Vita Lukan Onsights 5.14a, an Historic Feat

And watch Chris Sharma's 2007 onsight attempt

Slovenian climber Vita Lukan, 21, has onsighted Geminis 5.14a at Rodellar, Spain. The 40-metre line has been climbed in the past by Dave Graham, Anak Verhoeven and Novato Marin. Watch Chris Sharma go for an onsight attempt in 2007.
