Reported on Supertopo thread (http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.php?topic_id=1855399&tn=60) Alex Honnold and old man Hans Florine have just smashed the Nose record in 2:23:51 beating Potter's time by nearly 13 minutes.

Shit, that's amazing.

:agree: :o

Incredible. I love that kinda shit.
On a side note and a very small one... when's someone going to man up/man down and beat the Staffordshire Nose time? Surely, this is the time with inspiration running high.
Andi T, get on it. :)

:clap2: Brilliant.
Can't be long before Honnold does the Nose In An Hour.
-
Impressive especially considering it's their first real go at it. Florine must be absolutely delighted.

OTOH It would surprise me if he did not free solo that part when he did the triple-crown thing last week.
