Wow! That was, perhaps, the coolest climbing video I've ever seen!

Wow. How long does it take those cavers to jug their annual fixed line?

I think Hans Florine talks about the cavers in his Enormocast episode... I believe he says their fastest guy takes about 45 minutes?

Insanity. I don't think anyone except Tommy and Alex can truly comprehend what 1:58 means. Just for giggles, the fastest marathon ever ran (unconfirmed however) is 2 hours 25 seconds. Apples to oranges, but very mind-altering to think about. Very proud work, pushing human limits of what is possible.

I love racing. Two wheels for me but, I get the psyche these guys are after.
It's a harry pursuit but, it really is better to live to the fullest while you can.
We're all on borrowed time.

^^ Yeah that picture is insanely good. Instagram just says Reel Rock but I think that's a Corey Rich photo.
The way the huge loop of slack from Alex perfectly frames Tommy is wild. Not to mention a great display of the techniques used to make this time possible.

Thanks for giving the well deserved credit. Corey took a similar photo but it must have been a different run, different lighting.
