Chris Sharma Sends Mallorca Project at 5.15
Chris Sharma has sent a five-year-old deep water solo project in Mallorca and named it after his daughter Alasha. He did not grade the route but noted it is about as hard as Es Pontas, a 5.15b that he sent in 2006 up an arch with the same name. Sharma’s new route is on the northwest coast of Mallorca and climbs an esthetic piece of stone. Below are two photos, one of Sharma working his project and one after the send.
Es Pontas has not been repeated, despite strong climbers attempting it. Watch Sharma on Es Pontas below.
