While on the subject and perhaps this is a dumb question.. But has anyone ever free-soloed the B-Y?
Outside the perhaps questionable holds this seems like a reasonable thing for an exceptional climber (sure as hell not me lol) to contemplate considering the nature of the route.

Yerian said around August 31st, or whenever Alex gets back from Squamish in BC. Film crews are attached to Alex I take it.

If you want to make a big thing out of free soloing you can become a lizard in your next life.
Lizards free solo all the time.
It's much better learn why and who you are with a rope then waste ones time becoming a lizard ......

No big thing.. just something we all do. At whatever level we do it.
Right?

Great bump Ryan!! I've read it before, and I read it all again last night.
I hope Alex finds a new passion soon... It's so great to have Bachar's voice here, and it made me cry when I got to the day he died....

Here's what JB said about a freesolo of the BY
I always wanted to solo it but the knobs can break too easily - even the solid looking ones go once in a while. No matter what, the friction climbing on the third pitch would be the hardest part of the solo - you'd have to have three testicles to do that!!!

Since this thing went up with hooks and a drill, who made the first free ascent from the ground - no previewing as someone's second nor using aid gear?
