His Story: I grew up in Santa Cruz CA until I began traveling the world seeking out the most difficult and amazing climbs. I’m now based near Barcelona, where I work to master the art of balancing raising two kids and growing Sharma Climbing while continuing to explore my own limits and vision on the rock.
Surprising Fact: Somehow I’m simultaneously raising a family, building a climbing gym chain, and still finding the time to climb at a world class level (Huge props to my wife Jimena , who is actually the one who makes it all possible).
Why He Loves What He Does: After nearly 30 years climbing, I’m more motivated than ever. I think climbing is very similar to a yoga or martial arts practice, in that you have to train and discipline your body and mind on an almost daily basis in an effort to perfect your craft. But it’s a never ending process. And climbing is just the coolest, most amazing activity I’ve ever experienced.
Advice for Newbies: I recommend for anyone starting out that a climbing gym is the best way to start as well as get to know other climbers. It’s important to push your limits but also enjoy the process. I’d also encourage others to go experience climbing in different places outdoors. Climbing is an amazing way to travel and see the world, and as climbers we get to see some of the most amazing spots on the planet!
