Only just found this. Did I miss a thread here?

Auer isn't well known in NA, but he's one of the best at big free climbs. His solo of The Fish on Marmolada Suedwand is one of the major events of the last decade.

Considering the original ratings this is way impressive! Must be a tatfest for protection...

this is one of the major events of the year so far in North American climbing.

although i guess its tough to compete with a new gym in fresno.

I remember reading about the dry tool ascent by Ogden/Nelson back in '05 and thinking that it didn't really feel like a step forward. This, on the other hand...

Well I know they didn't have a critical fixed Rurp to use since it is on my key chain.
Didn't seem to slow them up any.

8hrs or so on the final push to change a multi day wall into a free climb.

Outstanding!
