Unless it's something cutting edge insane hard that a bunch of people throughout history have tried and couldn't do it really doesn't matter who bags the FA. You might get a blowjob from the local crag whore and some high fives at Miguel's but that's about it. Climbing magazine doesn't come beating your door down. Especially when Beth Rodden is out at Lumpy doing Anaconda, french dude is onsighting 5.14b, and Sharma is doing Witness the Fitness (which he claims is the hardest thing he has ever done....scary).

I can consede to this with some FAs, but not with Blake. The guy could care less about getting "respect" for doing a route. Don't get me wrong, he wants to send the route, but only for himself.
He is definitely not one of those people who are just dying to tell you what they sent in hopes that you will hold them in a higher regard.

soooo, Blake doesn't care if someone else sends first, and it is all of us making the big fuss?
if so, then hats off to Blake.

Just to Clarify.....
It is not a Closed Project; It is my project;

Kinda looks that way to me.
Hats off indeed.
