I heard from rtm that Hoch did not actually get the FA -- that Mills did. (despite the name) No?

Its confusing with all the Matt Hoch problems around. I thought this was actually the "Undone Matt Hoch Problem" FA'd by Dan Mills. Jojo would noe better than me tho!

as i recall, Dan and I were in Hochs living room in Flagstaff, going thru any of his videos that had TRAM on them.
We found video of James March and Hoch trying the problem we are now speaking of. They were failing in the video. We asked Hoch where the problem was.
He told us where it was, and that he had in fact climbed it after the video was taken. We were excited to try it when we got home from AZ.
When we got back, we both climbed it, Dan first.
Another cool thing was Hoch had the FA video of James March on Year of the Cat. pretty rad.

While you are changing stuff, this problem is not on the YOTC boulder.
