- Check out the full story on Sharma in The Red Bulletin: win.gs/ChrisSharma
In a quest to return to his climbing roots and to advance the understanding of California’s giant Coast Redwoods, Chris Sharma recently embarked on an unprecedented free climb in a Northern California forest glade. Using only his hands and feet and protected from falls by a rope and harness, Sharma collected valuable data from a soaring Redwood, located in a city park in Eureka, to measure tree water status as an indicator of how it has been affected by the current severe drought. Red Bull worked closely with two UC Berkeley Tree Biologists in preparing for and executing this project.
The UC Berkeley tree biologists are currently developing funding to evaluate the impact of the current historic drought on redwood trees and forests in the Santa Cruz Mountains near the southern edge of the redwood range; a link to their fundraising site can be found here: win.gs/rgad

next, cactus climbing in Arizona.
Arts Roy Friend of mine did the famous climbing in Arizona you speak of.
She said its not very good.
+6Bene i'll send prayers
Arts Roy
hahaha I live in az
actually fell on a cactus today
+Rt Harmon
Did you survived?
Bene barely
I always slam a few redbull's before climbing... nothing like a jittery sugar and caffeine buzz to get me in touch with the old growth red wood forest.
Landoni25 that's why Red Bull will never sponsor Alex Honnold.
Red Bull doesn’t give you wings when you fall
REAL SARCASM HERE!! and then post on ur glten free copper free electronicooo phone with fiber woods moistend as the mosfets and ICS on the Printed circuit board made of wheat bread, IM upvoting You
I bet it gives great typewriter leg though.
there are people who live in redwood tree houses for decades to fight clear cutting old growth redwoods. I love my Humboldt hippies!!!!
that be me north coast earth first my name is SKY 14 years and a vetran tree sitter,but this hear is a small redwood :)
For those of you who have never seen these MAGNIFICENT ethereal trees ......DO IT!!!!
It is a humbling experience to be in their midst it literally took my breath away the first time I laid eyes on them.
I can't imagine how it felt to climb one.
Not often you see someone as legendary as Chris Sharma top-roping... lol
Of course it's free climbing, how could they charge you to climb a tree?
BariumCobaltNitrog3n lol
Anything is possible under capitalism
Dad, you're here!
😂
I can't tell if you are joking or not lol
Drinking that pink industrial chemical delight, right after studying the cute little freshly picked up pine buds... How cute, how inspiring, gives me wings.
Ian Fellbom RedBull isn't pink...
Ian Fellbom Just leave it to natural selection to get rid of the ones dumb enough to believe this drink compatible with a healthy life. Otherwise, it's still nice to have all these events sponsored by redbull, mountain dew, etc.. You can watch and just ignore the advertising for the most part. The people dumb enough to fall for the marketing are probably already drinking that trash anyways.
I came here to make this exact comment.
Lol
Dude looked pretty reluctant taking that single sip out the red bull can
I mean it's practically poison, but hey, sponsorship.
Dojangles agree
Dojangles the look on his face looks like he tasted it for the first time
Wish there was more childlike joy in this but i like the big achievement can suck it I’m just gonna have a fun day but then yeah the redbull angle on this one wtf
Garbage chemical water
Not good for athletes
I sure don’t drink it
Ten bucks that can has got water in it
Chris L I reckon it is Red Bullshit in the can because he was struggling to look as though he was enjoying it.
Lol. He didn't even actually swallow, so there was probably nothing in it.
redbull & chalk don't fit in this environment
Maybe some bark grinded down into powder form to replace chalk
What we learned today: don't free-climb tree trunks even if u think you're a beast
Wow I'm from Europe and I didn't imagine such big trees exist in real life ! I'm impressed really impressed !
If you ever get the chance, visit the Sequoia and Redwood National Forests. It changed my life
haha 😂 you haven't senn the trees of the amazon jungle!
That's bigfoots home lol
3:36 such hesitation to drink that Red Bull. He knows it’s poison, but he needs the sponsorship.
And the wings.
Disappointed. But I can't judge. He still rocks...and trees.
@Moonlight does basically anything you might wanna re-read what they said lmao
Beautiful combination of sport and education, thanks RedBull
watched this as ismoked a bowl.... dope experience
Just now seeing spectacular, wonderful climb! Stunningly beautiful! Thankyou!
