CHRIS SHARMA ON "EVERYTHING IS KARATE" 5.14 C/D

Chris Sharma and Tommy Caldwell drop into Yosemite’s big-wall arena to talk about the Leaning Tower project, then shift focus to a landmark testpiece: “Everything Is Karate” at 5.14c/d. In just eight minutes, this short film captures the mindset behind world-class climbing—where precision, patience, and raw commitment meet on steep stone—and follows Sharma as he locks in a second ascent of a route that’s become modern legend. What makes it worth watching is the blend of calm insight and high-stakes movement: you get the behind-the-scenes perspective of two iconic climbers, plus the visceral thrill of seeing cutting-edge difficulty unfold in real time. Add in sweeping aerial footage shot in Bishop, California by CASHUS PUHVEL—showing the scale, exposure, and beauty of the climbing environment—and you’ve got a compact hit of inspiration that feels bigger than its runtime.
