@HosteDenis. The overhanging route was originally bolted in 1989 by French climber Jean-Christophe Lafaille, who named it Biographie. In 1994 Arnaud Petit drilled a mid-way bolt anchor and climbed the lower half of the route, leaving the name Biographie. Chris Sharma, after making the first complete ascent of the entire bolt line in 2001, named the entire route Realization. Petit's anchor has since been removed.
This is the same route that Sharma calls Realization (9a+). Basically the French call it Biographie (named by the person who bolted the route) and the Americans call it Realization (named by first ascentionist Chris Sharma).
Thanks for the post, but as there are 'very very' few people in this world who can climb a 9a+ sport route, I would have wished for them to have recorded this with a slighly better camera. It's hard to appreciate the precision it takes to climb this hard on a low quality vid, but I did still enjoy it.
@AmazedAtheist I also admire his spirit and strength of his mind. Real good climbing is a lot about psychological strenght. I always regognize that in a new way.
@rocjocker But his "smoothness" come from crazy training, not by talent...I think that's the point he wants to make. Compared to to the "normal" people it's sure he is talented, but compared with other "top climbers" i think he needs more training that them..Not a bad thing, in fact i admire more the training than the talent.
Lance Sitton JC Lafaille, the builder call it Biographie ! It is the builder who name the route, not the first ascenter ... that is the same for all the routes and biographie is a better name than realization ;)
+Benjamin THOMAS the standard has long been that, in climbing, the FFAist can rename. Astroman isn't the East Face of Washington Column. Stand down sir we let JB name our open projects ;D
@AmazedAtheist Idk dude... he trained 8 hours a day 7 days a week with no rest days all for a couple fucking gym climbing comps a year to prove he's "the best".. which is an unbelievably narrow view of climbing cause its not even real rock... climbings an individual sport not competetive...

Patxi is the best!!!
Listening the music is way more difficult than climbing the route.

Patxi has retired from competitive climbing. But Im sure he is still climbing as a lifestyle. A Murete!

It depends on the country, in spain the person who bolts the route names it.
