Wouldn't be surprised of somebody went and climbed it and just didn't want to jump into the fray so they kept it to themselves.
No info on that, just spraying
Peace

No secret story, just can't believe somebody with the skills hasn't just hiked up and sent it. Why not? Come on, How many times do people have the opportunity to do a second ascent of a route like that?
I'd love to say I sent it but instead I'll say i'm not buff enough for it
peace

Interesting--wasn't this route "put up for the people", as in rap-bolted en masse to provide accessible (free)climbing on the South Face ?
All good plans...

"Doug and Sean are more man then any of you whiners could ever dream of."
elitist climbers only climb rocks well.
it takes more than being a good climber to be a man.
take care

Answer...
Make a far greater mess than the route ever could.
I'd rather see the Compressor Route chopped. Now that is a blight!

"I rope soloed the first seven or eight pitches free over a couple of lazy days. ..At least one protection bolt was a foot from a bomber cam and several others are not necessary to prevent dangerous falls. ...It did feel wierd to be climbing a sport climb on such a big and ominous slabby face with so few routes, though. The route is an anomaly but the quality of the climbing is superb."
What route were you on? If you only climbed the first seven or eight pitches, you were nowhere near where the bolted face climbing began. And the part about a bolt being a foot from a bomber cam? The only time a bolt was placed near a "crack" (other than anchors) was when the "crack" was a sloping lieback that wouldn't accept a 6 inch cam. Looks like OW from below, then you get there, and it's not. Also, in order to get to the face climbing, you should be comfortable at .13-.
Curious.
