He did a three peaks in 24 hours challenge at yosemite too, which is even more incredible. He did it in 16 hours. My palms were sweating just watching it. I think it was covered on reel rock 2012?

There used to be a link to a full length video of his ascent of Moonlight Buttress but this seems to have been removed. On it there is one section where he transfers from an small, overhanging alcove, out on to a finger-tip crack - all several hundred feet above the ground. Properly traumatising!

I'm the same, I can hardly watch.

I think he's so self-effacing and such a nice young fella, I hope he manages to hold it all together. Glad he's not my son!!!

Compelling stuff!

That's quite funny although the use of the term "death march" seems a bit unfortunate consider where the term originated from!
