In March 2023, climbing legend Chris Sharma was able to climb his hardest route to date for the first time in Siurana: Sleeping Lion. The Reel Rock episode of the same name provides exciting and personal insights into the 41-year-old's mega project - from planning to implementation.
With the first ascent of sleeping lion effect Chris Sharma added another highlight to his glorious climbing career last year.
