Two-Man Team Speed Climbs P.O. Wall (formerly A5) in 33 hours

"I just climbed the PO wall (Pacific Ocean Wall on El Capitan) May 25th, with Ivo Ninov. I think this was the second push and first two man team to speed climb the route. We did it in 33:02."

El Cap / Half Dome Link-up!

Peter Coward and Hans Florine climbed The Nose and the Regular route on HD in 23 hours and 40 minutes CTC on May 19th. The number of people who have done this is still a pretty small group. Hans has now done it at least three times, once solo in a time faster than this!
