Behind the scenes of the REEL ROCK film, The Nose Speed Record
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.
