[smouthiful1]

[qwert371]

[quadeddie]

What's new Scooby Doo?

[lagos6]

FREAKINNGG AMAIZINGG!!!

[DonaldBumsfeld]

the music fits this clip so well

good effort

[sonjaxfactor]

wow!!

[devin2k7]

how does a white guy have the last name sharma?

[A2Rclimbing]

is because his parets were interested whit indian philosophy..and may be more than a simple interest they have some origin,or spiritual rebirt in induism

[Pure4ndProud]

racist ?

[kmetvhribih]

holly mother a roof. and the top out is totally sick

[StratocasterChadwick]

Those aren't bugs. There is probably a draft through that hole blowing the chalk around. But that's chalk for sure.

[mikecallvideos]

You can get the whole movie if you want more, its called Best of the West. The sequel is Big Game, all New Zealand bouldering with the same crew.

[wafflesm101]

did anyone else notice the hundreds of bugs flying out of there?

[HawtGlass]

how did they find this place????

[ste92righe]

@ 1.46 looks like a penguin..lol

[myFlowX]

My Hands are getting sweaty when i see this..

I mean 9 or max 10- is possible to climb on good days, but 10+,11+ or THIS... never

just for the best ones in the whole world....

[TheEconomist79]

It is hueco...

[towna99]

he seriously isnt human, any way its not nz the last second was but yeah he is the elite

[thejugglingfool]

this guy is my idol i love his determination

[topsoul]

That´s Chalk in the Air

[jimbo9203]

so many slopers o.0

[jimbo9203]

is that chalk dust in the air, or flies?

[Recorne93]

guess third :D

[jimbo9203]

huh?

[daniphobic]

omg, so much strength in his hands, wrists, and arms in general.

to be able to lift your own body weight continuously with just your arms is amazing.

+ the free spirit he has inspires me

[Roflwahflez]

Each climb is different mate. Just because 1 V13 can be onsighted, doesn't mean they all can be. And thinking about the ridiculous amounts of bouldering problems in the world, you have to agree that this could easily be in the top 100 of hardest, and in my book that makes it "one of the hardest bouldering problems in the world"

[juikm]

V13 is ard, but not "one of the hardest boulder problems in the world". James Pearson onsighted this grade a couple of times.

[somegi9]

dude, in 2005 V12 upwards was considered godlike

[tombelgrano]

um onsight a boulder problem? id say that was pretty much impossible, you get so much beta just looking at a boulder problem, dunno, depends on your insight definition. And man v13 is pretty up there...i dont think you can go of the 8c and 8c+ boulders being set, especially in europe where boulder overgrading compared to the rest of the world looks to happening, no new zealander has ever sent v13 in NZ, thats gotta count for something

[juikm]

Onsight means no previous knowledge on the route, ie you've got no more insight into the route than you get from looking at it and trying to work it out for yourself. Boulder problems can be onsighted, flashed and wroked on the same terms as a route can.

[FalseFace3268]

i never saw dan osman climb 5.15a

[Abendmahl23]

maybe, but sadly so much more insane to do ropejumbs. it was just a matter of time that he falls to his dead.

[partiyan]

dan osman was so much better

[professionalpirate7]

makes it look soo damn easy

[schmerlville]

great climber, great music, great combination

[bxrockstar]

what area is this?? would love to know? anyone?

[EG0SUMDEUS]

its right down below that hi-pro glow and the tickler and mr. serious

[begott]

i think it´s castle hill in new zealand, isn´t it?!

[felsklette]

i'm pretty shure it's hueco tanks in texas

[olelr92]

yea

[Cpt0bvi0u5]

wow he made that look so easy. He truly is one of the best in the world

[XDevonousX]

Fugazi's great

[xXjamie05Xx]

not the best just one of them

[jrpimpdog]

more like V14

[Ilovechrissharma]

Damn, he is fucking so cooling !!

[patap0uff]

Y'a rien a dire, juste a admirer..

Ce gars est hallucinant

O_o

[moobaseto]

Mr Sharma....you are so fantastic.

[qazwsx22]

haha BOONE

[mitjasan]

yeah. I´m just fine..

[xbelafontex]

AAH I want to go to Hueco! This looks so sweet! That triangle at 1:16 is awesome

[UnderTheTuscanNun]

i just went bouldering for the 1st time and was so happy to climb up a rock that wasn't inverted at all and that was so hard...I can't imagine hanging upside down and how much strength that takes in the hands to be able to hold yourself up like that.......

[campusmang]

ya climbing takes a ton of experience to do something like that.

someone figured out an easier way to do this climb, that happens a lot

[feedyurrHEAD]

haha, and here i am all proud of a V6.....

[orangejulius072]

@feedyurrHEAD ditto for that.

i'll be lucky to ever do a v10..

