on that note and as someone who spends/wastes? far too much time on this board i feel it is my duty to repost what i wrote on this board just before tommy and kevin freed the dawn wall two years ago... i wasn't bang on with the date, but i still feel it is important to take this opportunity for the following short victory lap... so with apologies for my flagrant lack of modesty and from the all the pitches of the dawn wall have now gone free thread:

and so let's also stop being such a bunch of old farts that we think this is going to take 20 or 30 years to repeat.

i'll place good money that this is repeated [in better style] within five to ten years.

kids in the current avant garde are on sighting 14c.

if these guys succeed, the most difficult part of this climb will have already been done for anybody that follows.

because, what is f*#king unbelievable is that these guys found a free climbable path up this wall.

and so assuming they are able to prove that it is possible, the press that this route has received will have given it the biggest bulls eye on the planet.

what up and comer isn't going to put a big ole poster on his wall and dream of making his mark by being the second?

sorry old timers... time moved on... whether we were ready or not.
