Watch Chris Sharma on Hard New 2019 Project

Chris Sharma has a new project that he said might be the hardest new route he’s ever attempted. There aren’t many details about the length, possible grade or location, but you can watch Sharma on the line below.

Sharma was born in California in 1981 and started climbing at the age of 12. He won the National Bouldering Championship at 14 and just a year later made the first ascent of Necessary Evil 5.14c, the first route of this grade in the U.S.A. In 2001, he made the first ascent of a project in Ceuse, France, dubbed Biographie, and called it Realization 5.15a.
