I've seen a photo of T.Skinner in the last issue of climbing free climbing on Leaning tower. Any body has informations on the free variation of Wet Denim...

I haven't seen it, but he's been working on it for a couple of years now. If he had sent it, I'd bet that it would have made news by now. There's nothing on Climbings website about it.

All of the pitches on WDD were freed last year. The blurb in that issue of Climbing mentions it.
FYI, All pitches were led free; Jim Hewitt has freed all the pitches except the 5.13+ crux pitch.
(unless he's sent that pitch since I last spoke with him)
As far as I know, it has yet to see an ascent done in a single push.

there was a pic of a shiny bolt right next to a perfect finger slot -- if you cant place the gear on lead it seems a fair compromise to lead with pre placed gear?

Rest assured, if Skinner had sent it, you would have heard about it. That guy has an air compressor hooked up to his own horn.

Hewitt chimed in a while back w/ all the details about it. Do a search on "Leaning Tower bolts" and it should pop up

Edit: Wow, seems to have taken them a while. i couldn't find the one i was thinking of(lambone? DMT? thought one of you started it) but i did find this one
