An extraordinary feat!
"Honold has also onsight free-soloed Pipeline (A Squamish offwidth testpiece)"
Considered hard 5.10, by those who know. The first free ascent of Pipeline was by Greg Cameron in 1979 - solo. (In case he's listening.)

Yesterday Alex and I walked into the ledge on the Rostrum and climbed the Excellent Adventure to the Rostrum roof. Alex onsighted the 5.13 trad pitch.
He's 22 now.
Thank you James.

Rumor has that Warner took along only 4 stoppers as pro on Astroman "because you need to make the belays safe."
True Warner?

Has anyone got a copy of that shot of Werner leading, where he is at the top of the 'Enduro Corner' pitch, with the rope hanging below and just one piece of pro in place?
If you do, maybe you could post it?
It shows the steepness of that pitch, and the climb in general.

Wow thats a major run out in the above photo .....
The climber in my shots is Hamish Fraser from Squamish.
Unfortunately I am pulling the haul line into the shot because it would be almost completely out of it otherwise.

Cameron Cross is the fellow from Montrose . . . anyone know what he's doing these days?
Alex will probably have a big year in 2014.

Such a promising start. What has he done since then?
Just kidding. I forgot he was so young when he did Astroman

Somehow I think I recall the very first time I had ever heard Alex's name - I think James posted something - here - about Alex sending the Alien on the Rostrum - with a rope at this point - but fresh out of the gym - maybe got it second try or some-such.
