Oh man, I've done the tourist route up the shield headwall, left this suburban schoolteacher shaking in his blue meanies. I can't imagine freeclimbing up there, cool shiiet!

I've seen ground-up routes that are terrible routes, and I've seen top-down routes that are really bad as well. I've climbed and loved routes of both varieties. Some of this ground-up argument is just a way of saying, 'ground up is harder,' which is true. Whether it's somehow more moral or ethical, well.... I know some 20-35 foot bolted routes that were put up from the ground that will make you shake your head...in disgust. And I know some top down routes that are full on dangerous, and beautiful.
I don't really care how other people are doing it, as long as what as left is nice. But I gotta say, the Muir Wall free adventure by coz and kid was amazing. Luck Fober, though.

I'll echo what Jay Breaux just said....
That’s the way my voice-activated software picked it up…how you like that JayBro?
*Could be the new you, maybe only the beret-clad coffeeshop version of JBro or something*
(and I never even did the Shield, but you'all get the idea)
Okay here’s the cover,

"stemming and kneebars," looking at the photo, I always thought that looked like my kind of pitch...
