can't have much of an opinion on a climb i've never done 
  
while i solo a lot, i try to remind myself not to compare what i solo to others, or even what i'm soloign today to what i've soloed in the past - the shit scares me, so i try to keep it fun and non-competitive 
  
i couldn't begin to imagine even freeing, let alone soloing, 5.12 - i'd no more compare myself to this guy than to lance armstrong or any other athletic mutant
