A send like this is nearly incomprehensible for a master of mediocrity like myself. WOW is a huge understatement.

As someone who loves having their feet higher than their head as often as possible this seems like a dream romp of linear proportions almost hard to imagine existed. Pretty damn cool...

What Scuffy said!, Cheers again guys!
I hear that on a groundup attempt carrying the rack, Stevie did it with one(?) fall/hang.

The pictures on the blog are crap.
The pictures on this thread make the route outstanding.
I am impressed now. Sweet.

Unfortunately, I don't think that they are photo-worthy enough to be Golden Piton recipients though, in spite of the spectacular send...

It'd be nice to have a bit more info to lay some perspective on this wildness. Pics, check, basic history, check, spray, check...Length...?
edit: ok the uk link had 120 feet...

Whilst it would be ideal to have placed the gear on lead during each of our attempts, the practicalities of it made it almost impossible.
Uh, doesn't that mean that you weren't destined to get the actual FFA?

Pre-placed gear?!?
Calling it 14d?!?
I call bullsh#t.
Their new found fame is getting the best of them.
Does either have a record of doing 14s in two days?!?

So you preplaced the gear. At least you were honest. Still an FFA in my book.
Of course now, there is still the challenge of a true redpoint ascent that still awaits.
Probably, the only way that will happen is if someone really sacs-up and runs it out a bit . . .
Calling it 14d?!?
Perhaps extreme OW should have its own rating scale.
I always liked the PDW rating (Pretty Damn Western)
