I walk up to the route and think sport route.. I lower the route and climb the route and still think Sport route. I make it a sport route. Its only later that someone claims to have done it on gear.

Cant something be an instant classic?

Whats so great about "The Great Wall" in Muir? did i miss the rest of it? I will say the Sanctuary is impressive.
