Man, looks like this guy is going to put up some pretty impressive lines:

After the first bolt-fiasco on Cerro Torre I was pretty disdainful of the guy (though I always recognized he was a strong climber), but a few years later the FFA (post-bolt removal) of the Compressor, the alpine stuff he has been throwing down in Europe (solo and with partners), and now this... looks like he as embraced the light side of the Force (I hope--just keep away from the bolting and from that fecking Red Bull. I mean, a man's got to make a living, but Red Bull is a noxious company, in so many ways).

I'd love to hear what Big Jim's got to say about that.
He says it's a Black Ops conspiracy to take away our guns.....

Not on often enough to see what's on the front page, but this should be so... BUMP.
(I did notice Vitaliy tagged Moonage for a second time this season. Way to go! )

Only if that Mooses Tooth thing would be as cool as moonage...I would be there putting up routes. (joking)
It does look awesome, and it is sad when alpinism-related posts get buried in crap.

Vitaly,
By the way, what were the dates of your two Moonage runs this season? Both sets of photos look substantially different from last time I was there. But, then again, it's been a funny winter!
Brian
PS--Keep up those trip reports. Good stuff!
PPS--You can do the Tooth. Start dreamin'. Ham n' Eggs, Shaken Not Stirred...

Feb 16th was our 1st trip and March 9th we came back for 2nd.
Yeah, Ham and Eggs and other one look real nice. Would be good to go there and put own routes up.
