Awesome! Congrats again to two wonderful gals.
Thanks for the update Largo. I heard they were going for it again. Had hoped to hear the news.
Saw you in the meadow talking with them about a week ago but I had to go so I didn't say hello.

Way to go Libby and Mayan! I cannot imagine what it takes to accomplish what you two have on the Nose . . . Warren, Mark, Bill, Wayne, George and Rich are proud of you both! You should both be very proud of yourselves for this historic effort.
The dudes listed above were the participants in the Nose first ascent process.

They probably had it to themselves with the big storm coming. Wait.....they are the big storm!
Get this; I was watching Mayan's video of climbing the Salathe headwall on Vimeo and it stopped at 4:43 and I went to Supertopo and saw Largo's new post about the 4:43 record. I did not notice the video time until I went back to it. Too Weird! Coincidence of the day! What more could a person ask for!
OK, it happened again.....the video stopped at 5:02. They must have it programmed to do that now......

Congratulations to these two strong women. Super impressive.
Is it also the only 5.14 wall route that more women then men have free climbed?
