SALEWA ROCK AWARD 2011 NOMINATIONS
(in alphabetical order)
Period: From June 2010 to May 2011
Sasha DiGiulian (1992, USA)
With two 8c+ redpoints and one 8b+ on-sight the 19-year-old American Sasha DiGiulian has crowned a month which has few equals in the history of female sport climbing and which forebodes well for the future.
Gabriele Moroni (1987, Italy)
One of Italy's strongest with or without a rope, this year Moroni chose to repeat some European reference routes and also establish some of his own testpieces.
Enzo Oddo (1995, France)
After numerous 9a's and a nomination last year, Oddo made the leap to 9a+ and proved his desire to test himself at other vertical games across the globe. The results didn't take long coming for the 16-year-old Frenchman.
Adam Ondra (1993, Czech Republic)
Whenever he takes to the crags, the winner of two Salewa Rock Awards raises the bar. His same-day 9b first ascent and 8c+ on-sight will go down in history, and evidently the future of sport climbing still holds much more in store…
Chris Sharma (1981, USA)
After more than 50 attempts, May 2011 finally provided one of the hardest routes ever produced by Chris Sharma, winner of the Salewa Rock Award 2009. Determination and perseverance, combined with cutting-edge ability and a tireless desire to search and find new lines everywhere prove that "The King" still reigns.
