The 7 in 7 - A Marathon on El Cap
In June of 2014 I teamed with all around climbing machine Alex Honnold to attack a marathon of big wall routes in Yosemite Valley. The plan was to climb a route on the 3000 foot granite monolith every day for a whole week. Out of the seven routes we set speed records on our first three routes and then set a fourth speed record on final day. Check out the full account in the link above.

Look! I convinced Alex Honnold to wear a helmet. I didn't want to kill him with loose, hard, scary aid climbing. photo: David Allfrey
