Training for a Speed Ascent of the Nose

Alex and Uli speed climbing The Nose on 5.20.10 from Chris Falkenstein on Vimeo.



Uli Steck and Alex Honnold are in Yosemite Valley training for a speed scent of the Nose. They are hoping to break Hans Florine and Yurji Hirayama's record of 2:37:05. This short video, shot with a big zoom lens from El Cap meadows, shows the two climbers getting ready for the "King Swing." (As always you may access the video on vimeo and see it in a larger format.)
