Wow. Old news, but still amazing! So my first Wow! stands.
"With just 16 hours of daylight available, Alex must average a climb every 3 minutes, racking up more climbing in a single day than most people manage in the space of a year."


LOL, <290 pitches in a year, bet that's me:-) LOL,

I'll bet I've climbed about 290 pitches in the last decade.

Impressive. I surf on my birthday. Dawn patrol no matter how bad the conditions might be.

Doesn't it?

Many avoid it because it is harder and scarier, even though it makes you a better climber.
