It is still there, and the problem is still "about the same," so I'm told, though I'm sure it has to be a touch harder and a touch more scary. Apparently a good thumb-catch on the hold helps compensate for the break, but time will tell how this will really affect attempts on the line!<BR/><BR/>As noted previously, Evilution, the original line (that Carlo repeated) is the left exit, and this is not affected by the recent break.Wills Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442001639309268560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540589401809262456.post-22138751475996470832008-12-02T14:49:00.000-08:002008-12-02T14:49:00.000-08:00by the way.. a hold broke from evilution direct. ...by the way.. a hold broke from evilution direct.

As Bishop is a destination for visitors from all over the world, and not everyone publicizes their ascents beyond their own circle, it can be hard to get the historical record accurate. So, thanks again and congrats to Eric Jamet. Wow, 4 falls from over the lip! What kind of pad set up was there? That's a big drop!<BR/>WillsWills Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10442001639309268560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8540589401809262456.post-88150548329556673142008-11-24T14:37:00.000-08:002008-11-24T14:37:00.000-08:00Correction: Eric climbed Evilution Direct.
