The rampage continues.
Kevin Jorgeson writes: "After Gaia, I went and threw a rope down Meshuga for the second time. The friction was amazing, the wind was blowing hard, and I was all alone. So, I pulled the rope and sat at the base for a while, thinking about whether or not I wanted to go for it. Finally, I chalked up and started climbing, letting the moves force the commitment. It all felt solid and soon I was gleefully pulling the summit roofs with a big smile on my face. There were no crash pads at the base, and like Alex, I decided to eschew the rope as the top is quite easy. The whole experience was quite surreal, but rewarding. "

Meshuga is a yiddish word (actually there is usually an s on the end) and means "craziness".

This is insane.. I can't imagine what the belayer must have been thinking... judging from the pics, they were running downhill fast... and if they had run downhill too fast, then splat into the wall... and if they had not run downhill, then splat on the ground...
holy crap.
