Chris Sharma FA's Sleeping Lion at 9b+

Chris Sharma strikes again by doing the FA of Sleeping Lion 9b+ in Siurana, after projecting it for one and a half years years at age 41. The route is located on the expansive wall opposite of La Rambla and La Reina Mora. It's a solitary line with no other route within 20 meters of either side of it. Here is an Insta video that captures Sharma linking most of the route last October. (c) Rikki Giancola
