2023-08-03Exactly 12 hours on the wall, took really long breaks on the few “great” belay ledges. We both managed to onsight 18 out of the 21 pitches, clean sends the whole way, whenever one of us fell we’d lower back down and try again. We are both in good shape, solid and well travelled climbers and I’ve got to say I’ve NEVER tried a 5.10D that felt that hard, nonetheless with a bunch of alpine draws the poor bolting is not really that big of an issue, linking some of the higher 5.9s where you end up in the gravel pit, prepare for rope drag. Final thoughts are that I feel like I pistol squatted my way up the entire cliff, holy f**k. Someone else here already stated it perfectly “fun climb, not fun climbing.”

2021-08-30Completed (aka topped out one way or another) after nearly 12 hours with the best partner I could of asked for, Albert M. First 11 pitches consumed the majority of our time and energy (followed by a 10 pitch grind that makes one truly appreciate Sisyphus' struggle). Highly recommend endurance training prior to the event, comfort single pitching at least 5.11a, and an all-around supportive partner. Also, make use of the nice belay ledges; your toes will thank you at the summit.
