Ted Kingsnorth has redpointed his long-term, long-distance project Just Do It 8c+ on the Monkey Face at Smith Rock, Oregon. First climbed by Frenchman Jean-Baptiste 'Jibé' Tribout in 1992, it was unequivocally the hardest route in the US at the time.
Thanks all, its a mega line and worth every bit of the effort and expense. Yes Jibe was a real trail blazer back in the 80's and early 90's and his exploits are still talked about in the Park even today. Climbing these routes in the relatively primitive climbing shoes they had back then was really something else.
