Nick aiding pitch 22 which is free at 11c. I think this maybe the pitch Ueli Steck must have fallen off when he almost onsighted Golden Gate?

I just gogled this and from CLIMBING site:
'And the one pitch that spoiled his onsight? It was the 5.11c crack off the top of El Cap Spire, just before Golden Gate heads right from the Salathé Wall.'
