Chris Sharma, Dave Graham, Daniel Woods, Klemen Bečan and Matty Hong session the limestone cliffs of Oliana, Spain this winter. Bečan makes the
first ascent of Joe Mama (9a+/5.15a), adding to the growing list of 5.15 sport routes at the crag. Woods, the day after the video
was shot, sends Papichulo (5.15a),
his fourth ascent of the grade. And Sharma gets on his Le Blond project to the right of La Dura Dura.
“I think it might even be harder,” Sharma says in the video. “Barely possible.”
