I love the concept of these mega link-ups. What a line this will be if he ever links through Move into the top, as if it isn't already impressive enough.
What sort of tactics get used? Swapping ropes, obviously, but having your belayers on Bosun's Chairs at each change would also reduce the drag a little, the weight of the rope must be a big issue. I guess Revolvers would help too, and skinny ropes.
