I was trying to amass a list of folk who have done El Capitan free in a day. I think that there's an old forum post about it but I can't seem to find it. I remember there being about 20+ people who have done it but does anyone know who is on it. I made a list.
Do you know who has freed el cap in a day? Here’s the list I have...

Lynn Hill
Steph Davis-
Mayan Smith Gobat
Niels from YOSAR
Rob Miller
Dean Potter
Sean Leary
Leo Houlding
Dan McManus
Pete Whittaker
Tommy Caldwell
Jake Whittaker
Jesse Huey
Alex Honnold
Brad Gobright
Yuji Hiriyama
Sonnie Trotter
James Lucas
Cedar Wright
Cody Sims

After 25 years, Lynn’s is still among the most impressive on the list even by today’s standards.

Respect and gratitude for that kind of inspiration!

Ha, ha Werner. I was thinking of meeting Son John at the top and maybe hang over and get some dramatic photos of the last pitch of Tempest he was climbing. Halfway up the Fall's Trail I realized it was going to take me at least two days...
