Below is the first in a four-part series about Sonnie Trotter and Alex Honnold making the first one-day ascent of Logical Progression, a 28-pitch 5.13a route on El Gigante in Mexico's Basaseachi National Park. To read Sonnie’s essay about the climb, as well as see photos from Andrew Burr (who was along to do the driving and documenting), click here.

Basaseachi looks amazing. I can't wait to see the other 3 parts. Thanks a lot for continuously putting up great videos and keeping me psyched. It's difficult in Houston. I need to get the hell out of here!
