[veHveHveHveHveH]

今宵俺達同月見

[ClimbingSoldier]

Amazing

[yomattieT]

repointing is just a training wheel the real goal is in the first asent.

[leguanc]

I love the advert at the end

work less climb more, muhehe

that's what i want to do, just my boss doesn't like it

[d1a2n3e489]

do you have a sling for me?

[leon0071]

this fuckin guy must be made of 110% pure muscle. I mean this is just fucked, but what a pro

[d1a2n3e489]

it´s not only muscle you know, the head makes 60 - 70 % of the work at climbing

[leguanc]

and durability. One must be durable and encourged enough to climb like this. I really admire this guy.

[phished69]

you definatly need to use your head when climbing no doubt, but at this level (15a), it basically comes down to genetics.

[d1a2n3e489]

yeah you´re right

[revilorellim86]

@phished69 It comes down to training more than genetics. You have to be prepared to dedicate pretty much all the time you have to climbing to perform at this level. Maybe theres a genetic aspect to being that mentally dedicated but I think most people have more physical potential than they are aware of...

[ISIJAH]

@revilorellim86 Yeah man everything is what the person in question choose to do. You can choose to be detemend, and you can choose to be negative. =)

[xpkkingx]

So called bolt a 1:38 is the famous blue rock of this area.

[coltleader]

That bolt nonsense is not true. Go watch the vid of Adam Ondra redpointing this route. He steps on the same "bolt" which is clearly rock.

[mohr90]

The song please ...

[engertsham1]

it's very nice!!! xD FUCK

[DrKaito10]

What song is it at the end of the video?

[monkeyapeman]

best climbing video on youtube??

[phished69]

how does Ramonet do it better than Sharma, and more correctly? They both made brilliant ascents of one of the hardest routes in the world, just using different styles. Just because someone climbs with a different style doesn't mean they climb better....

[gerardo231]

he means that chris went to the right the rest at a very good hold while ramonet did it without the rest

[fedeclimb]

mythical sharma!!

[CRuJi0]

Ramonet do rambla better than chris, and correctly

[ermarauder]

correctly??? so sad not to appreciate other climbers.

[CRuJi0]

I reffer correctly to the final moment, however i love and apreciate sharma's style and spirit but the truth is the truth.

[fyro4life]

What the hell do you mean by "correctly?"

[S70tC6]

what! how does he know where exactly to put his fingers?!

[S70tC6]

wait, strike that, "redpointing" and a great climber. earth to joyce!

[drsus0]

stepped on a bolt? sharma would step on a bolt knowing full well theres 3-5 cameras rolling close ups on him...yea... no one here has found a foot right next to a bolt? i know i have.

[coltleader]

Yeah I'm so sure that he would decide to cheat by stepping on a bolt while knowing that he is being filmed.

[sailskisurf23]

yea it does look like he steps on a bolt or sumthing at 1.38

[mhraue]

sharma does not need to step on bolts

[BeapTape]

yeahhr for shure he can't even climb a 7a they just cut it right so that we think he's a good climber!!!

[projectleake101]

Are you dumb?I think your an ignorant wanna be.

[projectleake101]

sorry this was supposed to go to another comment!Youtube doesnt work properly with the reply button

[katis999]

isnt redpointing using the rope only for safety? i m sure that at times part of his weight was held by the rope as u can c.

[mindmode]

Redpointing is sending a route after you gave it a few tries. Flashing is going it the first time you up on it.

[EG0SUMDEUS]

flashing is with beta, onsighting is first try no beta

[ermarauder]

new to climbing, what is beta? thanks for the help.

[EG0SUMDEUS]

beta is watching someone do it first or having someone tell you the moves on a crux section or something

[Oli001122]

beta: having prior knowledge of a route via the means of video or watching someone. It'll blow yor onsight though!!!!

[nichdavi04]

@mindmode but isn't he pink pointing? the quickdraws are already there

[realcampusman]

@nichdavi04

yes, but that was originally used for trad when the gear was already hung. Chris is getting his green point. POT HEAD! dude would climb so much harder if he didn't smoke.

[hansmaro]

Fucking stupid comment! What is wrong with you?

[horvinn1]

how bout shuttin the fuck up

[mhraue]

no.

[yummy4800]

have shower sharma!!! great climber tho

[legalicethegreen]

Unbelievable. It`s just fun to watch chris sharma climbing.

[ShleGe]

Could someone tell me what the song is please!

