Does this go in the "Stuff you can't climb if you are not a soloist" thread?

 FK "ethics" and following climbing rules one doesn't agree with...I pull those draws all the way up...people who actually climb don't give a shit about that...One of The Best Routes in the US! But don't take my word for it..

Well luckily not all climbers enjoy the same climbs otherwise there would only be a handful of climbs that got done and the other thousands of routes would be unclimbed. I chose to do that route without pulling on the draws, as I prefer  free climbing to  aid  climbing, but each to their  own.

Well I can't deny that the scenery is absolutely amazing there and the feature is wild looking but I just found the rock quality so horrible that it detracted too much from my enjoyment. I much prefer the washer woman and the Bridger jacks. I even prefer the lab wall on Cannon and I hate Cannon.

This thread reeks of ableism, privilege, and has the Eurocentric paradigm of conquest and imperialism on full display. I demand this thread be redacted.

Sport climbers don't have any bolts to clip on this and trad dads might find the protection minimal. Free soloing it is

It goes up 2 letter grades if she pulls into the sloper mantel above. She won't though cuz she forgot her chalk.

Her spotters are also doing an awful job, not worth it.
