I recall Scott Stuart saying that he did the first TR of this when he was very young. He'd been climbing every thing his buddies put him on and never falling. They had enough of that and sandbagged him onto this wall that had never been climbed. He did climb it, on TR, with no falls, bottom to top. Turns out that the main reason he wasn't falling was that he was scared our of his wits. Not sure what he took his first fall on.from DL Alum1983. ABQ
