255 feet of relentless climbing in one single pitch, that's what Sharma took as his goal. Randy Leavitt, who discovered Clark Mountain limestone and developed many of the routes, meant it to be a 3 pitch route, but Sharma decided otherwise.As he regarded Es Pontas in Mallorca as the hardest he had ever done so far, now the Clark Mountain route with not so much as a single hand-shake-rest is his newest and hardest feat he says. This mega long single pitch routes are going to be the next level of hard lines, Sharma thinks.
Noteworthy, the attempt(s) were filmed by the BigUpProdutions team and are probably part of the Real Rock Filmtour, which is also coming to the Netherlands !! (see previous post). While typing this post I get sweaty hands of the upcoming footage alone... harw !
