El Capitan, Yosemite National Park – On June 4, 2018, Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell set a new speed record on The Nose on El Capitan in Yosemite National Park with a blazing speed of 2 hours, 1 minute, 50 seconds!

It’s wild that this climbing duo set the speed record twice in a week! On May 30, 2018, Honnold and Caldwell beat the old speed record with a time of 2 hours, 10 minutes, 15 seconds!

Prior to Honnold and Caldwell’s week of crushing,the previous record set in October 2017 by Brad Gobright and Jim Reynolds who sent The Nose in 2 hours, 19 minutes, and 44 seconds. Learn more about this previous record in the film Two Nineteen Forty Four.
