Before
<p>Chris' second 9b+, climbed almost exactly 10 years after he made the second ascent of <a href="/climb/470/la-dura-dura">La Dura Dura</a>.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>This whole time I’ve been trying to stay in shape, which has been a huge challenge. I never wanted to let go of my climbing goals. But as the years go by, you start to wonder, are things going to coalesce? Am I just saying that to myself, that I’m still in shape and ready? </p>
<p>...</p>
<p>In the lifespan of a climber, it’s really good to do other things. It complements your climbing, and it gives you a different perspective, and then it makes you appreciate climbing in new ways. … The ultimate goal is to be able to climb 5.15 in life, not just on the rock. So I have this higher-arching goal of climbing at my limit while also being present with my kids, and being present as a husband, and creating these climbing gyms and this TV show. All those other things are way out of my comfort zone, but that’s where a lot of growth and the progression of ourselves comes from.[3]</p>

<p>Stefano Ghisolfi has done a youtube video on the route which features great insight to the route <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX5hkFSM5JU">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yX5hkFSM5JU</a></p>

So I have this higher-arching goal of climbing at my limit while also being present with my kids, and being present as a husband, and creating these climbing gyms and this TV show. All those other things are way out of my comfort zone, but that’s where a lot of growth and the progression of ourselves comes from.[3]</p>

<p>There has been speculation as to the nature of the chipping on this route. Stefano Ghisolfi has done a youtube video on the route which features close ups of the holds.

Before
Chris' second 9b+, climbed almost exactly 10 years after he made the second ascent of [La Dura Dura](/climb/470/la-dura-dura).
> This whole time I’ve been trying to stay in shape, which has been a huge challenge. I never wanted to let go of my climbing goals. But as the years go by, you start to wonder, are things going to coalesce? Am I just saying that to myself, that I’m still in shape and ready?
> ...
> In the lifespan of a climber, it’s really good to do other things. It complements your climbing, and it gives you a different perspective, and then it makes you appreciate climbing in new ways. … The ultimate goal is to be able to climb 5.15 in life, not just on the rock. So I have this higher-arching goal of climbing at my limit while also being present with my kids, and being present as a husband, and creating these climbing gyms and this TV show. All those other things are way out of my comfort zone, but that’s where a lot of growth and the progression of ourselves comes from.[3]
