Very nice....congrats!
The ascent is also another indication that the Fitzroy Massif has passed from the exploratory stage to the "let's see if we can do that climb better" stage vis a vis Chamonix. Not a criticism in any sense just an observation.
All areas that generate large interest from the worldwide climbing community undergo similar stages of development from discovery onto solo and speed ascents of exisiting routes.
At my age and ability i'd better stick to exploration and the discovery of new venues and sit back and marvel at the abilities of today's awesome young alpinists.

Nice job on a fantastic looking route! I had to check my Patagonia vertical book by Rolando to check this route out. It looks fantastic, 19 pitches of golden granite. Doing it with the crux wet? Badass!

Great route, great rock quality! Did it a few weeks before Brette (not as solo of course!). She and her boyfriend Marc are super nice, strong and EXCITED about rock climbing. All the best to them in the future. Marc had an insanely awesome trip too. Did a FA of Torre Traverse in reverse with Colin Haley, solo of Corkscrew on Cerro Torre and also a first integral ascent of Cerro Torre's N face. Hope I got it all right lol.
Few photos from Chiaro Di Luna!
And the treat after the climb.

Brette's pretty little and unassuming. But she eats heinous runout flaring squeeze chimneys for breakfast. Also, stem corners like this one, The Shadow. Undercover sender.
