Alex Honnold, 7 in 7 project

Graet week for Alex Honnold and his partner on El Capitan Dave Allfrey that climbed seven routes in seven days, realizing four speed record also.
Started June 2, the first route was the hardest of the tour, New Jersey Turnpike (VI 5.10 A4) whit El Nino strat and topped out after 12 hours and 24 minutes, establishing so one new record.
The next two days, they climbed Tangerine Trip (5.9 A3+) and Eagle’s Way (5.8 A3) and here a particular event occurred: Honnold whitout his approach shoes, climbed all route whit climbing shoes. We can think that it’s normal to climb whit these but Alex he would have preferred something more comfortable. In the rest of the week, Honnold and Allfrey climbed Nose (5h 16min), Lurking Fear (5h 5 min), Zodiac (5h 5 min) e Triple Direct (5h 15min).
