Climber Chris Sharma Scales Giant California Redwoods
Chris Sharma is considered one of the top free climbers on the planet. His exploits are known around the world, from the grant faces of Yosemite to the boulders of Venezuela. Sharma was among the top action/adventure sports athletes in the new Point Break, set to debut this December.
Recently Sharma spent some time near his birthplace in Northern California to climb giant Coast Redwoods with the help of UC Berkeley Tree Biologists and a few cans of Red Bull.
The footage is amazing and if the Red Bull doesn’t make you dizzy, the height of these trees surely will.
For good measure and PR impact Red Bull plans to donate $.10 per view of this video up to $10,000 to help continue Redwood tree research.
