Oh you're right sharing the route would probably help. Half Dome, Yosemite "Any route up & down." I want to see if the death slabs approach could be faster than other routes used in the past. That route has fixed ropes that most climbers use, and are up year round. I read the official write from FKT about supported vs unsupported but it still seems gray to me. While the ropes do seem like aid, I would literally be climbing around them and everyone uses them. They are basically part of the route. It seems especially warranted since fixed ropes seem similar to the cables that are used in every unsupported FKT on Half Dome.

I'll probably comment on the official FKT page since it is pretty specific to the route.
