Chris Sharma flashed the Men's Infinity Lane Saturday 27th, June, during the Petzl Roctrip in Millau (Aveyron - France).
This 100m route approaching the 8c has resist to the others competitors (Dani Andrada, Daniel Dulac, Tony Lamiche, Steve McClure, Sean McColl, Mickaël Fuselier...) but Chris spent all his energy in one attempt and flashed the route in a raw!
On the Women's Infinity Lane, Martina Cufar and Florence Pinet flashed the route as well. Chloé Minoret, Nina Caprez and Lynn Hill sent the route on 2nd or 3rd attempt.

Pierre Délas, who interviewed Chris Sharma for Kairn, has brought to my attention that Chris, in the interview, actually says that his ascent of Infinity lane, the "ultimate route", wasn't a flash at all.
The first part, around 8b, is also the first part of Les chemins de Katmandou, a three pitch 8c, which he climbed a few years ago with Laurent Triay.
Thanks Pierre!
