There's only one point of view for doing the NIAD that I can take with authority and that is if your jugger isn't in good enought shape to clean all 34 of her pitches in around 15 minutes or less (ideally less so that you have a better fuck-up cushion) depending upon their complexity w/ the food, water, and jackets for the team on her back (and the bail line if you're not sure of yourself), then having a really speedy leader won't matter a bit. There just aren't many leaders that will be just as fast or who will make due as well with the 'light rack' on 5.10 or harder free climbing on a self belay as they will be with someone else belaying them, so minimizing the self-belay time will keep the whole team moving a lot faster. It's probably quicker/easier to train to make up time by getting in better jugging shape than it is to all of the sudden be able to climb a few letter grades harder non-stop, all day.
