 Chris Sharma Interview by Playboy Italy
Video by Playboy Italy - Barbara Pedrotti of Playboy in Italy interviews Chris Sharma. When asked what he would have done with life if he wasn't a professional climber, he replies, "I don't know, it's hard to say. Maybe something artistic. For me, climbing is a really creative sport. It's also a really creative process. You use your imagination to... imagine the way up. You're working with the rock... One reason it always attracted me."  Mike McClure Climbs Honeycomb (V10)

Video by prAna - I started climbing when I was eight years old on the legendary French cliffs in Verdon, Buoux. At the age of 15, I had sent my first 5.14a (Putain Putain) and had become a climbing Junior World Champion. I decided to take a break from climbing so I could devote myself completely to the pole vault as it was something that I was really excited about. I vaulted for 3 years and became champion of France only to realize that climbing was my means of expression and a lifestyle that suits me. I cannot live without climbing.  Living the Dream
Video by Renan Ozturk - My quintessential day here in Boulder Colorado. For most of the last 6 years I've been a traveling vagabond following my passion for rock climbing. This existence involved sleeping outside in wild places, hitching rides, having very little belongings, a drained bank account and some gourmet dumpster diving for food. I climbed every day and lived my dream. These days I'm a domesticated man. Each day I find time to escape to the nearby rock spires and bag a summit. Making this creative short I realized that I still live my dream everyday!  Dave Macleod dominates Beartrap Prow
