Chris Sharma makes first ascent of Black Pearl, 9a+ DWS
Chris Sharma has made the first ascent of Black Pearl, a 9a+ Deep Water Solo route, in Mallorca, Spain.
This week's Friday Night Video is the quintessential bouldering film: Rampage. Released in 1999, it features a youthful, 19-year-old Chris Sharma roaming around the American west with friends Obe Carrion, Josh Lowell and Brett Lowell. Travelling in an old RV, the team visit emerging bouldering areas and establish hundreds of problems over a two month period. Rampage was one of the first films by climbing film giants Josh and Brett Lowell, who have gone on to be part of the team responsible for the Reel Rock Tour.
