Chris Sharma on a climb in his native California

Chris Sharma stayed in his home for a few days and climbed with Tommy Caldwell in an old Dean Potter project. For both, it was the project. Another station led Chris to Pine Creek Canyon, where he made the second tour of Ethan Pringle's route.

For the celebration of the Dean Potter project, it was not enough during the stay of Chris. Chris had more success in the route Everything is Karate (8c + / 9a) in Pine Creek Canyon. The first ascent of this beautiful line was made by the American Ethan Pringle. Amazed and enthusiastic at the same time, Sharma comments on the line as follows: “It is one of the all time granite sport climbs for me. Kinda like the dream catcher of California. Crazy that I lived literally 10 minutes from here 14 years ago and had no idea something so perfect was right under our nose. "
