Katie Brown has onsighted the Regular Northwest Face (VI 5.12) of Half Dome, completing the 23-pitch route in about nine hours. Brown’s partner was Alex Honnold, who belayed and carried a pack. The two simul-climbed “a bunch of the easy stuff,” but Brown led every pitch above 5.9. She had never been on the route before.

Great photos can be found from the link above. I'd put them up, but want to respect John Dickey's copyright.
Worth checking out.

Hopefully the softness and OOF (out of focus) appearance of the photos is due to poor conversion for web...?

She climbed the route with someone who had freed the route a few times, once solo, and a photographer hung from a rope taking pictures of her. There's a bit of route finding on the route, and it is not entirely straight forward. A very proud flash.
