Behind the scenes of the REEL ROCK film, The Nose Speed Record
Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold get candid about climbing El Capitan's Nose.
On June 6, 2018, Tommy Caldwell and Alex Honnold set the sub-two-hour speed record on the 3,000-foot Nose of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park. The duo took the title from Brad Gobright and Jim Reynolds, who set it at just under 2:20. The rivalry is captured in the hour-long film, The Nose Speed Record, debuting during this year's REEL ROCK 14 Film Festival.
This behind-the-scenes footage—shot from May to June 2018 by Brett Lowell, Austin Siadak, and Sam Crossley—got inside the minds of Honnold and Caldwell as they pushed for the record.
