Any of the fraggles. i mean, no question. yeah, they're not technically muppets but they're still Jim Henson. Fraggles would rip through dawn wall no prob!

Muppets have fuzz on their fingers which would make it really hard to climb on small holds, idiot.

STFU noob! Those fuzzies would help them stay on like the micro-hairs on lizards feet. Search the archives before you post this crap.

Beaker. He has the climbers build.

Muppet attempts on the Dawn Wall would be amazing publicity for climbing. It could be the thing to give to the sport the needed push into the mainstream. Of course the best part would be Statler and Waldorf's commentary from the Meadow.

I'm in for another $20. "Muppets of Stone", vol. x. Bert getting pissed at Ernie for shortroping him. Bert sticking the lateral dyno with his nose. Possibilities are endless.

Killis nailed it, Ratso Rizzo is the guy to free the Dawn Wall. Rat's are incredible athletes. His only downfall might be his penchant for chewing gear, and pissing off partners, which on second thought might make him the first muppet to die big wall free climbing.

Mr. Snuffleupagus has actually already freed all of the moves on the Dawn except the 8 foot dyno. He will back up on the wall this week to send the gnar. Having read his blog he will rename the route the Chronicles of Gnar- nia, should he send the rig....

let's get back on track here fellas..

ratso rizzo was a new yorker with TB - couldn't barely climb a set of stairs, much less the dawn wall..

rizzo the rat, muppet extraordinaire, now.. who knows what that little bugger could do.

carry on.

The one that's gonna do it is Kermit. Kermit is way underrated as a climber, probably because of his nice-guy attitude and his stick-like arms. But frog can climb anything, he is intelligent, thoughtful, and dedicated. He is the T Caldwell of The Muppets. But like TC he can't do it alone.



Animal is well-known for his hairy leads. I think he could free all the moves on Dawn Wall, but sustaining his interest for the complete ascent would be a challenge. He might wander onto another route.

Only Kermit has the calm demeanor and zenlike aura required to climb with Animal and keep him on route. On the other hand, Animal would bring out the crazy frog in Kermit. He'll need to get wild to nail that high crux. This is the team. The time is now.
