David Yount Posted July 22, 2007 Posted July 22, 2007 13 hours car to car is the fastest time i've found on cc.com rc.com st.com, but i didn't wade thru all posts with infinite bliss in the subject or body.... mostly just trip reports.... seems like a solid time, and has anybody a faster time to share??

olyclimber Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I suggest you read *all* the posts about infinite bliss. i think i read about a much faster time than that! Quote
murraysovereign Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Yeah, but how many of those ascents have been verified by independent observers? What we need is some sort of organisation that could establish rules for speed climbing, and maybe a central website that could list all the speed climbing records, with maybe a forum so people could discuss the merits and qualifications of all the various speed climbers and their fastest ascents and stuff like that. It'd be great - anyone want to set that up? Quote
Bill_Simpkins Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 About 1/1000 of climbs done are actually posted on websites. People send routes everyday probably breaking speed records and probably never discuss it. Why? Because they don't care. Quote
Jens Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 Don't quote me on this but I think it has gone in under 60 minutes from base to top (not counting approach or descent). ---------------------------- Anyone seen the footage of the Late Dan Osaman climbing that route in California that is hundreds of feet (500?) long in only a few minutes? It is on youtube. Quote
olyclimber Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 i broke a few speed records/limits just the other day. I'm not going to post about it though. Quote

layton Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 you need to rethink your life if this is a question that you feel needs attention. Quote

tradclimbguy Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 It was 43 minutes I believe bottom to top with a short gym rope. They simul climbed the entire thing and slogged down the back side. I'd have to ask my buddy again if that was his time, but I'm pretty sure it was. Quote
kevbone Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 43 minutes is unbelievable….so what was their time from car to car, which is what the original post was asking about. Quote

David Yount Posted July 23, 2007 Author Posted July 23, 2007 13 hours car to car was the fastest time I read, and I only read threads that were titled as a trip report, or similar. I figured if a team had intent to share their ascent then they would likely begin a new thread. Just curious. Buddy of mine tried to get me to join him several years ago.... for a speed attempt. I declined. Just curious what kind of car to car time has been earned? Quote

G-spotter Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I think you are more likely to get pwned than earned by this route. Quote

archenemy Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I'd think men would learn that bragging about how fast they get done with something that most of us consider enjoyable at a more leisurely pace is unattractive. Quote
lI1|1! Posted July 23, 2007 Posted July 23, 2007 I'd think men would learn that bragging about how fast they get done with something that most of us consider enjoyable at a more leisurely pace is unattractive. and another thing - posting GPS tracks to prove you boffed some chick is TOTALLY OUT.

hawkeye69 Posted July 24, 2007 Posted July 24, 2007 I'd think men would learn that bragging about how fast they get done with something that most of us consider enjoyable at a more leisurely pace is unattractive. what about laps? or multiple "routes"? surely there is some credit for that stuff.
