Honnold and Caldwell Link Big Routes in 40 km 36.5-Hour Push
Including 65 pitches In Rocky Mountain National Park

Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold teamed up once again for a huge 40-kilometre 36.5-hour linkup of mountains in Rocky Mountain National Park from Mount Meeker to Mount Notchtop. They dubbed it the Continental Divide Ultimate Linkup or CDUL which is pronounced “cuddle.”
They logged over 20,000 vertical feet in 65 pitches in 11 routes. Their support team included Adam Stack and Maury Birdwell. Honnold and Caldwell missed a stash which left them cold at night and their headlamp batteries died, forcing them to jam a phone in their hats so they could see.
Despite taking a few weeks to prepare and being in top shape, Caldwell vomited after the long night out. The siuml-climbing nearly all of the technical pitches.
The routes and peaks they climbed in order: Flying Buttress 5.9 on Meeker, Casual Route 5.10 on Longs Peak, Pagoda, The Barb 5.10 on Spearhead, Birds of Fire 5.11- on Chiefshead, Central Ramp 5.8 on Mount Alice, Arrowplane 5.11 on Arrowhead, McHenry, Powell, Taylor, The Petit 5.8, Southwest Corner 5.10 on Spearhead, Sharkstooth 5.6, Otis, The Culp/Bossier 5.8 on Hallet Peak, Flattop, Ptarmigan and The Cool Crack 5.9 on Notchtop.
In February 2014, they made the first ascent of the Fitzroy Traverse in Patagonia, a five-kilometre route. They also have the current speed record up The Nose on El Cap at 1:58:07.
