Chris Sharma Repeats Joe Mama 5.15a

Chris Sharma has made the second ascent of Joe Mama 5.15a at Oliana, Spain. The route was bolted by Joe Kinder and sent earlier this year by Klemen Bečan. Sharma projected Joe Mama in 2015 and after training with Patxi Usobiaga over the past few months, returned to send it this fall. Sharma continues to be one of climbing’s leading climbers.

Spontaneous days back in Oliana. Surprisingly good conditions and super good vibes with @kbecan25 @kecuca @_felipecamargo_ so pleasant to be back in such a familiar place. This route "joe Mama 9a+" gave me my fair share of beat downs last season. At first a route that I underestimated, it turned into an epic battle that got the best of me. So refreshing to come back this season with an open mind and no expectations other than to just enjoy climbing. Maybe it was in my head or maybe it was all the training with @patxiusobiaga_pucseries last summer ? but I finally felt the flow! So nice to finish off this line! Gotta keep on moving! ? @giancolafoto @prana @sanuk @sterlingrope @sharmaclimbingbcn @evolvusa @petzl_official @walltopia @climbskinspain @redbull @clifbarcompany
