Climbing the Nose of El Cap in 8 hours (NIAD) 

Congrats! I’m the first guy y’all passed in the stovelegs, thought you were moving fast! We finished 2 days later :)

"I wanna see how you lead this wide section." "Oh, I pull on gear." That's a freaking mood lmao

wow, with the record sub 2 hr, I don't think people realize how respectable an 8 hr ascent is. I did it in 17 hrs and was proud (and tired). Great job!!!

Man, I'm looking at how fast you guys are going, then I'm trying to imagine Tommy and Alex going more than 4x faster, and it's breaking my brain.

Holy shit, man. I just came across your channel and commented on your vid of Serenity Crack and even threw in some advice on that. Lol, you obviously don't need my advice. Pretty impressive climbing career already, young man.

10:30 -"How long have you been working the route" -"Like for the push only"

The real definition of trusting your gear with your life.

shouts out khruangbin after camp 6

Most people will never ascend El Cap, much less in 8 hours. Nice work!

The guy in the pink pants that was only working the route on his push, yeah, that guy is the 7th person in the world to free the route, and the only one to do it ground-up with no pre sequencing on top rope.

Nice job! My security conscious brain was triggered when seeing no leash to your aiders on the bolt ladder and the quick "whoops, bad clip, reclip.." Dropping one would be a PITA :)

Khruangbin! the perfect vibe

Nice work! Cool to see such dialed systems in a video of the nose.

4:48 this is freaking terrifying. Holy sh*%balls! Is this the boot flake that Tommy and Alex were talking about an experienced climber tumbling down the back side before their speed run record? If so, that would be a gnarly fall indeed. Also, that giant granite flake is experiencing a pretty hefty moment when a person is stemming on it to ascent. I'd estimate there's only roughly 300 pounds of force exerted by the climber. However, multiply that times the distance of the moment arm (looks like around 15 ft) to where the flake is attached to the mountain--that's roughly 4 500 ft-lb of torque on that flake. And that's not even taking into account the moment it's experiencing from the force of gravity upon itself leaning at that interesting 15 degree angle. In short, that flake is going to have an epic pop-off one day.

Oh man, the handjam sections look glorious! Well done, must have been so fun!

Pulling on those cams was badasssss…insanely dangerous, but badasss

For us, "Climbing the Nose of El Cap in 106 hours (NIAFD)"... Nose In Almost Five Days. Well done.

Is this the fastest time by anyone wearing a head camera? I think it might be.

Absolutely epic!! The Nose would be the pinnacle of my climbing pursuits!! Can you give me some beta on the king swing pitches? After both climbers reach the top of boot flake, you ran your rope thru the rings and the leader gets lowered down to swing over. I get that. After you anchor in, do you lower your second and they swing over also, then once anchored in, the 2nd unties and pulls the rope? (Seems like a big rope stretcher! Or do you use two ropes tied together?) OR! Does the 2nd aid climb out on the bolt ladder after texas flake, wait for the leader to top boot flake, run the rope thru, then lowers him down and both swing over? I'm just trying to piece together the logistics of the king swing. That's the few pitches I'm scratching my head on. Thanks Tyler! Fucking epic send man!

Looks like y’all know what you’re doin. My buddies and I have recently wanted to try and pick up bouldering, what would be good safety equipment to invest into

Thats funny...did i see this right? you guys met Sébastien Berthe on his free ascent as the 7th person in the world.

cheers from red river gorge, kentucky, fellas!

Looks like the exact opposite of fun

wished I could of seen the great roof...nice job guys

Going fast is a recipe for mistakes. Not a good plan Stan.

this is so sick, I want to climb Freerider/Slathe in the next decade...

Nice work man!

RaaaaaaaaaaDDD!

Tyler in this case you used gloves?

Just recently found this channel, but I'm hooked. Your videos are sweet. Also saw that you were using totems pretty often, which sizes do you find most useful? I'm looking at buying a couple, but I don't think I'm ready to drop the money on a whole single rack of them.

Now how legit is this? I'm new to climbing and have only done indoor. But i see tons of tool useage, using equipment to ascend, ropes to access horizontal areas, etc (I'm guessing you skipped over higher skill areas)? Did you both climb every section in your range? Also the part with your ass on the rock and your legs on the other wall, it looked like if you had fallen you weren't tethered to anything.

reasons why you might not want to speed climb......the tragedy of cam aiding on the stovelegs, the best free pitch of the worlds best rock climb. ;)

Crushed it, solid work!

fuck yeah

nice work boys!

what is this climbing style called, I see him using those anchors as handles for climbing instead of using his hands

I've spent so much time trying to understand how the systems work of just free climbing big walls that this almost makes zero sense to me. It's almost as confusing as rope soloing.

Khruangbin 😍

Couldn't tell what you were using to self belay with. Grigri, PDL, something else?

Props to all you guys, amazing. Folk joke but these kind of vids really are good motivation tools for all us sleepy heads say on our beds

Wow great close up authentic action Amazing. It looks so different from the nose speed doco with tommy and alex I really liked this.

Some four pitch routes have taken me longer than eight hours to complete. This whole video I feel your stoak!

There seems to be quite a few bolts on the nose. Pretty soon it’ll have a handicapped route.

TYLER! WAS THAT MR.HEAVENLY I HEARD YOU PLAYING?

please put the camera on the belayer, so nauseating

Proud ascent! A relief to see that gear clipped at 5:52

did you run out some sections and use the short roping technique ?

All your videos are sick and I applaud the patience you have for editing. Quick question if ya don't mind, You have any good recommendations for climbing pants?

You speed climbers feckin scare me.

"I pull on gear" best answer ever

Amazing job. Now i expect you to cut that time in half...

Great video and blistering niad. Curious what was your split to Sickle Ledge? Those first four pitches can be pretty tedious.

Awesome ascent. Superb time and nice nice video!!!

Way to kill it guys. Finding the right partner for something like that makes all the difference. 8 hours rocks

Seems easy enough...

What pastry was that?

For real question: Is pulling on gear kosher? Like, could someone make an argument like: "Oh he pulled gear up the route so I wound't call it a clean climb" What's the ethics in this? Does it count? Etc. Just curious. Thanks

Great Video! I really enjoyed seeing what is was like on the wall!

This is friggin amazing stuff

just came across this. looked like a good time! question: how do you like using the revo for self-belaying? i've heard horror stories about it jamming horribly after catching a fall. have you found that to be the case?

Wow 🤩 amazing job well done

Good job Chris

Rad video... and good videos in general !

style!!

Is this considered aid climbing?

Who makes the two-pronged adjustable daisy that you guys are using? I've been looking at the Petzl Dual Connect Adjust but one of the arms on that is fixed.

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Isn’t it cheating using cams to climb?

what is NIAD?

Didnt alex free solo the whole thing in 2 hours

Sweeeeeeeeeet!!

Are those bolts always left in the wall for others to use?

Very impressive. Nice work!

How does one trust a rope this much I probably wont ever understand fully :) But so awesome to see this footage!

Alex Honnold says hold my beer...

Cheat codes were used

This must be the first wobble zoom, random pan, vomit inducing Blairwitch video of this obscure and little known route. 🎉

I never understand people who take music to one of the most pristine places on the planet. So fucking weird.
