Hell Largo. Some of those hard Hensel routes were done once or twice year or not at all. Back then. (Because their f*#king hard )

John,
You pose an interesting observation and question. I also found Randy's post about the SYN rating interesting. I'll see if I can post up a few of my thoughts on it a little later this evening.
BTW - if you have any Stairway to Heaven or Hades pictures hanging around, post them up, we'd all like to see them. I'm thinking Stairway may be another route that still doesn't have a repeat. At least not that I know of. That would be a plum to try and do.

I'll try and dig out some pics of Stairway to Heaven. Dean's got a couple of the crux pitch that are going into the new Stonemaster book (plus several pics of Hades), but I don't have those.
It seems impossible that someone hasn't repeated that route. What the heck are people doing who go up there? Stairway to Heaven is like 30 years old, and must be readily doable by modern standards.

John -
People just plain aren't going up there to do the harder routes. I was there a bit last year and rarely saw anyone on anything.
Man, we make good parrots. I also can't believe the routes up there don't get done. They just can't be that hard. If some of us old dudes can still get up 'em, I mean sheesh, give me a break. It has to be other reasons like popularity.
I know someone who recently expressed an interest in checking out the Stairway. It would be great to see anything at all from the route.
Gordo - you're making me dizzy. Reorient that picture. You're as bad as Muir.
