They use ropes at all times for safety, just not to ascend.
What is special about this attempt is that it appears they will successfully climb every pitch, in order, without using the ropes to ascend.
- prawn 12y agoProbably worth clarifying: each pitch is being climbed in order, and for each pitch alone they not using ropes to ascend. But between these harder pitches (at least, and maybe all), they return to a base camp (on the cliff-face) before using ropes to ascend up to where they want to start the next pitch.
