Before
<p>Chris Sharma started climbing in the 1990s aged 12 before winning the US national championships 2 years later. He went on to reinvigorate hard sport climbing in the US, quickly repeating many of the hardest lines before establishing his own hard routes such as <a href="/climb/552">Necessary Evil</a> in 1997, the first 8c+/14c in the USA. </p>
<p>Through the rest of his career he took sport climbing in to the modern era by cementing the 9a+ and 9b grades with a string of cutting edge ascents throughout Europe (<a href="/climb/488/golpe-de-estado">Golpe de Estado</a>, <a href="/climb/496/neanderthal">Neanderthal</a>, <a href="/climb/502/stoking-the-fire">Stoking the Fire</a> and many more), as well as adding some of the hardest routes in America with climbs such as <a href="/climb/490/jumbo-love">Jumbo Love</a> and <a href="/climb/1434/dreamcatcher">Dreamcatcher</a>.</p>
<p>Somewhat uniquely amongst his contemporaries, Chris' climbing has been extremely well documented from a young age due to a close relationship with videographers <a href="/climber/1712/josh-lowell">Josh Lowell</a> and <a href="/climber/2271/brett-lowell">Brett Lowell</a>.</p>
<p>Alongside his sport climbing Chris is a prolific deep water soloist, climbing many of the existing hard lines and then adding many of his own: <a href="/climb/1205/es-pontas">Es Pontas</a>, <a href="/climb/1273/alasha">Alasha</a>, <a href="/climb/2841/black-pearl">Black Pearl</a>, <a href="/climb/2450/big-fish">Big Fish</a> and <a href="/climb/4343/vision-quest">Vision Quest</a> being some of the hardest DWS lines in the world.</p>
<p>In 2023 he added <a href="/climb/2449/sleeping-lion">Sleeping Lion</a> (9b) in <a href="/crag/1728/siurana">Siurana</a>. Initially suggested at 9b+ it has settled at 9b after several repeats, but remains an impressive new addition at one of Spain's most famous crags.</p>

Before
Chris Sharma started climbing in the 1990s aged 12 before winning the US national championships 2 years later. He went on to reinvigorate hard sport climbing in the US, quickly repeating many of the hardest lines before establishing his own hard routes such as [Necessary Evil](/climb/552) in 1997, the first 8c+/14c in the USA.
Through the rest of his career he took sport climbing in to the modern era by cementing the 9a+ and 9b grades with a string of cutting edge ascents throughout Europe ([Golpe de Estado](/climb/488/golpe-de-estado), [Neanderthal](/climb/496/neanderthal), [Stoking the Fire](/climb/502/stoking-the-fire) and many more), as well as adding some of the hardest routes in America with climbs such as [Jumbo Love](/climb/490/jumbo-love) and [Dreamcatcher](/climb/1434/dreamcatcher).
Alongside his sport climbing Chris has been a prolific deep water soloist, climbing many of the existing hard lines and then adding many of his own: [Es Pontas](/climb/1205/es-pontas), [Alasha](/climb/1273/alasha), [Black Pearl](/climb/2841/black-pearl), [Big Fish](/climb/2450/big-fish) and [Vision Quest](/climb/4343/vision-quest) being some of the hardest DWS lines in the world.
In 2023 he added [Sleeping Lion](/climb/2449/sleeping-lion) (9b) in [Siurana](/crag/1728/siurana). Initially suggested at 9b+ it has settled at 9b after several repeats, but remains an impressive new addition at one of Spain's most famous crags.
