Masterfully done. Its very satisfying having "diffused a bomb" but from my chair, I can't help but think "Better a hole more, than a man less", when the feature is so temporary. Great job though. You really are one cool headed climber, who works out solutions.

Dang end of June is pushing it for climbing weather in the valley given it can easily get up into the nineties making climbing the walls more of a survival experience than enjoyable sport. You have huge balls, Oliver. And, as I discovered long ago, there are many routes in Yosemite that are severely underrated in my opinion. Looking forward to watching this climb you posted today. Thanks for sharing your videos with us since I am long past the age and physical condition required to do them myself anymore! Cheers from NorCal.

I’ve had a nightmare similar to this route. This thing is pissed. Steve is tall mofo. Really nice climbing Oliver. No phaff.

Sinkah- wheeeyouuueep! That brought a tear to my eye as I sit here and type emails and toil over work garbage. Arms raised in a V.

What did you end up doing through that sketchy loose section? Did you go around it or do the opposing cam trickery?

Did you knock down the flake once you were above the flake and your gear was up at the next belay ?

How does this Every Man For Himself compare to Sea Of Dreams in terms of scary / dangerous?

Dang bro you left us hanging on how you navigated that first move off the rivit with hanger and then also how you negotiated that second hook above the rivet without hanger that held your fall....🫠🥂
