Yes Matt.
We figured that out.
And now, here's a post from "Real Mimi". She has something real important to say, so every pony in Ponyville should pay attention.

Real Mimi here with a little late night entertainment.
page 54 of the Book of Dik, wherein all things are revealed:
After months of climbing, planning, and preparation, we left for the valley. We began our attempt on Wings of Steel (the name of our climb) early in the morning of May 4, 1982.
After years of pondering and restless waiting, the day of reckoning had arrived. Our most immediate concern was the huge pile of gear stashed in our tents. Could we move it all up the wall? Our calculations suggested we would have to live on the wall for a month. Were we deluded to think we could spend a month up there?
Instead of looking at the whole mound of gear in one mass, we had to look at it as the seven haul bags it would be, to be hauled up one by one, a lttle at a time. We could not yet grasp the thought of a month on the wall, but as we looked at the massive mound of gear, we thought we had covered all contingencies. We gained more confidence in our six months of planning.
We hiked to the base of the slab and wandered back and forth, looking for the most likely line of weakness with which to start the climb. Just looking up at the slab and thinking about the audacity of our undertaking was enough to send chills through me.
After a few hours we agreed upon the spot where Wings of Steel would leave the ground, and we determined that the next day we sould begin work on the first two pitches. We hiked badk to camp and began to rack up, all the while awash in waves of doubt and fear. As we racked, we talked. We gained courage from each other and cemented our resolve. We spent hours discussing a retreat, and decided that we were committed to the climb. Once we left the ground, we would rim out unless we were injured or the climbing became invalid in our minds. We made a vow to each other that neither of us would mention the "Q" word: QUIT! Our theory was that if neither of us started a discussion about quitting, we could never agree to quit.
We turned in that night with high hopes and soaring enthusiasm. That night I dreamed a vague dream about being "up there."

Real Mimi,
In regards to the quote above, your point is.....?
Just what is it about this route and these climbers that was so profoundly offensive to warrant such unflinching hatred and contempt for all these years ?
Can you give us a concise and factual summary of what actually went on and how people that were there at the time felt about the FA. ?
No derogatory nicknames, no snide junior high school gossip , just the facts please.
Thanks
