YOU can climb The NOSE!

You can still read about what happened when we broke the record in July.

LATEST UPDATE

October 12: We did it! 2:37:05. New Record! Thanks to the four parties that let us go by. Especially Hanah and Hilde and also Paul, Travis, John, Polish party and everyone else and our loving wives.

PREVIOUS UPDATES

October 8: 2:48:23. We were 6 minutes faster than our record run from July 2nd when we made it to Dolt Tower in 48 minutes! Somehow a few tiny rope snags and roughness on the top half cost us some 11 minutes. Looks like all the marbles are in Sunday's basket.

October 5: Yuji and Hans climbed the Nose in 3:38 Sunday afternoon, passing five parties and topping out under headlamp. Yuji's foot is healing nicely from his fall early last week. Big Thank you to Dr Jeffrey of Modesto for working on Yuji, and creating faster healing Sunday morning. We are optimistic about a record run on Wednesday the 8th and Sunday the 12th.

October 2nd: Yuji is headed into the Bay Area to do a little gym climbing with Hans while giving his ankle a little rest. He was walking normally today. No noticeable limp.

October 1st: CRASH! Yuji takes a 20 meter fall on "FreeStone" and bruises his heel. Xray reveals no breaks or fractures. Holding pattern.......

September 29th: Yuji and Hans climb the Nose in 4:07

September 26th: Yuji and Steve Schneider climb up the Nose in around 7 hours.

September 20 and 21: Yuji and Hans go to Utah High Adventure Mountain Film Festival and accept LifeClimb Achievement Award.

September 18th: Yuji arrives from Japan.

If you see him in person, ask Hans about this.

Hans would like to THANK:

Hans' top secret, elite athlete recovery training.
