Sorry but "team-free" ascents (where each climber leads half the pitches) of multi-pitch routes don't really count as free ascents, anymore than one climber freeing half a single pitch and their partner freeing the other half would. There is no such thing as "we" freed it. A route does not go free until someone actually does it.

Who said they were planning on doing it "team free"? Sounds to me like each are going to train for their respective weaknesses and return in the autumn so each of them can free it as a team - not "team free."

They're planning to climb it all free, meaning they alternate leads, but that the one seconding climbs it clean as well.
