Dawn shouldn't be a problem for Sharma I reckon; that thing is a sport clip up anyway right?

Randisi-
I believe it would best be written 'scend, with an apostrophe to denote the dropped 'a' from the word 'ascend'
ex:
I hope they ascend the sh#t out of the mountain!
slang usage:
I hope they 'scend the sh#t out of the mountain!
My theory.

One of my pet peeves.
Always hated the phrase
Good for you?
SEND SHARMAN
(it's all language, which is communication. So long as the ideas and values are communicated to the audience and recieved it works - nawmean?)

Yep... the dream team on the Cap ... should be interesting. Not quite Sharma's cup of tea but maybe that is what is needed on the project, 5 years in the making. As I recall, the Nose was not impressed with his efforts a few years back... however, redemption does have a satisfaction unlike any other!
Tear down those Yosemite Closed signs!!

Hope they send.
Send what?
I don't understand this usage of "send" as an intransitive verb.
Your lack of understanding has nothing to do with whether "send" is being used transitively or intransitively--it could be either, depending on the context.
As with "climb," "send" can be transitive or intransitive, and the meaning is essentially the same.
Intransitive example:
I enjoy watching Sharma send.
Transitive example:
I'm going to send this gnar route.
I'm guessing that you just don't like the use of "send" to mean something like "to successfully climb," but there's no reason to bring transitive/intransitive into it.

Have you ever watched a video of Caldwell climbing? Right away you see that half missing left index finger. Watching how he is freeing those "blank" sections of El Cap, with micro micro holds, is much different than power lunges on obvious holds in a cave. This is a really odd sport route. Just being vertical makes it different. All of the hard routes are in caves now.
I hope they get it. This route is going to be something huge if they can put it all together.
As for hanging belays, there just aren't many stances up there. The first place to stand up on Mescalito is at the Bismark Ledge. I think it is OK to hang at belays. In the future it will change and go without hanging belays. Kind of like the Salathe Headwall was later climbed ledge to ledge.
Tom....get shooting some pics. I know that the mags would love them. This is history going down. It will be the hardest route on Earth as a whole.

I agree, Tom. This route is crazy in the number of futuristic hard pitches. Maybe it will help put the valley back on the free climbing radar.
