Chris Sharma should make the trip down and hit up some more of those ill nasty gnar gnar in-sight 5.14's...naaa meeeen! to whom this may concern, on the topic of on-sighting 5.14′s, i think that smith rock has a wide variety of long and difficult sport climbs that deserve some attention.

Mike Doyle was shouting beta to him as he climbed it so I suppose it was the old beta. Either way I agree the flash was very impressive, regardless of the grade. I watched Sean flash it.

The route has subsequently been upgraded to .14a due to the crumbling / breaking of several key holds. Also, it has been suggested by more than one person that Thanatopsis is .14a "with the new beta." I have no idea which method Sean McColl used. No matter what, both ascents are seriously impressive.
