Hats off the the mighty Hubers there. They are the man.

[RuMR]

Off the hook would be by "15 minutes"!

No Kevbone. Climbing the Nose in 2:48:35 is off the hook.

Hell…..just climbing the nose at all is off the hook for me.

The Hubers are going to give it another go on Moday, weather permitting. My guess is they will do a lot better, since they had some glitches that should be ironed out.

[plexus]

Do their shoes even touch the rock going that fast?!

[EWolfe]

Tommorow morning (Tuesday).

 

Go get it!!!

[Raindawg]

I'd be more impressed if they did it with a pair of underwear over their heads.

 

 

And they better get moving because these guys are lining up at the base!

 

 

[wayne]

So much for the photo finish. They just crushed it by over 3 minutes!

[EWolfe]

Congrats to the Hubers, that should dispel any anchor-or-tree quibbling.

 

You just know Hollywood Hans will be back.

 

Battle Royale!

Now who is the one making the “knee jerking” comments?

Hey Jack-Donkey....it's my opinion, I'm entitled to it....it's not the same as spewing out some idiotic cliché STATED AS A FACT like "all politicians are dishonest".

 

In fact, I'm making a point here that such stunts on The Cap'n can be viewed as circus-like, as Everest has become. How about some blind-folds next time? Maybe climb Da Nose in boxing gloves and roller skates. Me? I'd like to see them German guys climbing with underwear over there heads...it would be an EXCITING NEW RECORD! and they wouldn't even have to go particularly fast.

But,......

I thought all politicians WERE dishonest.

Now I'm really confused.

Yosemite is a circus. I agree. They should dismantle some of those attractions to thin out the crowds.

Maybe take Everest down a couple hundred feet with a bomb so it isn't the highest mnt anymore.

Circus Scmircus. Life sucks. just kill yourself.

Or get over it. Other people are having fun.

I'm not tossing my autographed Hans Florine 'Nose Speed Record' poster.

Climbing El Cap in under 3 hours is circus like? Wow……I did not think you could be so naive.

 

And “all politicians are dishonest”…..all of them….every last one of them…..get it?

I'm sure the Huber bros really care about your opinion Raindawg. I know most of the board was very curious as to what you thought about their feat. We are lucky to have you here giving out your opinion so freely!

Concur: it really sounds like sour grapes to me. Just cause you can't do it in 5 days Raindawg isn't a reason to shit on someone else trying and then achieving a fast time.

 

Although it isn't the reason I climb, I like to get good times up long routes myself, for me though - and know that I couldn't touch that time with a 20 foot pole and a helicopter, which makes it all the more amazing to me.

Someone should rename dwanyner to sourpuss the lemon sucker...

I'm sure they don't nor do I care if they do. If you don't want opinions, why do you even have this site? Would you prefer that we all agree on everything like good little stormtroopers? I offered an alternate opinion and you don't like it.

Hey Dr. Phil Jr, amateur psychoanalyst...keep your day job.

Read the above regarding alternate opinions.

P.S. You don't know what you're talking about.

 

[olyclimber]

How do you know if I liked your opinion or not? Maybe I did, maybe I didn't. I was paying you a compliment, sourpuss. I value your input.