Thanks

[cowmanfred]

awesome footage, shameless petzl ad at the end.

[kolibal]

Adam Ondra climb this line on 5 try...He has 14 year old....

[ClimbingAddictt]

he was 15 when he did it

[Panjojo]

he also probably wasn't as baked as sharma was

[ajdogsnoopy]

well redpoint means he did it multiple times but eventually got it. if he would have onsighted it then he would have done it the first try. and hes bein belayed just hes taking the rope up with him its called leading.

[teahupo26]

wat an awesome achievement i watched edu le marin try this for a month and not get it. go chris

[CDPuffer]

dang eh. he did it in 9 trys

[michelebordoni]

stop.... look a video "chris il barone"

sharma at 1.38 put a foot on a spit...

[huyiy]

spit?

[RobertGoulet298]

doesn't redpointing mean you climb it without falling while at the same time placing your own protection?

his quick draws are already in place. still an amazing climb though.

[thefox31]

No. If he placed his own pro, it'd be trad. This is a sport climb. You can redpoint in either style.

[gerardo231]

redpoint is sending the route with a few tries before onsight first try no beta flash is first try with beta

[FAKEDSHIT]

love this guy hes whicked.. chris your my idol

[sharmastyle]

stop stop!! pay atention!! look at the 1:38 minuts.. sharma put a foot on a spit!!!! I don't beleve it..

[amayalluqu616]

it looks like a spit, but it`s just a rock.

[huyiy]

why would he do that.

[Jonas223XC]

what a beast

[cachimbopr]

shut the f@#ck up all you hating mofos... he's climbing one of the hardest routes in the world... again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fieteschulze]

rally phat pictures! awesome! 5 stars from berlin for this one!

[Servant324]

that move to the pinch at 3:14 is NASTY

[allyshank]

coor yeah man

that dyno looks pretty easy theres sumink like that simaler at my local gym wall

pretty cool

[skierboy26]

you do realize it is extremely deceptive on camera. Most of those holds are basically nothing, not to mention on stuff that is really overhanging... after using a bunch of nothing...

[allyshank]

what did i say?

i think it was like those holds look rubbish

as in bad to use

[fyro4life]

thats absolutely true, the camera makes the climb look possible when gods themselves would have a tough time thinking where to even begin

[climborlistentomusic]

Nice but the beginnig is a little glorious. sharma looks like a god the music, the colours aso:).

"Bindhammer is Redpointing this route without uuuh- and aaah-..." it isn't importantboth of them were climbed it.And sharma climbed routes what bindhammer wasn't...

[allyshank]

HAHA

"do you have a sling for me"

HAHAHA

wikid

i love chris sharma hes so inspiring(i cant spell that word)

[YeniiRakii]

the music omg -.-

[sebigoetz]

lol... cblion sorry but stfu!!!

[cblion]

Bindhammer is Redpointing this route without uuuh- and aaah- grunts like a tennis-virgin.

And you can see Bindhammer doing the route from the beginning till the end without any strange shortcuts.

So maybe sharma should rather climb 7b or so. That he can probably really redpointing it.

[CDPuffer]

your an idiot

[psJohnny7]

Notice how Sharma is wearing RED in all his big sends - La Rambla, Realization, Es Pontas, Dreamcatcher... The color of Power!! Tiger knows this secret too/

[christosking]

maybe he hasn't many t-shirts and uses the same one over the years! :PP

[kricir]

the song is just bunch of garage band loops, I have a mac and half of those loops came with it.

[sibtig]

does anyone know the song (not the chorus one ;-) )

greaz

[enfingret]

has any of you seen the video of Edu Marin on la rambla? that is insane ;b but still, Good job chris!!!

[baldcl]

cool

[thetubemeister82]

Sorry I forgot to post the link and the site doesnt seem to let me post it. Search for spadout and climbing terminology. Its a really good site for climbing info.

[allyshank]

i'm trying to figure out where the crux move is

is it the point where he makes lots of grunts and noises or is it just below that?

but a 9a is just one massive crux lol

[thetubemeister82]

Guys this will solve all your terminology problems. Redpointing etc can be found at the bottom of the page.....

