Around 20' per minute is clearly pretty damn fast, but remember, Dan Osman climbed lovers leap, >400' of similar climbing in just over 4 minutes, almost 100' per minute....without ropes or assistance. I wonder what his record would have been on the nose.

Alex Honnold beat Dan Osmans lovers leap record (free solo) and these guys beat Alex Honnolds record (speed climbing).

Wow. That's nuts...I didn't know Dan's time had been beaten....and by a guy with awesome hair too!

I gather all those folks along the way were support crew? Not other climbers that these two just yelled "Later, bitches!" and they zoomed on by?

Pretty sure they were other climbers. They defiantly look like other climbers. Don't think you can have support crews and claim a record like this.

Its possible a few were planted for documentary purposes. If you watch Honnolds videos you will see he has at least 2 or 3 camera guys planted on the faces he climbs. The majority are other climbers. You can see the two blow throw many camps on the way up.

Also 11 failed attempts?! These guys know every hand hold on the way up.

The difficulty of each climb are vastly different. Lover's leap is easy difficulty, never any danger of falling for skilled climbers. The Nose is usually aided, or placing gear in cracks to hold body weight directly for the incredibly hard parts. This is much slower. Comparing feet per minute doesn't make any sense, even between two similar climbs.

I can't imagine parking on a climb like that to sleep so I can keep the climb going...

Looks like a pretty sweet camp site:

Wow.

I've done a bit of ski mountaineering so heights generally don't spook me, but that freaks me out. For the love of god, hold onto something!
