V for Vendetta 8c onsight by Chris Sharma (40)

Chris Sharma reports on Insta, with a video, that he has onsighted V for Vendetta 8c in Siurana. The last time the 40-year-old legend onsighted an 8c was in 2015 and in total he has onsighted more than a handful. At age 14 he won the US bouldering nationals and the year after he made the FA of an 8c+ in the US. Since then he has been on the cutting edge, first mainly on the comp scene winning a Lead WC in 1997 and later making the podium in another six WCs including four in Boudering. In any case, he is most famous for his FA proficiency, most notably in 2001, he made the FA of Realization 9a+ in Céüse. He has since gone on to make 16 FAs 9a+ and harder, in Spain, and essentially all his FAs are classics and well repeated five-star routes. When looking through the 8a database for the highest star rated and most popular high-end routes in the world, Sharma's FAs stand out in an amazing way! (c) Ricardo Giancola
