The metamorphosis of James Pearson / Power Ranger at Sunset Rocks, USA
The tongue-in-cheek video of British climber James Pearson and the transformation he underwent to make the first ascent of Power Ranger (5.14R / 8c) at Sunset Rocks, Chattanooga, USA.

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.'
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.
