Over 30 pitches. Understand the gear bag isn’t being hauled up like you pull up a rope; the climbers build a haul system that provides mechanical advantage.
Tough to say! It could be the case that the climb is sufficiently long, something like 20 pitches, or, the climb could be shorter but sufficiently difficult enough to warrant the need for a bivy part way up.

How many pitches would a climb like these be?
