The Kiwi woman got close to freeing it last year (one hang) but ran out of time, weather and partners. This year she has been working the route with Sean Villanueva-O'Driscoll.What's the accepted free ascent style for the headwall these days? isn't there some distinction between doing it with belays and making it one long pitch?
