I've been following this and it makes me laugh because Honnold has said in many interviews that he doesn't really like cold, new routing, or expeditions and prefers walls near the road in the sunshine with food nearby.
This trip is basically the opposite but I bet he's still killing it. That's a top notch team down there, and Warbler will be happy to know they even included females :)

We'll...that was outrageous! I just returned from an all time @thenorthface expedition to The Drygalski mountains in Queen Maudland Antarctica, with @alexhonnold @sav.cummins @conrad_anker @pfaff_anna @jimmy_chin and @pablo_durana it was by far the most productive trip to the alpine I have ever had. Partnered with @alexhonnold we established 7 first ascents, and tagged 13 summits, including all the major summits in the range, except for Ulvetanna, which Conrad and Jimmy established an epic first ascent on in bigwall style. That means as a team we climbed essentially every major tower in the range! I'll be unpacking the sheer amount of climbing and adventure we experienced for a long time, and will be posting a bunch of wild photos from the adventure in the near future. Right now I just feel extremely grateful to have safely experienced one of the most beautiful, and otherworldly ranges in the world...and to have just taken my first shower in over a month!
Sounds like a pretty amazing expedition!

Sounds like very impressive adventuring from both teams. Good to see there's still a place for this kind of thing.
