==History==
[[File:Ceuse001.jpg|thumb|left|Long south-facing cliffs of Céüse, known as the Corniche de Céûse]]

In 1989, French climber [[Jean-Christophe Lafaille]] bolted the entire circa 35 metre [[Pitch (climbing)|pitch]], and named it ''Biographie'' (he was not able to climb it).<ref name=UP>{{cite web | url=https://www.up-climbing.com/en/falesia/news/24847 | title=Biographie and the importance of the names | date=18 August 2010 | accessdate=22 December 2021 | website=UP-climbing.com}}</ref>  ''Biographie'' remained a long-standing [[open project]], and in 1996, French climber {{ill|Arnaud Petit|fr}} freed the lower half of the route, added an anchor at his high-point and graded it at {{Climbing grade|8c+}}.<ref name=UP/>  Petit estimated that the remaining unclimbed section was about {{Climbing grade|8b+}} but had a very difficult {{boulder grade|7C}} boulder problem that he could not overcome.<ref name=UP/>  American climber [[Chris Sharma]] made over 30 attempts from 1996 to 2000 but could also not overcome the boulder move.<ref name=UP/>  In 2001, Sharma skipped the Bouldering World Cup in [[Gap, Hautes-Alpes|Gap]], and after three days working on the route, on 18 July 2001,<ref name=MH/> successfully [[Redpoint (climbing)|free climbed]] the route, linking up Petit's first section to Lafaille's final bolt.<ref name=UP/><ref name=PM/>

Sharma's first ascent was captured in [[Big UP Productions|Josh Lowell]]'s 2002 climbing film, ''Dosage Volume 1''.<ref name=OUT4/>  Witnessing his ascent was a 10-year old {{ill|Charlotte Durif|fr}}, who was out hiking with her father.<ref>{{cite web | website=Petzl | url=https://www.petzl.com/INT/en/Sport/News/2023-5-20/700-and-Counting-%E2%80%94-From-Hard-Routes-to-Bolting-New-Lines-with-Charlotte-Durif | title=Interview with Charlotte Durif | date=20 May 2023 | accessdate=3 January 2024}}</ref>

I guess the whole thing was a bit confusing due to the middle anchor and not wanting to discredit the first pitch or have the name be exactly the same as the first part.  For me personally, people can call it whatever they want. Naming things is just for fun. ... That piece of rock was there long, long, before us, so to get worked up about naming it is kinda ridiculous.}}

Though only aged 20, Sharma considered retiring after completing the ascent, but found new inspiration in extreme [[deep-water soloing]] routes in [[Mallorca]].<ref name=O1/>  It took almost three years until the second ascent was made by French climber, Sylvain Millet, who also refused to grade it given his lack of experience of other equivalent reference climbs, however, he noted that the failure of other strong climbers to repeat the route (e.g. [[Patxi Usobiaga]], and [[Dave Graham (climber)| Dave Graham]]), implied that 9a+ was the likely grade.<ref name=OUT6>{{cite magazine | magazine=[[Outside (magazine)|Outside]] | url=https://www.climbing.com/news/millet-wont-grade-irealizationi/ | title=Millet Won't Grade Realization | date=8 June 2004 | first=Dougal | last=McDonald | accessdate=26 December 2021}}</ref>

On 24 September 2017, American climber [[Margo Hayes]] became the [[first female free ascent|first female climber]] to climb the route.<ref name=MH1>{{cite magazine | magazine=[[Rock & Ice]] | url=https://www.rockandice.com/climbing-news/margo-hayes-sends-biographierealization-5-15a/ | first=Hayden | last=Carpenter | date=25 September 2017 | accessdate=26 December 2021 | title=Margo Hayes Sends Biographie/Realization (5.15a)}}</ref><ref name=MH2>{{cite magazine | magazine=[[Outside (magazine) | Outside]] | url=https://www.climbing.com/news/hayes-climbs-realization-515/ | first=Matt | last=Samet | date=26 September 2017 | accessdate=26 December 2021 | title=Margo Hayes Redpoints Realization (5.15a)}}</ref>  On 5 August 2020, German climber [[Alexander Megos]] created ''[[Bibliographie (climb)|Bibliographie]]'', a {{climbing grade|9b+}} route, a few metres to the right of ''Realization/Biographie''.<ref>{{cite web | website=Gripped Magazine |url=https://gripped.com/news/breaking-news-sean-bailey-sends-bibliographie-5-15c/ | title=Breaking News: Sean Bailey Sends Bibliographie 5.15c | date=30 September 2021 | accessdate=4 February 2023}}</ref>

==Route==
The route starts with an immediate hard "four-move boulder problem", which partially broke in 2010, potentially rendering the lower section even more difficult (it has been compared to the notable bouldering problem, ''Necessarily Evil''). Sustained 5.13 climbing after the initial bouldering problem leads to the main rest, a large right-facing flake. After this pause, a series of "super-resistant two and three-finger pocket moves", with cross-throughs, [[Glossary of climbing terms#undercling|underclings]], and high-steps lead to Arnaud Petit's old anchor (now since removed),<ref name=OUT4/> which is almost halfway.<ref name=PM/> 

