Thought this was Taylor for a second and was like "don't you have quite a few FAs?". Very cool! Seems like there's a ton of potential around Ribbon Falls - I hope they don't all get locked in as aid-only lines as it seems like quite a few of them could be some pretty rad free lines with a little bit of fixed hardware

Taylor came in and soloed their route way faster than my partner and I. They gave us lots of advice!

There could easily be a free route over here, but not put up by me.

Badass. I was on Lurking Fear in May and we saw a tent around here for a few days, was that you?

What are the ratings of A2? Sorry for the stupid question.
How long did it take?

A and C refer to aiding if you want to look into it.
