Looks like Ancient Art out in Castelton area. I saw the ad for the first time on TV today. They cleaned up all the slings that are usually on it.

I say it's GOOD. Flows money into the climbing economy. Just like those really bad movies that hire all the good climbers to do stunts and stuff.
Hopefully Alex will be be able to go climbing for several years with the paycheck. When you do an ad like this you normally get residuals every time it's played.

It kinda looked like Katie Brown at one point with Alex.
I agree, that's Ancient Art for sure.

Heh. Had to chuckle at the reporter's gag in Central Park, with the card in her hand. That was classy.

It's Katie Brown and Alex Honnold on the Corkscrew Summit of Ancient Art.
Good for them. It's a high profile national ad that will come with enough residuals to fuel their goals for awhile financially. Better than some non climbers on a green screen. At least real climbers are benefitting from it somehow.
Even though they shot some ridiculous belay positions to make it look more dramatic, at least it's real climbers in the real deal.
