Chris Sharma - Pachamama 5.15

Chris Sharma - Pachamama 5.15 drops you into the limestone cliffs of Oliana, Spain, where Sharma is locked in on a cutting-edge first ascent attempt at the 5.15 grade. In this short excerpt from Big Up Productions’ Progression, you’ll see the quiet routines, the trial-and-error, and the razor-thin margin between “almost” and “done,” with Daila Ojeda and the scene around Oliana adding texture to the moment. What makes it worth your time is the raw look at progression when the climbing is at its absolute limit: microscopic holds, precise body positions, and the mental reset required after every slip. It’s not just a highlight reel—it’s a snapshot of elite sport climbing as a problem-solving process, where patience and belief matter as much as strength, and every move feels like a small wager against gravity.
