I think you are just more honest that other members of this forum. I already posted a video from Crystal Crag where I passed roped climbers traversing a class 3-4 ridge. In this video I met a team which roped up for a class 4 traverse from Cathedral summit to West face:

Probably? I free-soloed a 5.6.

Especially Michael minaret. I suspect that nobody ever did it as a dayhike. Especially the route suggested by Bob: free soloing the Amphitheater chute and descending Starrs chute. He definitely did not do it himself. In reality he did it as a multi-day hike. Ascended Amphitheater chute using a rope and rappelled down the same chute.

I certainly do not go to the mountains to suffer. In addition if you are so tired that you are suffering - it is also dangerous.
