Hadn't seen this on MP yet, so thought I'd share the  news. Pretty impressive.

I wonder if that pic of Honnold is from the actual linkup. Kinda interesting/weird to see a pre-hung draw.

The pic is not of the linkup.

Seriously amazing simul climbing though. They climbed each route in one pitch with a single rack. At a certain point why even use ropes?

You’re probably more likely to fall when you’re running up 5.11 and .12 pitches. Not that I would ever know.

“Single rack”.

I guess they brought 9 cams and 30 draws. Forgot about all the bolts in RR.
