I am sure that they spent more time walking than climbing.

I love days like that. It's just fantastic to spend that much time on the rock in beautiful places with an amazing partner.
Edit: not that I've come even close to linkups like that, just that have had good long days with fun partners!

Amazing - there's a lot of mileage NOT climbing in there as well.
Big congrats to Alex and Tommy!

Piton R.. It seems a lot of folks misunderstood my position on risk. There is being damn good and managing risk well and there is being pretty good and just freaking winging it a lot of the time, gettin lucky usually..but eventually dying young.
Was talking to Alex Honnold 4 days ago in C4... talking to him and seeing him climb.. I don't get the impression he is reckless.
