This kid has something wrong with him. He just posted a "selfie" on Facebook from the top of The Salathe. Solo, in 20 hrs and 6 minutes. What are they feeding these kids these days? Well done Cheyne. Well done.

Too bad he couldn't go sub-20 hours. The kid definitely lacks motivation and drive.

well done!!!

My immediate reaction was "yeah, that's a pretty good time for modern climbing"

But then I remembered how long it takes me to climb that thing (multiple days)...then I remembered it's 35 pitches (that is quite a pace)...then it started to sink in that he had no partner (so he's going up and down and up and down, etc)...then it started to sink in...

HOLY SH!TBALLS that is fast!

Damn impressive. The mix of free and aid climbing that this entails to do that quickly is a feat to be sure.
