Everyone assumed the 1st route soloed would be Freerider and if it was going to be done it would be him. Wow, how do you top that ?

To paraphrase Supertopo's Freerider beta page:
Free Rider is currently the easiest and most popular way to say proudly "I have free soloed El Capitan"

Considering that he will be, in a way, the international face of climbing, I'm happy to hear that he isn't a dick.

Wow,
Wasn't there a tread where people were predicting who would do it and when
it would happen.
Tried searching for it but could not find it.
Edit: Thanks, Looks Easy From Here.

Amazing. I'm having trouble getting my head around this. Completely spectacular. Caldwell called it, "the moon landing of rock climbing." Gotta agree.
