Free solo on The Naked Edge

I watched a guy free solo The Naked Edge yesterday. I've never seen a hard route soloed and it was pretty amazing to see! He just looked so casual (thankfully!!) and in such perfect control that it wasn't even scary to watch, it was just cool to see such a display of physical and mental control. He had no idea I was watching so there was no ego or show boating going on. No one else, that I was aware of, saw him up there.
Just thought I would comment on a pretty cool thing that I was able to witness in Eldo. I know the climbers name but I won't use it today because maybe he doesn't want this to be a public event.
I wonder how big the list of people is that have free soloed the Edge?
I can only think of:

Jim Collins
Derek Hersey
Rolo
Charlie Fowler??

crazy kids today..

I wonder if you are referring to the person i am thinking of rob?

Alex is still in town, I think. From what he's had to say in the past, I don't think he'd care one way or the other if he did it and people knew.
He'd be my primary suspect for who was up there.

Add Mike Hankins to that list...

I know of at least one other, but I won't say as I don't know if he would want it to be a public event! (This would probably be about 30 years ago, before my time as a climber, but he was a well known hard climber of that era and there would be no question as to whether he did it, from what I know of his reputation and established climbs. There may be some or many others for all I know.)

I know someone (who will remain unnamed) who has done it multiple
times. . . sick!

Yo

BUMP for office chair aww!

Brad G, what would your mother think??

Mic, How may times have you soloed the Edge?

I should have put Mic on the list but I don't know him, I've only seen him solo by me in Eldo :), so I wasn't positive if he has done it or not.

has anyone soloed the edge naked?

pics or gtfo

So you don't want to just say Alex Honnold?

Has it been soloed, naked?

I heard Alex Honnold soloed the Naked Edge with bacon grease on his fingers and wearing approach flops. Whoever was up there is horribly reckless and surely going to die - almost as dangerous as doing speed records.

Just once on the Edge. It was during a mad summer that also included solos of C'est La Vie, Kings X, Tagger, Outer Space, T2, and more. What a world.

(thanks Tony... I'd almost forgotten being talked into the 3rd with you guys after a large lunch)
