I plucked a couple of pics off Masters Of Stone 5, of Dean free soloing the Nose, in my review. As you can see, he's got a few cams and a rope, but the rope is only to rap off with. When he gets to a bolt ladder he just silver jugs it (no rope) - hand over hand up the bolts. Most of the time he's running up the thing with zero pro, and the rope slung over his shoulders. |
