Congrats to him! Only the 4th ascent in 20 years... crazy.

I saw that. Pretty cool!
I do question the "4th" ascent part though. Lynn Hill did it (twice), Scott Burk has been given credit for the 2nd ascent even though he TR'd the Great Roof. Then you have Tommy Caldwell and Beth Rodden freeing it with Tommy doing it at least twice himself.
So perhaps Jorg is the 5th person and the 7th? ascent...

If you are going to give Beth credit you have to give Scotty credit, he led all pitches except the great roof, but top roped it clean.
So really you have Lynn, Tommy, and now Verhoeven to lead all pitches clean. Lynn and Tommy are the only ones to do it free in a day.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
