Mayan and Libby attempting Nose speed record

Why is there reference on this this thread to 2:36:45 being the record for climbing the Nose? The actual record is 2:23:46 set by Honnold and Florine in 2012. Which reminds me of my Chockstone bet with Singer Smith that no team will break two hours for climbing the Nose in the next 20 years. Given that we are two years into the bet and no team has yet beaten the current record, I reckon two hours is looking a long way off.

I can taste those beers already Singer!

And great effort by Mayan and Libby. I suspect they will be keen to return sometime in the near future to try and break 5 hours.

If he sets them aside for you, they will either be well fermented, or quite flat, by then.
Either way, they will still likely be collectors items!

I wouldn't bet that the 2 hour marathon will be broken in 20 years, and that is only minutes away from the current WR.

"Smith-Gobat: I believe that women are not far behind in climbing and that we could be measured on the same yardstick, but our bodies do have definite physical differences... In general, women do have to work much harder to gain muscle mass and power than men. I believe that by having separate categories, women are much more likely to be motivated to participate, compete or achieve a "women's record" as they know that they have a much greater chance of being recognized than if there were no separation.... Maybe at some point this could change, but at this stage I believe that having this separation is a good thing."

I would love to be able to climb like either Mayan or Libby. They're pretty rad in my book.

While on that point, I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany...

Yeh in 18 years 20 smackers will barely get you a butcher. Not that they'd have such archaic measures in those sophisticated times.

It wasn't broken in the original post, just the reply. Chockstone automagically wraps at 80 characters or something when you quote a post and that breaks links in the reply.
