7 In 7

Dave Allfrey, writing for Alpinist about his and Alex Honnold’s recent efforts to climb El Capitan seven times in seven consecutive days:

In the end I believe we found what we were looking for–a physical and mental endurance challenge and a grand adventure on El Capitan. We hoped to enchain in-a-day ascents and find a new level of difficulty.

We wanted to test our big-wall skill and efficiency to see if we could make this possible.

“I’m going to send it today”

PlanetMountain caught up with Alex Megos after his one day ascent1 of Biographie (5.15a):

I warmed up by checking out the moves on Biographie, this took circa 1 hour. Then I started to make the attempts, and had circa 30 – 40 minutes rest between each go. Conditions were very good and my first feeling was: I’m going to send it today.

His thoughts on why he didn’t try to flash or onsight the route are interesting to read as well.

  1.  I’ve seen a lot of people refer to him having done it in three attempts, but I think it was actually four.  But who’s counting, right?
