Chris Sharma on "La Rambla"

In this short Petzl Sport film, Chris Sharma takes on “La Rambla,” the iconic Siurana testpiece in Catalunya, Spain. Shot around his December 2006 push on the route, it places you right at the base of one of sport climbing’s most famous lines as Sharma shares the moment with a strong crew of friends and rivals, including Dave Graham, Dani Andrada, Yuji Hirayama, and Edu Marín. What makes it worth your five minutes is the mix of simplicity and intensity: a world-class climber working a brutally technical sequence, learning the micro-beta, and committing when it finally counts. With crisp, no-nonsense storytelling and the unmistakable atmosphere of Siurana limestone, it’s a quick hit of focus and pressure—perfect if you want a glimpse of how top-end redpoints are built, try by try, until the send happens.
