James Pearson making the first ascent of Power Ranger, Sunset Rocks, Chattanooga, USA. 'falling off the upper moves would send you exactly in the direction you don’t want to be! I never fell off the last few moves so I can’t say for sure. Perhaps it is safe, perhaps not… only time will tell.'
Pietro Porro
Towards the end of 2017 British climber James Pearson travelled to Chattanooga, USA and established a bold and difficult trad climb called Power Ranger (5.14R / 8c) at Sunset Rocks. This tongue-in-cheek short film documents the metamorphosis he underwent, which is all the more remarkable if you consider the fact that not long ago he transformed into a Frenchman to climb François Petit’s historic 1994 8c+ sports climb Le Bronx at Orgon.
