      I believe that BigUp filmed it, or someone did. It will be in the Reel Rock Film tour this year. Will you please just stop questioning it? Whats your deal?

    On the real topic, Jimmy had said a send would be coming soon, and he called it. Its kind of surprising that it stood for so long and then is going down so quickly and even being downgraded. Two sends in a week and two downgrades is… well I wouldn’t say surprising because the question has been “will a downgrade come?” for a while… but it really brings up questions of what plays into a send like this and why such strong climbers have graded it harder.

    Strong climbers will flock to classic hard lines in mega-classic sectors near hyper-popular cities. Basing a downgrade on the number of ascents is unjustified, small-minded, and unAmerican.

    Didn’t the first three ascents occur fairly quickly too?
