How did we ever let this line become something other than the perfect aid climbing crack?!

Ya - I thought a bit surprising. He's placing gear on lead too. He's put a bit of effort into Meltdown as well but I don't know how close he is to sending it.

Sheets, interesting how Carlo got flipped by his rope despite keeping it over the thigh.
Looks like he stepped through the rope above his piece. Should have kept the rope between his legs if he was going to have a foot right of the crack.

I'm always amused by people who comment on videos of some highly experienced climber on an extremely hard route and criticize his technique.

I ain't criticizing, just answering the question of why he got flipped in that fall. You're right, I don't know the best way to do that move. Maybe stepping through the rope is the only feasible move there and getting flipped on the fall is just part of the cost of working that move ground up.

Yes, and also it was a lot of work , time and hiking. He did around 60 times approach to the base of climb [ if I remember correctly] before he sent it.

How many quality routes are there that go 20+ years unrepeated? What an incredible talent Ron is.
Who else has been up there to give it a go? Does James know? Given how Keenan cruised Top Gun I wonder if he has taken a burn on ML.

What an apropos and proud second ascent team.
Obviously gene-dependent; non-Kauks need not apply.

makes me want to poach bison for him. talk, talk, talk. mine, not worth much.
Seriously, congratulations, some things require generations...
edit: Sometimes you have to go, and get it. It's not always given to you. If you're lucky it was..., what do you do with it? talk talk talk. seriously, congratulations
