Infinity Lane - the uncut version - feat. Chris Sharma
Infinity Lane – the uncut version drops you right onto the limestone walls of the Gorges de la Jonte in France, following Chris Sharma during the Roctrip Millau 2009 as he takes on a 90-meter, three-pitch sport testpiece linked into one continuous line. With no rehearsing allowed and only a single attempt each day, the film captures the raw reality of a flash ascent on an 8b+ route—no edits to soften the exposure, the pump, or the pressure. What makes this one essential is its you-are-there feel: the pacing of a real attempt, the quiet focus between cruxes, and the way the wall seems to stretch endlessly above him. It’s a rare chance to watch a top climber manage movement, breathing, and commitment over sustained terrain, and the uncut format turns every decision into a story beat—perfect for anyone who loves big, uninterrupted climbing and the thrill of seeing if it all holds together to the chains.

The uncut version of the flash ascent of the Infintiy Lane by Chris Sharma, like if you were there ! It happened during the Roctrip Millau 2009, in Gorges de La Jonte. Chris flashed the 90-meters route, graded 8b+. Infinity Lane is a something new we thought up for the 2009 Millau Natural Games. The two Ultimate Routes, located at the Cathédrale in the Gorges de la Jonte (Aveyron, France), are actually three-pitch sport lines that the participants have to link together into one long, single pitch. The grade is about 8a (90 meters) for the women and 8b+ (90 meters) for the men. Climbers had four days to link the route. They weren't allowed to work the moves - once a climber fell, she or he was lowered to the ground and had to start over from the beginning the next day. Martina Cufar and Florence Pinet both onsighted the Women's Ultimate Route... Dani Andrada and Mickaël Fuselier made it almost to the top before falling near the anchors on the men's route. However it took Chris Sharma only one try to get to the top...
