Well I'm not sure, but I would be surprised if other climbers didn't try to repeat it in better style. This is often how it goes. Robbins repeated the Nose in better style (no siege) after Harding, aid climbs are done free, etc. Often a climb can be repeated in better style- my point was that this doesn't necessarily take away from accomplishments of the FA. |