To the anchor, the route is considered {{climbing grade|5.14c}}, although some have suggested an upgrade to {{climbing grade|5.15a}} due to the initial bottom boulder breaking. There is a small rest at the old anchor, then sustained resistance climbing leads to a slightly better rest just below the finishing [[crux (climbing)|crux]]. This final crux is 12 moves, described as "a bunch of foot movement, and some very fickle pockets and [[Glossary of climbing terms#crimp|crimps]]". Its difficulty is amplified by the amount of hard climbing undertaken to reach it.  Above this crux is a small rest, and 5.11 climbing for 50 feet leads to the final anchor at around the circa 35-meter mark".<ref name=OUT4/>

==Legacy==

''Realization'' was the first route to carry a consensus {{Climbing grade|9a+}} grade, and ''[[Climbing (magazine)|Climbing]]'' called it a "technical revolution" in rock climbing.<ref name=O1>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.climbing.com/people/interview-the-future-of-sharma/ | title=Interview: The Future of Sharma | date=27 September 2016 | first=Chris | last=Noble | accessdate=22 December 2021 | magazine=[[Outside (magazine) | Outside]]}}</ref> The quality and sustained difficulty of ''Realization'' means it is still considered an important rite-of-passage for the world's best rock climbers, whose repeat ascents of the "legendary" route, are covered by the climbing media.<ref name=O2/><ref>{{cite magazine | url=https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/climbing/fifteen-year-old-repeats-realization/ | title=Fifteen-Year-Old Repeats Realization | date=16 August 2010 | accessdate=22 December 2021 | magazine=[[Outside (magazine) | Outside]] }}</ref><ref name=PM3/> ''[[Outside (magazine) | Outside]]'' magazine called it "the benchmark for the grade",<ref name=OUT4/> and it has become one of the most attempted and repeated routes at the grade at {{Climbing grade|9a+}}.<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.mountainproject.com/route/106334536/biographie-realization | title=Biographie / Realization | website=MountainProject.com | accessdate=22 December 2021 | quote=One of the most repeated 9a+'s in the world but also one of the oldest.}}</ref> In 2014, ''[[National Geographic]]'' called it, "one of the most famous sport-climbing routes in the world".<ref name=NG1/>  ''PlanetMountain'' included ''Realization'' on its list of important climbs in the evolution of free climbing (1918–2013).<ref>{{cite web | website=PlanetMountain.com | url=https://www.planetmountain.com/en/news/climbing/the-evolution-of-free-climbing.html | title=The evolution of free climbing | date=23 December 2012 | first=Maurizio | last=Oviglia | accessdate=4 January 2022}}</ref>

In 2012, when [[Adam Ondra]] attempted to [[flash (climbing)|flash]] the route (i.e. complete on the first attempt) he said: "It had always been my long-term crazy dream to flash this route".<ref name=O2/> In 2014, when American climber [[Jonathan Siegrist]] made the eighth ascent of the route and told ''Outside'' magazine: "I can remember the first time that I saw the route — it is truly magnificent.

===Subsequent first 9a+ contendors===

Many years after the ascent of ''Realization'', other earlier sport climbs have been revisited as potential first-ever 9a+ routes:

* In 2008, [[Adam Ondra]] completed the second ascent of [[Alexander Huber]]'s 1996 route ''{{ill|Open Air (climb)|lt=Open Air|de|Open Air (Kletterroute)}}'' at Austria's [[Schleierfall]], and felt it was {{climbing grade|9a+}}; Huber freed it in 1996 and graded it as {{climbing grade|9a}}, but Ondra felt that ''Open Air'' was harder than "benchmark" climbs such as ''Weiss Rose'', ''[[Action Directe (climb)|Action Directe]]'', and even ''[[La Rambla (climb)|La Rambla]]'', which are {{climbing grade|9a}} or {{climbing grade |9a+}}.<ref name="GR7">{{cite web | url=https://gripped.com/news/chris-sharma-turns-40-today-happy-birthday/ | date=23 April 2021 | accessdate=22 December 2021 | title=Chris Sharma Turns 40 Today, Happy Birthday! | website=Gripped.com}}</ref><ref name="CM">{{cite magazine | url=https://www.climbing.com/news/groundbreaking-515-gets-second-ascent/ | title=Groundbreaking 5.15 Gets Second Ascent | first=Dougald | last=McDonald | date=15 June 2012 | accessdate=22 December 2021 | magazine=[[Outside (magazine) | Outside]]}}</ref> Climbing author Andrew Bisharat noted in a 2016 essay on regrading, that "The other interesting point about Open Air that’s worth mentioning is that the route reportedly contains some rather flaky holds that have broken off over the years.
