One day ascent? did they not spend a night on a ledge halfway up the wall?

yes but if they started at mid day and finished before mid day tomorrow, that would be a one day ascent, with a sleep in the middle

In reply to UKC Articles: That was pretty lame - more time spent in traffic jams than climbing.

Too bad we never learned who did the route in the first place.
A bit more climbing would have been nice, but a pretty good, interesting video to have been shot by just one guy. And I liked Mike Call's little joke at the end!

I enjoyed it, but when I noticed they were clipping bolts it didn't really seem so adventurous.

In reply to stella1: They did a 2 day ascent first to work the route, then had a rest day and sent it the following day.