All pinches and sidepulls. Looks heinous
Looks like Chris has reached another level in his own personal journey! Inpsiring
Hey bro those trees have been around on their own for a long time... they will be fine.
lol, cause the scientist dedicated to studying them is unaware of their age...
-West
I love how you guys cut to him drinking a Red Bull while they’re talking about something unrelated. It’s subtle but great marketing at the same time lol
safe to say chris sharma is a top rope tough guy!
Sharma should compete on American ninja warrior. A pro climber like him would definitely be able to go all the way.
That's his warmup every morning
Correct, the first two victors of the show Geoff Britten and Isaac Caldiero were rock climbers. But they did also specifically train for ninja warrior for a few years because there are unique elements about it that aren’t in rock climbing
Ich seh mir das Viedeo jetzt solange an bis ich den Regenwald gerettet habe!
Redbull and self reflection, meditation. A match made in heaven
@tripmind I love climbing trees, and when I saw the link to this I immediately felt inspired to go and attempt to 'free climb' a redwood - you are correct about that.
However, seeing Chris Sharma take numerous falls and describe it as 'super hard climbing' tells me my climbing level is nowhere near good enough for this.
I won't be attempting this, even though I want to.
I'm a tree climber. But I use hooks. This is insanely difficult. Not to mention redwoods are insanely big. Highest I've ever had to climb is 120
I only spike up if I'm felling the tree. Ok maybe I'll spike up a difficult tree if it's thick bark and really healthy... but, not If it's in a highly visible area.
@@jonathanryals9934 agreed, i learned to do removals without spikes first. Lots of pruning/ball moss removal over here
glucose-fructose-caffeine soda polishing their image
Michel Folco sucrose* fructose is naturally occurring in fruits and other whole foods
@@lukeRstrickland So are snake Venom, arsenic and asbestos.
Corrected Title: "Chris Sharma Top Ropes a Giant Red Wood Tree."
SkullLikeASecret You can free climb and still use the tope rope method for protection. This is not free soloing!
Kearress True, true. I was being sarcastic.
Very good !
What is the name of this route?
oh what these biologist could learn from me would increase their knowledge 2 folds. Tinman Bigfoot Tracker channel Canada.
How did they get the rope up there? What type of anchor?
My question as well.
Good thing they have those hats on
SICK!! props to Chris Sharma for taking climbing back to the roots!
Never thought I'd see the day when ecophysiolgoy featured on a redbull channel! All I want to know is was that water potential from the lower or upper branches?
wow congrats go on and dont forget to safe your life. god bless
Galileo brought me here !
✌
Haha me too :D
Galileo is bullshit
+MrSetup das interessiert mich 0
Read Wild Trees. They've been doing this for a while now! Cool stuff.
How'd he get inside black ops 3???
Haha
Red Bull is piss
are there such things as ethical sponsors? if so i wish sports people would only accept them and refuse to sell out to unethical ones. im sure it start to happen in the near future.
+horizon I was just thinking the same......hopefully people will stop advertising these kind of products
+horizon Barcelona used to be sponsored by UNICEF, pretty ethical right? Now theyre sponsored by Quatar Airlines haha
wtf are you talking about red bull sponsored the fucking thing and its the only mention of it during the entire thing except for a tiny beany logo. Not to mention they underlined how careful they were being, and they provided links to contribute about Redwood research. but please continue being a moron and doing things not worth sponsoring
Sure, there are such things as ethical sponsors. However, when you're an athlete, you want to make a lot of money. You would not turn down Red Bull if they called you up with a couple hundred thousand a year or more.
Lol uhhh that doesn't mean Red Bull is ethical. Horizon isn't talking about this particular video, they're saying that it's unfortunate that all these cool events and athletes are sponsored by a company that sells garbage, unhealthy products.
This video is so good and natural, but I hate the Red Bull Marketing behind the scenes
Chris is one of my personal heroes.
I would use spurs ,Then just maybe a chainsaw also..I love planet earth. God made it for us to live.
Now here's the big question. How did they get the rope up there in the first place?
"without permission" kiss my ass. beautiful trees though
It's very important that not many people climb the same trees, or it could be very harmful to them and the ecosystem that lives in them.
serious strength
He should climb some baobabs. They are fantastic for climbing.
