man, i solo every fall. and i don't solo easy crap that other people do all the time. nope, i push it hard.. and i fall a lot, too. these things are probably like 5.13+ in the red, easy. granted, they're usually not more than fifteen feet tall and have a walk-off on the backside.. but hell, it's still route soloing. rocktown is where it's at..

Paul, your just sick man...SICK.
I have heard that you can get really hurt doing that crap. A bud of mine's friend out-west, his first cousin by marriage on his fathers side had a son out of wedlock that did that soloing stuff and got a really badly sprained ankle...
he couldnt walk for like two days.
Thats just not safe. You should really take care of yourself and climb on our bolts in the Red.

Hey ascentionist, get on Nevermore with gear and a rope; and you'll be soloing the last pitch even if you're placing gear. A real attention getting pitch.

Not because of the gear. Thats how every long route feels.
Its attention getting because its filthy and not worth the hike.

Hell, that describes lots and lots of trad routes. Every now and then you find a dirty gem.
