Now THAT is skill and boldness....he absolutely cruised it... I know it was described as a F7a solo but still.

Very, very cool, and super impressive. But can it really be classed as an onsight with that amount of chalk on it? Surely having every last hold marked up constitutes beta, no? I'm not saying Ryan is to blame - on the contrary, he too must be pretty pissed to have his onsight experience ruined like this.