4:50 Chris: "what a tree-t," pun intended??
red bull just killed this video
Camera man climbing w him underrated
Santa Cruz!
i would love to do that.
I don't understand why they say that climbing the trees will hurt them?
awesome video.
"Chris Sharma climbs El Bon Redwood the worlds first 5.15d"
great video...thank you
So did one of them have to climb the tree to set the top rope in the first place?
That’s pretty amazing how he can grip that tree
Opens with a KFC commercial lmao
love trees more than humans
Cool, but am I blind or there is actually no free climbing here?
Jacox free climbing just means he didnt use any aid to climb. He still used rope for protection but only used his hands and feet to make the ascent. Free soloing would be climbing with out the use of aid or protection.
Jacox free climbing is different than free solo climbing
skibbyskib13 Thanks man, I got that all mixed up ;)
Jacox probably they mean Tree climbing...
+Vivai Berti lol.
You've created more awareness for trees! I appreciate it :)
How did they put the rope up in the first place?
+Giancarlo Zucca On shorter trees, you throw the rope up with a thin, slick line and a small weight. Then, you use the small line to pull up your climbing rope. On taller trees, people use a bow and arrow with a line or fishing line attached, or a slingshot shooting a fishing weight attached to fishing line. Either way, once you have the throw line up, you pull up the climbing rope.
Zolen Boogaerts really..?
Giancarlo Zucca It's called throwing, you use these things called arms. You actually are as dumb as you look.
Kevin Malia, you can throw a rope 75 meters up? That's almost 250 ft. Either you are joking or have no concept of height or human capability.
Climbing spurs
I can understand why redwood is such a desirable tree I mean the qualities of the wood and the oils in the wood can really stop it from rotting in some very moist environments but when I heard that they cut down so many redwoods back in the day that they even used these trees to frame houses wood that never saw a drop of water it just seemed like such a waste!
What were they supposed to use? That was the wood that was available. That was for house built up until 1955 or so when there were so many trees. It wasn't until Michael Milton and other wall street vulture capitalist used a leverage but out to steal ownership of one of the biggest companies in terms of available board feet of lumber permitted. From 1982 or 1983 The wall street capitalist pre sold an outrageous amount of debarked logs absolutely massive, for rich folk in Japan and other markets. The Japanese sunk unbelievable numbers of logs in the Tokyo harber to let them take on a hardwood like density so they could slice thin veneer of old growth Redwood and laminate them to ply wood so rich people could have a redwood office or a redwood exterior. More old growth trees were cut down in the early 1980's till the mid 1990's than had been cutdown in the 130 or so years prior to the illegal leverage buy out. The wall street vulture capitalist Milton or Milken got busted and was forced to make amends regarding the liquidated pension for the loggers and mill rights and Clinton made him hand over the head waters track and the community turned it into a day hiking area no charge no paperwork just a beautiful hike and a river that the steel head use to lay there eggs. In the end it wasn't the home builders in the 1900's to 1950's framing with old growth redwood that wrecked the environment and ruined the logging industry. It was rich 1% er white collar criminals and elites from Japan and parts of Europe that combined devastated the logging industry which had no choice but to replant with Douglass Fir because DF produces the most board feet of quality lumber in the shortest period of time of any tree on earth. From sprout to harvest in 40 to 60 years. Still not the same as a 1500 year old moster of a redwood tree that towers close to 300 feet or higher back in the day. Like always the people blamed are the working class home builders of the past who built modest but quality homes for the average family and the architects that had built the victorian redwood mansions 50 or 60 years earlier. None of that was the culprit when it came to destroying the ecosystem and forcing the loggers and mills to shut down and find other jobs. The actual culprits were from wallstreet and illegally did leverage buyouts using junk bonds not worth a crap to pillage the forest in less than 10 years all by rich people and for rich people. They are the ones that ruin everything and never get held responsible. Americans worship the elite and subconsciously blame the poor and the working class for the horrendous actions of the chronically rich. Until the people of America place the blame on the ones that bought the country and stripped it of its treasure. as long as the middle and upper middle class blame the poor and working class for all the crimes against the long term well being of the land and the people, the rich will always be able to waltz through life holding all of the wealth while bearing none of the blame. The wealthy have just about won but there is still time to put the blame where it belongs not to have any real effect on the wealthy but at least to rake over the narrative and blame the culprits and not the working class and poor.
