Hans Florine and Alex Honnold set a new speed record on The Nose route of El Capitan.

When I read the title I knew it had to be Honnold. That kid isn't human.

It's amazing what those guys can do!
Regular people could train their entire lives and not come close to that!
I guess that could be said about most "professional" athletes! Very impressive!

I think I read somewhere that Florine said because they swapped lead halfway up, Honnold started after him and finished before him, so his time was something like 2 hours 15.

Wow, super cool. Hans runs the rock gym across the street from my work, he's actually come in a few times for carabiners, super nice guy. I had no idea he was THAT good.
