Huber Brothers race up the Nose to a New Record - and then do it again! - speedclimb.com

The Huber Brothers ran up The Nose again.  It took them 2 hours 48 minutes and 35 seconds! 

Yes that is the fastest time to date, by anyone!

For those who are detail oriented, in 2002 Yuji Hirayama and I climbed the route to the finishing bolts on the route in 2:48:30, we then continued on to the finishing tree to stop the time at 2:48:55. The Huber's time is to the tree! So they do have the record!

Alexander wrote me that they would try to improve on the time today, Monday. And possibly again on Friday.
