Sub 2 hour Nose! When @alexhonnold and @tommycaldwell team up, they’re unstoppable. This morning on El Capitan these superheroes clocked a time of 1:58:07! In this outrageous @austin_siadak image, the techniques used to climb so fast are apparent — it’s not your average day at the crag. Stay tuned for the full story in an upcoming REEL ROCK film. @thenorthface @blackdiamond @yeti @gopro
