Before
James pearson is an all round climber from the peak district in the UK.
Growing up, James established himself with fast repeats of many hard and scary gritstone routes such as [Equilibrium](/climb/606/equilibrium), at the time one of the hardest gritstone routes around, as well as putting up hard routes of his own such as [The Promise](/climb/704/the-promise) at [Burbage North](/crag/88/burbage-north).
As well as climbing hard trad James also repeated many hard boulder problems. Most notably in 2007 he flashed three problems in the 8A+/B range [Ganymede Takeover](/climb/1665/ganymede-takeover), [The Great Shark Hunt](/climb/1666/the-great-shark-hunt) and [Schule des Lebens](/climb/1667/schule-des-lebens). At the time each of these was considered 8B which would make these ascents some of the hardest flashes in the world at the time though these problems have subsequently been downgraded.
In 2008 James courted controversy when he established [The Walk of Life](/climb/581/the-walk-of-life) at [Dyers Lookout](/crag/674/dyers-lookout) and gave it the unprecedented grade of E12, suggesting it was harder than any other route in the UK at the time. The route is now considered E9, and on reflection James has admitted the route was not in his style which is why it felt as hard as it did for him.
After the controversy around The Walk of Life James moved to Europe and spent a lot of time becoming a more well rounded climber. Around the same time he met his now-wife [Caroline Ciavaldini](/climber/553/caroline-ciavaldini). Putting his training to good use James has now repeated and established a slew of hard sport and trad routes around the world. Notable ascents include many hard onsight and flashes in Pembroke in South Wales, a repeat of [Dave MacLeod's](/climber/146/dave-macleod) [Rhapsody](/climb/582/rhapsody) at [Dumbarton Rock](/crag/189/dumbarton-rock), [Jacopo Larcher's](/climber/590/jacopo-larcher) [Tribe](/climb/653/tribe) and the first ascent of [Le Voyage](/climb/840/le-voyage).
In 2023 James once again suggested E12 for [Bon Voyage](/climb/2388/bon-voyage), it has held this grade after a handful of repeats.

After
Few climbers have experienced both the highs and lows of elite climbing as publicly as James Pearson.
As a teenager growing up in the Peak District, UK, Pearson established his reputation as a 'keen youth' with fast – and often sketchy – repeats of the boldest grit routes of the day, such as [Equilibrium](/climb/606/equilibrium) (E10) and a terrifying skyhook-only ascent of [Knockin' on Heaven's Door](/climb/644/knockin'-on-heaven's-door).
He went on to establish hard grit routes of his own, most notably [The Groove](/climb/664/the-groove) (E9) at [Cratcliffe Tor](/crag/11/cratcliffe-tor), a longstanding 'last great problem' with desperate climbing which has seen very few repeats.
As well as climbing hard trad, Pearson is a devoted boulderer. In 2007 he flashed three problems in the 8A+/B range [Ganymede Takeover](/climb/1665/ganymede-takeover), [The Great Shark Hunt](/climb/1666/the-great-shark-hunt) and [Schule des Lebens](/climb/1667/schule-des-lebens). At the time each of these was considered 8B which would make these ascents some of the hardest flashes in the world at the time, though these problems have subsequently been downgraded. In more recent years he has consolidated the 8C grade, with repeats of the world class [Mystic River](/climb/1905/mystic-river) (8C) and [The Finnish Line](/climb/106/the-finnish-line) (8C).
In 2008 James famously courted controversy when he established [The Walk of Life](/climb/581/the-walk-of-life) at [Dyers Lookout](/crag/674/dyers-lookout) and gave it the unprecedented grade of E12, suggesting it was far harder than any other trad route in the world at the time. However, the 50m slab pitch was in a style he was unfamiliar with; the route was swiftly down graded to E9 and James became the subject of online vitriol. As a consequence, he left the UK and moved to Innsbruck, where he began to work on widening his abilities.
Around the same time he met his now-wife, competition star [Caroline Ciavaldini](/climber/553/caroline-ciavaldini), who mentored him in sport climbing and training. Moving to France and putting his newfound fitness to good use, Pearson repeated and established a slew of hard sport and trad routes around the world.
In 2012 he climbed his first 9a, [Esclatamàsters](/climb/58/esclatamàsters). On a quick trip home in September 2014 he flashed [Something's Burning](/climb/602/something's-burning) (E9) in Pembroke, a high water mark for trad style at the time. Later that month he repeated [Rhapsody](/climb/582/rhapsody) (E11) – a route that 6 years earlier he had publicly dismissed as easy and eliminate, but had been unable to climb.
He made the second ascent of trad super-route [Tribe](/climb/653/tribe) (E11) in 2020, repeated [Lexicon](/climb/1439/lexicon) (E11) with frighteningly little preparation 2022, and made the long-awaited second ascent of the near-mythical [Echo Wall](/climb/554/echo-wall) (E11) in 2024.
Undoubtedly Pearson's swansong is his trad route [Bon Voyage](/climb/2388/bon-voyage), climbed in 2023: a fortuitous line of micro-pockets breaking out left from his earlier route [Le Voyage](/climb/840/le-voyage) (E10). With 9a climbing in a spicy position, Pearson once again suggested E12 – and this time the grade stuck, heralding a new level in trad climbing.

The 'Mona Lisa of bouldering', according to [Niccolò Ceria](/climber/648/niccolò-ceria), this stunning arête is one of the quintessential problems of Fontainebleau.
[Jacky Godoffe](/climber/642/jacky-godoffe) and [Marc le Menestrel](/climber/605/marc-le-menestrel) vied for the first ascent:
>Who, Jacky or Marc, conquered the boulder first? In a spirit of brotherhood, both climbers blur the lines, each valuing the other’s effort. That day, they decided to share the first ascent, thus linking their names to the story of the boulder they would together call ‘Partage’. [1]

In 2009, a ‘finger jug’ snapped off, revealing a characteristic hole. This may have made it a little harder.

After dropping the flash, Tyler's bionic strength snapped off a hold, a decent nubbin next to the hole.
> First I blew my flash attempt way past the hard climbing. And now this! I had broken the finger jug clean off, the second to last hold. I tried to keep composure and got boosted up to the devilish move. I bumped to where the hold used to be, and luckily a slopey pocket remained. A hold you could not use before as the old edge was in the way. At least the line was still possible, that was the important thing. [2]
