An Evening with Chris Sharma: Clif Bar Theater

Join Chris Sharma at the Clif Bar Headquarters theater on Friday, May 18th, for two special engagements. Chris will be presenting slides and footage from his climbing career, talking about what inspires one of the most gifted climbers of the last 20 years, answering audience questions, and just generally being himself. This is a special opportunity to join Chris in a small setting. All proceeds from the event will go towards the efforts to keep Castle Rock State Park Open.

In 1993, Chris went climbing outside for his first time at Castle Rock. Since then, he's established the hardest boulder problems in the park, helped to put the high-quality tafoni sandstone formations on the map with films like Rampage, and moved on to become a climbing superstar who some consider the best of all time. Chris' start at Castle is inspiration to many Bay Area climbers, and his long time affiliation with the park has had far reaching impact. Today, Castle Rock attracts an international climbing audience, largely because of Sharma's influence. So when he heard that Castle Rock may soon be closed to climbing and the general public, Chris immediately jumped at the opportunity to help with the access efforts--pledging to travel all the way from his current home in Spain to make a few special presentations for the cause. We hope to see you there. This will be an evening to remember!