[kamikazeclimberr]

lol guys actually redpoint is when you have done the route before but didnt flash it (make it to the top without falling). but then another time afterwards you do it without falling or wieghting the rope. its not the hardest route you have ever done

[CRuJi0]

Sharma doesnt execute all the route. He avoid to follow a rectum line at the final. Pay attention in the minute 3:53 when sharma goes to right. Maybe the level will change to 9a ;(

However you can look at Ramonet's video. He execute perfectly the route without detours :D

[thefox31]

It looks to me like Ramonet and Sharma both do that same move. As far as I can tell, both climbers do an identical route. Sharma just goes faster with large dynamic moves while Ramonet goes in small, slow and smoothe steps.

And what's a rectum line?

[rave44boy]

Ramonet's video is not of his actual climb. It's a recreation.

[CASPERCLIMBER]

A redpoint is the hardest route youve ever climbed.

[julesdogg]

When redpointing the climber should not be using pre-placed quick draws, they should be placed during the ascent. Awesome climbing, I have redpointed 7a+ and found it desperately hard! La Rambla is 9a+ !!!

[mikedanese]

Redpointing is when you mess up on your first try and work the problem until you get it. It can be on your second try but it usually takes more.

[typefoutu]

I always thought a redpoint was climbing to the top without fucking up on your second try. A flash is making it to the top on your first attempt without fucking up top rope lead or free.

[CASPERCLIMBER]

Thats a send.

[gusaix]

he is a monster !!!

[TankJacked]

a climbing video game would ruin the sanctity of the sport.

[amayalluqu616]

so great!!!! he´s a climbing God!!!! there should be a climbing video game, and this dude should be a locked player!!!! :O´

[ylfoo1983]

how does the camera crew follows his movements?? hmmmm

[manontheedge68]

they showed it at one part.. attached to a bunch of ropes in midair somehow

[ylfoo1983]

I guess i must be blind to miss it.. wahhaaha anyway thanx!

[cachimbopr]

Dont know if you know this but most hard ascents in sport climbing have been with the quick draws on the rock. The important thing is you dont rest on the pro as you climb. Imagine climbing la rambla with 20 quick draws on your harness! Its not like you have to look for the placements, the bolts are already there!!!!

[kyligz]

no such thing as Pinkpoint... theres redpoint, or toprope so stfu losers and learn to climb

[Servant324]

imbecile.

[matt10cool]

are all these fasar noises cos he is high?

[SeanSingle]

no u idiot that just sorta happens when u climb at your limit.

[petepiaire]

can someone tell me whats redpoint/pinkpoint

[windguruCZ]

Briefly:

Both RP and PP means climbing the route from the start to the top without relaxing using the protection (e.g. "sitting in a bolt"). The difference is that when climbing RP you have to clip the quickdraws in the protection instead of having them already clipped when doing PP climb (sorry, my English kind of sucks..)

[petepiaire]

thank you for the answer and my english sucks too hahaha

[windguruCZ]

nevermind. the important thing is we understand each other;)

[windguruCZ]

Sure this is no red point. The video oughta be tagged "sharma pink pointing the Rambla". I think no one has redpointed this route so far, that would be way too hard even for these excellent climbers..

[diabolais]

What did he mean by "I hate this f****ng tick marks" and what is he doing there?

[cenewgent]

tick marks are the marks left on the rockface/wall by climbers' chalky hands. he's brushing off the chalk/tick marks there at the end.

[peakrr]

I love it when professionally produced content makes youtube. Thx Petzl. I'm building a social news site for climbers. Google 'peakr' to check it out.

[jeniral]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaa

[cleanber]

red point???

i think it is a pink point.. isn´t it?

[SeanSingle]

who cares he sent it either way

[cleanber]

i agree!!! hehehe

[bmwwilliams]

I think it's generally held that above a certain difficulty, there's not any difference, since it's hard enough to make placing gear impossible

[cleanber]

really, in this case it is very diffucult, ok! but.. the red point have a signicative diference for the climber! its harder than one pink point

[SeanSingle]

its one arm movement or two big difference the clip stances were all off of pockets anyways its not gonna make a difference

[JVonD]

Sharma kicks butt! Jumpy vid messes with my eye balls.

[Apos1978]

In some of the sequences the ropedrag seemed quite massive...

[ormaciek]

zajebioza

[ezsraism]

yeah doing long moves with those crimpers and pinchers towards the end of the vid..he definitely is insane

[jamminrastamon]

thats sick

[Mlk2r]

That really doesn't show how steep it is- you stand at the base and the project rope from the top is about 35m away!

Insane.

[FxFvD]

its raMbla not ranbla according to me

[TatankaIXc]

great video, great route...Chris is Insane
