Sharma said that after climbing ''Jumbo Love'', he needed to change his approach.<ref name="interview2013"/>  His previous breakthroughs had been on routes established and bolted by other climbers who had given up on them,{{efn|''Necessary Evil'' {{climbing grade|5.14c}} was shown to him by its creator [[Boone Speed]] (who became a mentor to Sharma), ''Realization'' {{climbing grade|5.15a}} was created and developed by French climbers [[Jean-Christophe Lafaille]] and {{ill|Arnaud Petit|fr}}, while ''Jumbo Love'' {{climbing grade|5.15b}} was bolted by Randy Leavitt who invited Sharma to try it as a potential 5.15b/c.<ref name="interview2013"/><ref name=Jumbo>{{cite web | magazine=Climbing | url=https://www.climbing.com/news/sharma-working-clark-mountain-mega-proj/ | title=Sharma Working Clark Mountain Mega-Proj | date=9 October 2013 | first=Dougald | last=McDonald | accessdate=18 June 2022}}</ref>}} and now he needed to find his own limit saying: "I wanted to push myself to the next level. Where is that? I had to discover it. That was a big process in itself. So I bolted all these routes [in Spain]. And a lot of them ended up being that next level".<ref name="interview2013"/> The period saw Sharma bolt and free numerous new extreme {{climbing grade|9b}}-graded "King Lines", including ''{{ill|Golpe de Estado (climb)|lt=Golpe de Estado|fr|Golpe de Estado}}'' (2008), ''Neanderthal'' (2009), and ''First Round First Minute'' (2011), each a major project in itself and since regarded as important classics, with Sharma saying "That's the thing about being on the cutting edge. You have to invent it".<ref name="interview2013"/>

In 2011, Sharma invited the then 19-year-old climbing prodigy [[Adam Ondra]], to try an [[Oliana]] route he had bolted in 2009 called ''[[La Dura Dura]]'', which Sharma himself had given up on saying "I never saw myself being able to climb it.", and "I figured it would be for the next generation".<ref name="interview2013"/> For the next year, the two climbers worked the route in a collaborative process that saw Ondra make the first ascent in February 2013, and Sharma make the first repeat in March 2013.<ref name="interview2013"/> ''[[National Geographic]]'' called their collaboration a defining moment in the sport of rock climbing, when the title of "world's best climber" had begun to pass from one generation to the next.<ref name=NG>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/adam-ondra | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210723145125/https://www.nationalgeographic.com/adventure/article/adam-ondra | url-status=dead | archive-date=July 23, 2021 | date=13 November 2013 | accessdate=21 June 2022 | magazine=[[National Geographic]] | title=Adventurers of the Year: Climber Adam Ondra | first=Fitz | last=Cahall}}</ref>  Both Ondra and Sharma declared the collaboration to be a very positive experience with Sharma saying post his March ascent: "It was a healthy process for both of us, we fed off each other's motivation and through him, I think I became a better climber myself".<ref name="interview2013"/><ref name=PM>{{cite web| url= http://www.planetmountain.com/en/news/interviews/chris-sharma-the-la-dura-dura-interview.html |website=PlanetMountain.com |title=Chris Sharma, the La Dura Dura interview |date=26 March 2013 |accessdate=28 December 2021}}</ref> Their collaboration was documented in ''Reel Rock 7'' (2012), and ''La Dura Complete'' (2013).<ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.climbing.com/videos/la-dura-complete-the-full-story-of-the-hardest-rock-climb-in-the-world/ | title=La Dura Complete: The Full Story Of The Hardest Rock Climb In The World | date=26 March 2014 | magazine=[[Climbing (magazine)|Climbing]] |accessdate=29 December 2021}}</ref><ref name=OUT8>{{cite magazine | magazine=[[Outside (magazine)|Outside]] | url=https://www.outsideonline.com/culture/books-media/best-climbing-mountaineering-films-of-all-time/ | first=Andrew | last=Bisharat | date=6 September 2022 | accessdate=18 October 2022 | title=The 20 Best Climbing Films of All Time|quote=Number 6.
