A video of Ben Harden's ascent recently went up. Apparently, Harden found a hold that Chris Sharma did not use in his first ascent. For those in the know please comment.

Ben used a slightly different sequence getting up the 12d slab section. No change in overall difficulty. If anything Ben's way is a bit harder than the way Chris did it.

Yeah. He made the big move at the end (which Sharma deadpoints) look almost static.
