Whilst there are a great many 'climbing greats', few are greater than Chris Sharma. Ever since the age of 14 Sharma has been pushing standards forwards in terms of both difficulty and quality, with a list of cutting edge ascents spanning over two decades.
Since his relocation to Spain he has started a family, a gym, and is now working alongside Tenaya to design and create their next generation of climbing shoes.
This is only the beginning, so watch out for more details...
Notable first ascents:
2000: The Mandala (V12), V12 - Bishop, California
2001: Realization/Biographie (9a+), 9a+ - Ceuse, France
2004: Practise of the Wild, 8C - Magic Wood, Switzerland
