Wow. I've always wanted to climb the Heart Route by aid or free... well, by aid. I always thought it was a cool line in spite of people telling me it was a chossy mudfest.
I think this is an awesome achievement. Well done.

New route: Climb Sacherer Cracker and continue to top via difficult climbing.
Great accomplishment. Congratulations. I love that it starts from the top of the Sacherer Cracker. As Dean would say, "Everything is connected."
And, apparently, this brave new world is based on huge sideways dynos.

Randisi, I believe the uproar over the Dawn Wall began when it was first aacended and the fallout led the media to go all-in, letting it all hang out.
The nobodies nobody knows were much less of a draw and managed to keep it sane and "real." Their reward is in having done it, pure and simple.
It's a totally impressive thing, and I remember my first year there, in Camp 4, hoping to meet either Kroeger or Davis, two of the younger generation, like myself, but that never happened.
Tremendous accomplishment, especially after a longish hiatus and getting their "second wind."
That is some bad-ass climbing on the Bartlett Wash crack, too, O MY GOD!

Pretty rad! Always thought that feature looked super fun to free, I love big granite dihedrals and that has it's fair share!
How many new pitches, and any new terrain? Really cool how the original lines on El Cap get new attention in the modern era :D

New route: Climb Sacherer Cracker and continue to top via difficult climbing. Love it!
V10 downward dyno... I wonder if there's a video of it somewhere, or how soon there will be one.
