“We had this run as a big idea but decided not to do it – not even in practice – unless absolutely necessary. We found it necessary to take the chance on our last run,” wrote the legend, Hawk.

“There were a few risky moments (like trying to stall an invert in order to re-sync our walls and then Andy swiping me away on a switch air to fakie), but varial 5’s were the most worrisome from our perspectives. Once we made those, our special meters were full.”

“Thanks to anyone that was watching back then, and to all of you [re]discovering these moments thanks to current technologies,” he added.
