The HEX 3-Nov-2005 6:14:29 AM	---------------------------------------------- '...Chris McNamara has posted an excellent first-hand account of the climb at http://www.supertopo.com/climbing/thread.html?topic_id=114312&f=0&b=0, from which some details in this report were drawn. According to a close friend, Caldwell has been dreaming of this linkup for months and has been training specifically with its massive endurance requirements in mind, ever since he recovered from a broken wrist suffered in a ground fall at Indian Creek in March. First, however, there was the small matter of free-climbing the Nose, which he and Rodden accomplished in mid-October. A couple of days after his one-day free ascent of the Nose, Caldwell quietly returned to El Cap and did Freerider in preparation for the linkup. In all, the Nose-Freerider combination has 65 pitches, or approximately 6,000 feet, of free climbing, including nine pitches of 5.12, one of 5.13 and one 5.14a, plus dozens of burly 5.10 and 5.11 pitches...' Lamplighter&Muldoon in a day ? ... pft !!! ------------------------------------------

Bob Saki 3-Nov-2005 11:55:44 AM	i would like to be the first person to complete a successful top rope flash of El cap? 2km's of rope should be enough?????

Except for full value you would have to chuck 9 laps on Have a Good Flight, a lap on India, a lap on Punks and probably more than a few laps of the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Hell, just *jumaring* that distance in a day is impressive! Caldwell would have to be the most talented all-round climber in the world today. Awesome stuff.
