Tomo Cesen...Did he do it or did he not?

[Terminal_Gravity]

What's your opinion?

 

I think that being poor and from Yugoslavia, he had the motivation to lie, so he could get financial benifit and support his family. He has publicly stated that he will not compromise his family's well being for climbing. It seems that it would be an easy stretch to compromise honesty.

 

Of course he is a visionary and brilliant climber anyway and maybe us lowly cc'ers should not even discuss it.

dude was photographed soloing 13c so if anybody could do it probably he could.

 

i say wait for 2nd ascent of the route and see what they say.

 

there do seem to be problems with his story

 

and to his credit he did not go back with a compressor drill and bolt his way up!
