Is the intent for rescue/bailing, recreational rapping, or an alternative descent to the East Ledges?

Oh man, the commitment of climbing the Nose will be brought down to that of following up on the promises made to your tinder dates! Now, one will be able to rap it with a 60m rope instead of a 70! where is this world going?! This generation of sport climbing wankers is taking over and the whole experience of climbing will be reduced to that of sending a pink v0 in the gym, FOR EVERYONE! SOMEBODY send the bolt police to chop the bolts and parade the torso of the Yosemite Parasite on Main Street in order to save El Cap from becoming the road-side crag the future generation wants it to feel like! No one wants the experience of climbing the Nose to be as sterile as Burchey before the vasectomy reversal! FIGHT FOR YOUR RIGHT TO RAP WITH TWO ROPES!

Not nice writing
Heartfelt tho.
It is just sad. We could have bolted anything but saw the chalk plumes grow on things like Killa pillar ? Was that it?
We saw that to strip very hard climbing down to a set of moves with a guaranteed outcome based on others work
was in no way as inspiring as doing it yourself with a 50/50 chance.
More than unfulfilling, it rubbed us the wrong way, it was cheating to top down bolt or create convince when the point was to do it free & clean .....striving for better style.
Honestly V?
My taste in music is not limited to anything,
YouTube Bad Brains or The stimulators,
but regegitating noise
screeching, turned up and down for vibrio Effect...
I did not make it through your share!
I mean I stopped it at 2:58, not 3 minutes in!
I'm impressed -that's some twisted visuals too!
I've been known to. . . .
Ho I've said to much...

Turning it into 20 Gunks climbs stacked on top of each other?

Wow Reilly, your posts are the best!!!!!!!!!!! said no one ever.
Reading SuperTopo you'd think Erik was the most hated person ever. I was expecting to see all these people running after him, carrying their laptops and waving their fists in the air.
Maybe I'll see them this fall.

Well, even after it has been dumbed down, I still have respect for anyone who can get up it in <24 hours.
I personally would think long and hard about modifying one of the greatest rock climbs in the world.

+1 for chopping it. There is already one 'hardest route in the world' on el Cap (Dawn Wall) and it would be disappointing see to El Cap grid bolted with sport climbs. I think power drills are banned, and if one is used in this misguided plan, then YOSAR should rap in on 70 meter ropes and bust their asses.
I agree about the east ledges descent though. Some extra gear might be a good idea. It's been 25 years since I descended it, lol, but I don't think my ropes always reached the next anchor, and I remember having to move the haulbag across ledges while I was unclipped. There's no reason for that route to be dangerous.

YOSAR can't bust anyone.
Only law enforcement can ......