Wouldn't he pull the bark off? How can you do this dang
"What a TREEt".............. i see what you did there Chris Sharma
I can feel the splinters
Michael Mcgovern redwood bark is corky and up to two feet thick. Not gonna get any splinters from a live tree
+Geoff Melle yea but still little shreds of bark come off and go into ur skin
its also decently soft/malleable compared to many other tree barks, a thin piece would bend long before it entered your skin.
+Esbjorn Klein (Björn) alright I get it you guys are smart I'm stupid you can stop
i live near the redwoods
those are massive
Aren't those trees supersoft? I don't live in an area where you can find them but I did touch one once. I wonder if it can offer enough resistance, because the wood is like cloth (or fabric, idk)
on the outside of the bark yes but the inside is so dense and strong that some of the redwoods that have been through massive fires still have fresh and alive still standing wood on the inside of what looks like a burnt tree on the outside but it is only the bark burnt
But what would he rate that climb?!
Beautiful forest and trees🌳...!!!
There are a bunch of redwoods where I work. Half are just brown and dying.
nice job !
Next, cactus climbing in Arizona
Why did donations end July 31st, why this date?
Tough climb! ..great vid
Just curious, do these guys ever do a single days work?
If you work hard enough and get really good at something you love, you'd actually get to have fun while working.
If you enjoy what you do you'll never work a day in your life
@@whitchellegera291 buuuuulllllshiiitttt
@@longebane look at them. Do you not realize that that's their work?
Long Dao why is it bullshit?
If he drinks red bull then he should be able to fly around the tress.
no splinters?
harrylatka1 I'm guessing he probably has really callused hands from climbing for so long so they probably don't affect him as much.
+harrylatka1 Redwood bark doesn't really splinter. When its ripped off, it has the consistency of shredded beef jerky.
I live in Arcata CA and I love having the redwoods in my backyard!
I love this. Long live the Redwoods
Life is climbing. I need more videos of climbing. I climb and it's the best thing of the world
and drinking red bull wtf
Thanks for representing my hometown Red Bull! I love that forest just as much!
dude, how did they set up the anchor up there? hahaha (ideas)
A little gun that shoots a weighted string.
I think every human could this far in the past when big trees like this were everywhere
I bet being in those forest is humbling. People look so small there. I just bought a couple giant sequoia trees, that I am making videos, of unboxing, planting, and growing. I sure hope the do ok here. Love the video!
+Issac Newton I've been to Sequoia and it's amazing.
^
Just a normal day for red bull 😂
correct me if im wrong here but isnt free climbing when you do it without a safety line....
No that is free-solo climbing.
"Free climbing means not using any aids to help you ascend, like spurs, or ice picks. Free soloing is climbing without a rope."
Beautifull prescious trees...RED BULL IS BAD FOR YOUR HEALTH...DEHYDRATING, BAD FOR CLIMBING...TERRIBLE FOR RECOVERY!
But why?
splinters?
the bark is softer than a lot of other tree barks, it would bend most likely before you ever got a splinter
All those climbing these ancient trees are contributing to their demise. One or two scientists help us to understand what is taking place up there in the canopy. However - do you remember a teacher pointing out to you as a young student - if one person picks a flower, ok, but if everybody picks a flower, they will all be gone! And your teacher was right. If you truly revere these trees, admire them with your mind, and let them be here for your great, great grandchildren!
"I'm so connected to the forest and the nature." Meanwhile sipping artificially made chemical Red Bull
"It would be amazing if he can climb this"
I could probably climb that when I was 10...
no you couldn't.
***** To be fair, he is a sloth so maybe he actually could.
Stefan Wieler FINALLY someone who understands... It might take some time, but I'll get the job done.
Sloth in Suit lol at first i thought you were being legit but then saw Stefan's comment and was like ooooh
How about we just leave the trees alone and work on us? Lets test how stress people are and go to wokr healing that.
Galileo bigpicture :-)
Where the fuck is RedBull getting all of this money from? I don't know anyone that's had a RedBull in the last 24 months. Is it a front for some sort of sex slavery community?
