Chris Sharma
Raised in Santa Cruz, California, Chris Sharma started climbing at the age of 12, and it soon became apparent that he possessed an exceptional natural talent. At 14 he won the Sport Climbing Nationals and in the following year he climbed his first route of the grade 5.14c (Necessary Evil). By the age of 15 he had climbed most of the hardest routes in America and placed second in the World Cup.
Sharma is well known for his highly spiritual nature and climbing philosophy. He often uses visualization and meditation techniques before attempting especially difficult routes or boulder problems, and becomes very personally invested in projects, sometimes attempting them for weeks or months before earning the ascent.
Sharma prefers dynamic, “acrobatic” climbing with spread-out, well defined holds rather than delicate crimpers or cracks. He has a unique talent for using his momentum and grip strength to power through challenging moves.
