Watch The Nose Speed Record Climb Clip

Watch a clip by Tristan Greszko of Brad Gobright and Jim Reynolds making the King Swing on The Nose.

The two strong climbers recently set a new speed record for the route of two hours, nineteen minutes and 44 seconds. They bested the 2012 record by four minutes.

A couple cool shots taken by @christian_cattell of @chimney_jim and I on the last hundred feet of the Nose. We got the speed record yesterday at 2:19:44! In this final section our stoke was high as we knew we had it in the bag! Maybe the hardest physical thing I've ever done. @gramicci

In an interview with Planetmountain.com, Reynold said, “I think we were four minutes faster because we are both dedicated young climbers with a ton of Yosemite experience.

Nose speed climbing suited each of us well and we put in a lot of time and energy to learn the intricacies of the mountain. El Cap speed climbing in taxing physically and psychologically, but we were patient and determined.”
