yes congratulations - obviously top climbers and it meant a lot to them but speed climbing per se leaves me cold

I got overtaken 4 times on the Nose in September by those doing the route at speed (one team did the Regular route on half dome in the morning). It was very interesting to watch the techniques in doing such a route in <12hr. They were not moving their limbs faster than I might on a v.diff, but their rope work was totally mind blowing, and they never stopped. There was no rush. Doing it in 5hr would be different, and doing it in 2:30 insane.
