...I don't have a preference. It's called The Direct Line, but it was known as the Platinum Wall before it was ever established, for the simple explanation that I was up there a long, long time. So, in the sense we don't get to choose our nicknames, mine being Platinum...

The longest free route on El Capitan. 75% independent of other routes, incorporates some climbing from Turning Point, Grape Race, Triple Direct (E9), and preMuir (E8). Worked on by Rob Miller, Elliot Faber and other partners between 2010 and 2017. Successful ascent by Miller and Roby Rudolf in October 2017.
