Boy done great again ---- second one this year?

And such a nice lad.....makes it so much sweeter.

"It seems Chris Sharma has managed to make the FA of Golpe de estado in the El Pati-sector of Siurana. The route is a direct version of Estado critico and is made up of one 9a part, directly followed by an 8c+ part, without any rest. Chris was a bit hesitant about the grade, but in the end he decided it was most probably 9b.

This is Grate climbing data. Posts seem a little weak. But maybe the climbers are asleep already.

It is truly fun watching Sharma Climb. He is NOT a boring climber. Just cause yo can't send it don't mean yo can't appreciate it. : DD

Yup Lynne - you are in the right fan club. Way to go Chris!! It is really, really hard to stay at the front of the pack in climbing. That Chris made it to the top is incredible, that he has stayed there for going on 8 years is even more incredible. He is such a nice kid it is easy to underestimate his drive.
