Climbers Reclaim World Record On El Capitan

Two men hauled themselves up to the nose of El Capitan in Yosemite
National Park in 2 hours and 43 minutes Wednesday, setting a world

Hans Florine, 44, and his climbing partner, Yuji Hirayama, 39, beat the record by a nail-biting two minutes.

climb El Capitan. It took him 47 days of repeated assaults, but he
finally made it.
