Sharma Sends 5.15b Project! Updated with Video
Chris Sharma has just made the first ascent of Stoking the Fire (5.15b) in Santa Linya, Spain. The route was a long-term project for Sharma, and he reflects about the elusive feeling of finally climbing to the chains of a next level project.
La Dura Dura, which when completed could be the world’s hardest rock climb, is near.
“Climbing is so much about the process and all of the lessons we learn along the way but it sure is good to get to the top once in a while,” writes Sharma on Instagram. “It’s nice to remember what that feels like and that I still have it in me! Psyched for more!!”
Check out this video by Joe Kinder of Sharma working what has now become Stoking the Fire (5.15b).
