A really nice video man, thanks for sharing. I did my first bit of multi-pitching a couple of weeks ago, but it was an (extremely) well-bolted route. Still, it left quite an impression on me. I've no fear of heights, but once you're 100+m above the ground it gets to you. Let alone doing it trad style. Again, well done
Thank you! Yeah, while this was my first long trad multipitch, I've eased into the habit for a while. I've done a couple of 60 meter/4 pitches fully bolted routes, and a few two-pitch trad routes before. Basically, I had the logistics of multipitch pretty much dialed in, and just had to extend my mindset from four to 8/9 pitches. I'll tell you this, I was expecting to get some irrational vertigo just from the shear height. Like I've felt looking down from bridges and balconies, but I felt nothing. Completely comfortable on small ledges all the way up. I take that as a trust certificate to my belayer and my own ability to place gear! Again, thank you for your nice comment and sharing your multipitch story! Climb on!
I don't know about the speed record, but if simulclimbed by seasoned climbers, I wouldn't be surprised if it could be done in less than half an hour. About extreme ironing, I had to Google the term... And I thank you, internet stranger and friend, for introducing me to this wonderful sport. I must get myself a durable ironing board and try it out!

I wonder what the speed climbing record for that route is? Or the 'extreme ironing' best...
