New Speed Record on The Naked Edge
|
Jason and I had another go at it last night and went bridge-to-bridge in 26m33s. About 6 minites of red lining it to the base of P1, just under 15 minutes for the route, and 6 more to scramble/run back down to the middle of the bridge. Dang, that is so much fun!! |
|
Yawn |
|
You should drag me up The Naked Edge. It will be a bit longer than 30 minutes though. |
|
Whats the record climbing it naked? |
|
Blazing. Cheers gentlemen, amazing! |
|
Oh yeah! I personally timed Scott and Brad for a 26m16s time this evening. Killer! I think they would've been even faster if it wasn't for the 6:50pm start which left them doing the entire thing in fading light. So hard to believe how less than a year ago 44 minutes was ridiculously fast, and that's been improved upon by almost 50%. Good times! |
|
Woooo hot doggy!! 26m 16s is ON FIRE! |
|
Scott and I just set a faster time at 24 minutes and 57 seconds. Stoked! |
|
Just mind boggling. I can't even get to the bottom of pitch 1 sub 25 minutes. |
|
not bad. But I just made minute rice in 47 seconds flat! Boo yah! |
|
Tonight was the second time I got to see this record lowered. I saw the 44 min. Ascent last year and now sub 25 tonight! Awesome, I wonder how close to an unbreakable time these guys are getting? What's the athletic limit? 23 min? Is sub 20 possible by the right athletes? |

I think a sub 20 could go down solo but they(honnold) would have to be sprinting the whole time. |
|
Not to be a dick, but I'm about to be a bit of a dick... |

Seriously though, are you and Brad so out of challenges in the area that doing the edge faster than I can find my keys is all that's left? Could you eat 69 hotdogs in the parking lot, do the route in 24 minutes, then get a perfect score on guitar hero on top? |

Your legs are unimpressive, "nice legs " , that being said those vids are impressive POGO DANCER in the YO-YO vid wow / whoa |

I have zero interest in speed climbing, and find it to be the antithesis of my climbing style. |

Basically the same or less gear than a light and fast or speed ascent and all the speed of a triple set of hexes, tied runners, a first aid kit, and boots in the backpack. You end up on the route all day, without close to enough pro, and no water. It's glorious. |
