Is this the right place for a discussion of what "free" means? By some definitions, only the West Face and East Buttress have been done free so far. That is, on sight, no rehearsal or falls or rests or preparation.

Then there's the Houlding route Passage to Freedom, which he called 13d, with one move of aid. Don't think that one has been repeated?

of the three el cap routes i have done free, i would rank as this from easist to hardest
freerider
golden gate
el nino
although, freerider isn't really a MAJOR free climb on el cap since there's no 13 on it, unless, of course, you do it in a day(which i haven't)
el nino isn't really a free route cause there's a 30' rapell on it,still, i imagine el nino is harder than el corazon since the first ascensionist(alex) rated el nino harder

You'd think Tommy would go bang out triple direct to add another route to the list and massage the sponsors. I guess he's done every inch of it free while freeing other routes but nobody's ever climbed it free.
