There seems to be no stopping Chris Sharma. The now legendary athlete has added an impressive string of onsights to his resume after a short visit to Utah’s Maple Canyon.

Chris, who climbed in Maple as a teenager, wasted little time getting down to business. On his first day, Chris onsighted T-Rex , a 14b in the Pipe Dream Cave, which features over 70 feet of horizontal climbing on slick cobbles.
Chris continued his onsighting spree on day two by onsighting Hole Shot (13c), Toxic Turkey (13d), and a handful of other 13’s before trying Divine Fury (14b). Chris showed the incredible stamina he earned while projecting his new opus, Big Love (15b), at Mount Clark. He hung onto Divine Fury for nearly 30 minutes, neglecting the kneebar rest, and stunned the local climbers with an impressive onsight. It must be the shoes.
