Quotes from Chris Sharma

That's what's so amazing about climbing - it's not just a sport. It's a lifestyle, it's a way of being creative, of connecting with yourself and with nature.

I'm going to be climbing for my whole life.

As climbers, we need to learn to be good stewards of the land and take care of these places where we are spending so much time.

I think I'm a pretty creative person. I love building things. I love working on my house. Landscaping, stuff like that.

Climbing is a process - like yoga or running. We want to go to the spots where we're barely able to hold on. Those are the climbs that force us to become better athletes and grow as climbers.

One of the things that separates climbing from other sports is how independent and personal it is. With most sports, you either win or lose, but climbing is about your own personal experience.
