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.
