The kids are all right!
"It's just like Snake Dike but more extreme."
That quote leaves me speechless.
Fantastic work!

This tale of The Honnold and Will going up there is much like the ancient epics and fairytales of yore recounting the arrival of some splendid young heros who then slay the mythical dragon that has been living up in the hills terrorizing the villagers below for generations.

It has to, Munge. 2,000 ft of that granite; it's the best rock the Valley has to offer. I so want to hear more about their experience up there.

I'm proud of them for going after the Belle rather than that sport route next door....:)

Kind of interesting how repeat ascents are so awe inspiring. Huge kudos, of course!
But, something brand new would be pretty nifty...

Glad to see these two strong climbers send this line.
Three ascents in 22 years says a lot about the route, regardless of Alex down-playing it.
Thanks for the report, James.

Good send from two great climbers. Notice how climbs with relatively (by today's standards) low technical ratings that have a sting in the tail stand the test of time.

maybe the guys will give the route next door a shot and see if they could have established it ground up onsight. Now there's a topic that all us armchair climbers can get behind spewing on the internetz about! heh :)

I've never climbed an armchair - is it harder than the regular chair traverse?
