Chris Sharma Completes Massive Deep Water Solo Project

Earlier this year, Chris Sharma announced he was working on a new deep-water solo project, up a 100-foot tall arch in southern France. The 8b+/5.14a project Pont D’Arc is simply beautiful, stretching out over a river in the middle of the Ardeche Gorge. Sharma talks about his process and the headspace he needs to send these huge, committing climbs. In June, after four days of projecting the route and taking several huge falls, he finally sent it clean, and here's the video of the full ascent.
