How do people climb for so long?

Aero cap, ARC and a high boredom threshold.

I hope Dan doesn't mind me posting, but him and Ned repeated The Prow at Kyloe In. Top effort, great line.

Not sure if this link will work, but here's the film of Owen testing the new peg on Snap Decision a few years ago, scariest thing I've ever seen!

Effort to the Buys!
