Yeah but Ho placed all of his own gear...because he's a mutant.

That's what I mean, Wes. My understanding was the FA was done with the gear already placed and HF did it "ground up", as in "Here's the rock, here's my gear on my harness/sling, whatever, here's my hand on the rock".

Ho didn't get the FA. Steve Petro got the FA with one piece placed. I have learned from listening to others that it's entirely ethical to do a hard trad line like that with a cople of pre-placed pieces and still claim the FA. Man there are tons of strange FA's out there. Apparently, one climber got the FA at a hard climb at the Mother Lode by clipping an eight foot sling attached to the anchors. Did he do the last few moves? Don't know.

You know what Rainman, I just re-read your post and realized that you never claimed that HF got the FA. My bad man. Just forget all of that blather. :wink:

I know a Black Dagger. It's a sweet overhanging crack with chimney moves at the base of Yosemite Falls.

Ok, so what the fuck? Is this just Ho bullshitting? If so, it doesn't translate. It's like "soap opera interuptus" or something.
