Can you imagine how ridiculed boulderers/sport climbers would be if they formed the Sharma Nation.
Food for thought.

Just because it doesn't have a name doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I was in Hueco Tanks at the same time Sharma was about 5 years ago(and this was when he was just getting really famous). Everywhere he went we had an entourage following him around. Seemed like a really nice guy though.

I am proud to hold Citizenship in the CHONGO NATION!
Chongo taught me so much, I would never have been able to solo El Cap without all his help. Chongo was and is Dr. Pee'd On's Wall Doctor, and after my first solo, Chongo diagnosed my ailments afterwards in the parking lot, improving my efficiency I'm guess in the order of 25% or more!
It appears likely, however, that based on recent climbing experience, the patient has overtaken the doctor!
I have so much to write about Chongo - but no time just now. I was to appear as a witness at Chongo's trial in defense of my friend last August, but before I got on the stand, the charges were thrown out!
In the meantime, here is the BEST picture of Chongo I have ever seen.
Cheers,
Pete
