I couldn't find this on the forum except in the El Cap Reports. I thought this deserved it's own thread...

I love it:

"The whole thing was so great," Sauter says. "But watching Chantal lead up the section to the Boot by headlamp with a nearly full moon lighting up her and center buttress of El Cap with big fluffy clouds floating by was truly beautiful."

What?
They had time to contemplate the night sky?
Slackers. If they pay closer attention they'll break 10 hours.

Just kidding
WELL done ladies!

Congratulations! Very impressive and almost incomprehensible
to those of us few women who first climbed in the Valley 50 years ago.

Chantal was the gal that soloed Mescalito last year, right? She kicks ass, in a major way.
WooT!

Twenty minutes per pitch - enough time to place a few extra pieces. Darn fast in my book!!

You bet it deserves it's own thread!
And I agree with Jan's comment: for men too!
Stellar job, ladies!

I was fortunate in meeting Libby S. in YV a few weeks ago on a lightning visit to ;the place. She deprecated her achieving the women's Nose record by saying there was no real comparison to be made with the men's record. This was the Saturday which Alex H. and Tommy C. were out and about on Watkins HD and EC. I asked her specifically did she run as part of her training. She laughed and said what training?
If you see this, hello from Merced, Libby. Tom, cheers. Thanks for breakfast.
