| FA Eric Whitbeck. He would be amused to be called some visionary. Really just stubborn with a capacity for suffering.
A fun problem for sure. |

| Com'on Bill you've seen Eric's new climbing glasses, he is definatly a visionary. This thing is harder than many of the V7's at Hueco and all the V6's I've done with the exception of Lft El Murray. Sometimes though it just works and feels easy but it is very tough to do on command. |

| He is switching careers to be an architect. Architects always have great glasses. |

| I'm just saying, with glasses like those he must be able to see things we mere mortals can not. Say perhapse a great line or a sequence that makes something work, possibly just x-ray vision, now that is a scary thought. |

| I checked the old topo and the original grade was v4, but who knows it could be just my glasses. Maybe I need to trade them in for bifocals. |
