Video: The Race for the Nose of El Capitan

Posted on the 07 April 2020 by Kungfujedi @Kungfujedi

We're reaching back into the archives once again for this video, which was released a few years back. It includes interviews and highlights from a number of well-known and well-respected rock climbers, who share their perspectives on the race to set a speed record on El Capitan. Some of the perspectives are a bit dated at this point, as the current speed record - held by Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell -seemed impossible when this video was made. Still, there is a lot of great scenery, some fantastic climbing, and an intriguing look at the history of climbing on El Capitan that still makes it worth a look.
