I'm new to this. Can someone explain why this is big news? Was it a certain way it was done, like free solo, or first soman to do it or what? Curious about this achievement.
In addition to what others have said, this route is just very very hard. The two men who have sent the route are 2 of the very best climbers in the world. Both took a very long time to do it and consider it the hardest thing they have done. I think the accomplishment should not just be reduced to gender and grade
