Chris Sharma Just Sent His Hardest Deep Water Solo to Date On Tuesday, November 7, Chris Sharma finished off ‘Black Pearl,’ in Soller, Mallorca, which he says may be harder than ‘Es Pontas’ and ‘Alasha.’ He has been working the line on and off for the last four years. “It represented a progression in deep water soloing for me, and it was a very personal goal that I’ve pursued over the last four years,” says Sharma. “It’s one of a handful of routes that have been on my bucket list.” Click the link in the bio for the full story.

Repost from @prana • Building community is one of the most important parts of climbing and we’re lucky that @chris_sharma has been part of the prAna’s for almost thirty years. When we went to Rocktoberfest with him, he told us about the community he observed within the festival. “It was great meeting so many climbers at the Rocktoberfest. It was a mix of seasoned veterans and people who were relatively new to climbing. All in all, it was a great vibe and so cool to connect with so many psyched climbers!” Read our full interview with Chris at the link in our bio.

“JUMBO PUMPING LOVE” is NOT the name of the hardest rock climb in America. It could have been. So how does a climb gets its name? This story started over 3 decades ago, when a striking, but faint line of pockets – viewed through my binoculars – eventually became one of the most difficult and famous rock climbs in the world. On a cold November day in 1991, perched near the summit of remote Clark Mountain, I embarked on a top down inspection of what was the most king line I ever found. Wild swings into the wall to place bolts revealed section after section of V-hard boulder problems. My psyche was high as I slowly and methodically continued down, placing bolts. It became abundantly clear to me that this entire climb would go, but at a standard much more difficult than the hardest grade in 1991. I thought maybe this would be possible as a multi pitch climb. I tried it, was unable to make it to the halfway anchors, so I set my sights on the other king line to the left which I named Jumbo Pumping Hate (5.14a). Fast forward to 2008, when Chris Sharma redpointed my original king line project. In true Sharma fashion, he brought it to a new level by climbing the entire wall in one very long pitch. He named this “Jumbo Love” and graded it 5.15b. It stood as the hardest and proudest sport climb in America for 14 years. There were a few repeats by America’s strongest sport climbers. In 2013, I belayed Sharma on a hard start (bolted by Jorge Visser) to Jumbo Love. This was like adding a 5.14b, with no rest, to a long 5.15b. I tried to do the math… how hard could this be? The direct start to Jumbo Love remained un-redpointed until October 2022, when Seb Bouin linked it all together. So how does a route get its name? What would Seb name it? Do you honor the history in your name as Sharma did with Jumbo Love, or do you call it something completely different? Seb messaged Chris and me. With a little back and forth, he decided on “Suprême Jumbo Love” (5.15c).
