		Sharma tries to invite a tall stranger passing by on the beach, as he needs him badly for the new problem he wants to do.
		Chris is super psyched but he's not climbing, he is spotting and he is so focused and powerful when he is spitting the commands out that he just grabs them on straight arms when they pop of.
		Sharma is smiling and you can see in his eyes that this problem is not about ratings or being the best.

	Chris Sharma - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Chris Omprakash Sharma (born 1981-04-23) is an American rock climber, with many difficult ascents.
		When Sharma won the World Cup of Climbing, it was later recalled after he tested positive for THC, although THC is not a performance enhancing drug.
		Sharma climbed Witness the Fitness (FA in March 2005) in The Ozarks, Arkansas.

		Sharma does appear to be exempt from both the physical and mental weight of gravity's pull.
		Sharma, who still lives in Santa Cruz, first tried climbing at age 11 and was so smitten that he saved his paper-route money to buy a membership at Pacific Edge.
		For Sharma, who has a bent for Eastern philosophies, the appeal of bouldering is in the means, not the end.

	MetroActive Features \| Chris Sharma
		Chris won the Bouldering Nationals in Phoenix, Ariz., at the age of 14, and the next year had nailed his first 5.14c-rated climb, which until recently was the ultimate level on the American rating system.
		After watching Chris Sharma climb on video and at the UCSC quarry, I saw that he is indeed subject to the same gravitational pull as the rest of us.
		It is risky, but Chris believes that if he can make even one beginning climber believe in his or her own ability, then those risks take on a significance that surpasses any adrenaline-laced advertising campaign.

	Chris Sharma \| Outside Online
		Chris Sharma, the 24-year-old monkey boy who in 2001 introduced the world to 5.15 climbing (the sport's hardest grade), recently cobbled together a new boulder problem, across the roof of an Ozarks cave, that some say is one of the hardest lines ever completed.
		To solve Witness the Fitness, a 40-foot-long upside-down jaunt peppered with mushroomlike dollops of iron-hardened sandstone, Sharma had to hold himself parallel to the ground using three fingers in a shallow pocket and a toe hooked on a peanut-size nub.
		Sharma won't grade his prize—he never does—but says it's the hardest he's ever done, which suggests a V15, today's limit for bouldering.

	Rock Climbing Forums: Climbing Disciplines: Bouldering: Chris Sharma DQ'ed Is It True?: Page 3
		Saying that Sharma deserved to be DQ'd because he knew the rules and broke them would be a fine stance to take if the rule were a just one (in situations such as a weight lifter taking steroids, or the re-rolling of dice in in a game of monopoly).
		Sharma was the best boulderer, getting high with his friends didnt make him a better boulderer, so Sharma SHOULD have won.
		Chris broke the rules, but that doesnt mean that he justly deserves to be DQ'd, unless you believe that the rules themselves were just.

	Rock Climbing Forums: Climbing Disciplines: Bouldering: Chris Sharma DQ'ed Is It True?: Page 2
		Taking your argument that "Sharma was wrong because the rules said so" to its logical extreme would justify some pretty horrible things that have happened throughout history- remember that slavey used to be legal (aka "within the rules"), not to mention nazi Germany's treatment of certain minorities.
		Perhaps Sharma wanted to protest the rule against pot, and the effect of his DQ has been to raise the issue to a higher public profile.
		Sharma broke it and Im sure that others did as well, they just werent give the same crap for it that Sharma was and still is getting.

		It all disintegrates." Chris always tries to be completely unattached to the outcome of his every move and totally present with the move that he is doing.
		Chris, who is sponsored by Petzl, Pusher, Präna, and 5.10, is savvy to the commercialism of his sport.
		This time the rope is clipped through the anchor, and Chris covers his face not in frustration, but to contain an expression of overwhelmed elation.

		Surprisingly, Sharma agreed to keep a personal journal for Climbing during his two-and-a-half-month road trip to Europe this past fall.
		We hadnÂ’t heard from Sharma since his departure; we assumed heÂ’d simply aborted the journal assignment, staying true to his reticent nature.
		Within the pages, Sharma had authored not only a spirited recap of his climbing trip, but also an insightful, compelling, and boldly personal look at who he Â— Chris Sharma, the person Â— really is.

		Chris Sharma has redpointed a new sport route among the giant granite boulders below The Chief in Squamish, B.C., and says it’s “probably 14c or 14d.” The 70-foot line, called Dreamcatcher, diagonals across a severely overhanging face on Kacademon Rock.
		Sharma bolted the climb with Sonnie Trotter and worked on it for a few weeks this summer, when he got to the last move, “an all-out dyno,” before falling, according to Josh Lowell, who filmed the climb.

		After making the second ascent of Chris Sharma’s Realization at Céüse in France, Gap native Sylvain Millet is resisting the temptation of attaching a grade to the route.
		Instead, Millet has rejected Chris Sharma’s use of the name Realization to describe the original line of Biographie, a 35 m line first climbed by Arnaud Petit in 1995, plus Sharma’s own 2001 extension.
		With visitors tearing up the bouldering scene, local boy Chris Webb is representing the home side on the route front by putting up White Ladder, Australia’s first 5.14c and the hardest route in the country.
