I guess he is in his late forties, so that gives me anothe 10 years or so to train...

is it the tick marks all throughout the roof that makes you want to do that?

Yep, I want to make a statement by brushing them while soloing. Onsight and barefoot, of course.

that's pretty cool i guess, but you gotta wonder why he really ticked that thing so much? why didn't he just aid it? would've been the same thing pretty much.

Might not have been him ticking it? I guess it is a pretty popular route, so maybe it was just some gumby tard climber. But, I am psyched to see that tick marks aren't just for sport routes and boulder problems.

I got my ass handed to me on that route, I can't imagine soloing it.

Whatever, Kneebar. You'd just hold on like the beast you are!

wait? kneebar, you fell?!

and wes if you are going to solo it. don't tell us until after the fact. thank you. actually, just lie to me and tell me that you did it with a rope and gear. thank you.

Thank you. Yes. What she said.

I want details and an epic story like the one Manimal had at Seneca. Make it more interesting than, "Well, I fell about 100 feet and landed on my back. I grabbed my pack and walked out. I broke a few ribs and couldn't climb for a couple of months. heh heh."
