Opis:
After getting off the Nose in 4 days on 11/3, I took one rest day to strategize a NIAD run with Chris Farrah. Chris hadn't been on the Nose in over a year and we had no idea what our time would be. We were hoping for something in the 12 to 14 hour range but we would not have been surprised if it took longer. We went up for a Dolt run and both got to the top in 2:48. We were psyched! We came down, rested and went up for the real thing on 11/7/19. We eventually topped out in 8:06:13 after one of the most fun days I've ever had in my life. We used a Wild Country Revo to self belay while short fixing for those who are curious.
