Longest Sport Climbs?

You know how this works, right? I was following some links around the 'net - don't even remember where I started  (Oh yeah, I started on my keyboard.) - and came across this:

"El Potrero Chico (the "little corral") is a sport-climbing paradise, with limestone similar to Thailand and routes up to 20 pitches in length."

20 pitches of a bolted sport route? Sure enough, here it is:

"Time Wave Zero is one of the longest routes at El Potrero Chico. The route is about 2,300 feet and is listed as 23 pitches in the guidebook, although it is possible to climb the route in as few as 13 pitches with a 60m cord."

Looks like winter is the time to go. Fun, huh?