[Kydjk12]

@feedyurrHEAD im proud of my v2 haha.. i just started climbing 2 weeks ago but im hooked!

[smouthiful1]

@feedyurrHEAD you shoul be i mean im pround of my v3 imean if thats what youve acomplished so far be proud

[CarniverousBubblegum]

@feedyurrHEAD lol, im proud of a v4 i did!

[rawbin510]

@feedyurrHEAD ....and you have all rights to be proud, I guess.

Maybe you pushed yourself harder on that v6 then chris was on that v13. XD

...I guess the chances are high that some guy climbed something very close to his limit- which was not hard in terms of grades, but the hardest he could climb that moment....

[mrbikerider27]

@feedyurrHEAD haha im like one move away from a v5 and im PUUUMPED

[sarvelaj]

@feedyurrHEAD dude you should be, thats still badass, im at like V3 on a good day, but i've only been in the sport for about a month. It's an obsession with me now :D

[krypekeeper]

@sarvelaj grats, i see its been 3 months since you said this. you still climbing? what level you climbing now after 4 months? ive been climbing for 1 month and did my first V4 last night

[sarvelaj]

@krypekeeper thanks man, and yeah I'm still climbing. I'm not too sure was i'm climbing because the gym im climbing at now doesnt rate boulder problems, but i can tell you that they are quite a bit harder than the V3 that i had climbed before. Right now I'm climbing at the highest level that ive been at. there is a 5.11c that starts with the tough bouldering overhang. I have the bouldering part down, i just am working on the endurance to finish it. :D gratz on your success dude, keep it up:)

[littleninjasayhi]

Ahhhh!

[dissent666]

Woah, that's insane!

[sailskisurf23]

fuckin sick, a little grovely at the end tho, n did u c those flies? tough to concentrate

[LordofClaino]

9a plus???? no...

[EG0SUMDEUS]

i watched an 18 year old kid do this 3rd try... hmmm

[bkcraft]

tell that kid to post a video....and call sponsors.

[EG0SUMDEUS]

that kid does have videos and currently is living/climbing with chris sharma in spain, so i think hes got it on lockdown

[bkcraft]

cool. what is his name?

[EG0SUMDEUS]

ryan roden, he goes by future though

[Ilovechrissharma]

His name is Chris Sharma. The best climber in the world !

[EG0SUMDEUS]

but also he did the flame third try not flamignon which is sharmas extension

[lymphocyta]

crazy and impressive..

[myFlowX]

xD

crazy, but i love those crazy boulders ;D

but surely not the same level ^^

7c+/8a vs. 9a+ ;)

[ClimbingAddictt]

lol.....u said u climbed from 6c to 7a in another comment bro....

[myFlowX]

u know its different if u climb a wall or u boulder something.

[153mauldethrd]

castle hill is in nz,

fugazi, awesome sounds

[agentwtf]

Insane route

[bocajbrumby]

those slopers were insane!!

[joeltkin]

Sick slopers and crimps

[huyiy]

wicked top out

[jostmue]

crazy boulder!

[pedrobutelli]

Fugazi, but what's the name of the song?

[socialistwolf]

"Guilford Fall," I think it's the demo version from the album Instrument.

[dan04k13]

Yes, that's correct. The album version is slightly differently and has vocals. You can find it on the Instrument DVD soundtrack by them.

[Soymilllk]

god damn he got the FA!

[SenorMADador]

slopers...upside down. f'kin' A dude f'kin' A. i thought good crimps upside down were bad but THAT was pretty much freakin' amazing.

[stefen181111]

yes, fugazi does do the music for this problem.

[coltleader]

Man whered he get the red pants. I've been looking everywhere for red pants.

[devilaces]

that move at 2:22 looks like madness.

the question is this; does Chris train in Sparta?

[Arlekin83]

I think it was in New Zeland.

[CDPuffer]

no man im pretty sure its in heuco.., not posative tho

[catsgame]

def. hueco

[ylfoo1983]

crazy holds.... love the last part when he tops up,, shakes his butts into the opening...

[Tools13itch]

I see 0 good holds on that fucker, insane.

[amayalluqu616]

thats wicked sick!!!!

[jugh123]

yo aric. most of the people that watch these videos already know what bouldering is. most people who dont know what bouldering is dont know what a spotter or spotting is. in conclusion, your description was rubbish

[aricgoe]

Hope this is more satisfying for you.

[coda68800]

What's a "fugazi"?

[Holdsworth12345]

Watch the movie 'Donnie Brasco' and you'll find out!

[deathbybowtie]

Fugazi is the band that plays the song in that video, I believe.

[DonTheThird]

whats the powder thats on his hands?

[Lilclimber]

are you joking me? Its chalk

[DonTheThird]

jesus sorry man, i was just wondering i mean fuck calm down prick

[PawelPaluch]
