Alex arrived at the belay bug-eyed, and said, "this route is a good adventure!" We rapped down, had pizza at Curry Village...
By far the best writeup yet. Good details.
Thanks Will!
I like his October blog too, swinging leads on Bachar-Yerian with his girlfriend. These are some wild young climbers, obviously having a great time.

Thanks Supa for the Will link. It has become clear that The Belle is still being looked at as quite technical and hard.

Is this the ultimate slab route?

Munge, great question. I have been wondering that myself. I think it is, and we're talking "the world", too. If we consider length, placement, difficulty, history, quality of rock, nature of the climbing, drama.

As for ultimate slab, Hall of Mirrors is another contender, especially in the smooth and edging departments. It has had only one repeat.
Southern Belle is harder, has the hard crack climbing start, and of course is notorious for being more runout than the Bachar-Yerian.

Yes, these guys are great climbers, but Will crashed into my car trying to back out of the driveway, and I once saw Alex unable to get a rope through his rappel device...right after saying "god doesn't rain on MY parade." Apparently competence doesn't always extend to all realms of life. ;)
