Holly crap… I really suck at climbing after reading that!

Yes young jedi that would be true…. But in reality I bet a long free big-wall route gets soloed first before a 14c.

MacLeod posted a video of the route on YouTube - perhaps because people were slagging it off, saying it looked (as it did, kinda, in his wife’s photos) like a highball boulder problem. Most evidently, it is not.

Oh yeah there was this too, on the ‘Tube:

Oddly enough, a 14c was soloed years ago. It’s an old Rouhling route called Archipel. It was soloed by some euro who’s name I forget. It was mentioned in an old Climbing mag.

Still the sickest solo to date has to be Huber’s solo in the Dolomites. Crazy.
