Chris McNamara TRAVERSED the Girdle of El Capitain! his description is following, ( I don't quite get it, but it's an amazing effort, I think): "we did the route in one 12 hour push, one 2.5 day stretch w/bivy and one 16 hour push over 4.5 consecutive days"
Jimmy Haden and partner Sean "stanley" from Mammoth climbed Sentinel Twice in the July of 1998, IN A DAY. Via the Chounard Herbert and the Steck Salathe routes! The first time Sentinel has been done twice in a day, that I know of!
"Tod The Eater" ran up the back side of Half Dome round trip to Happy Isles bridge in 3 hrs and 37 minutes, WITH OUT WATER! Steve Edwards attempted this also, but his feeble body cramped up from the "h2o-less torture" and had to accept water from passer bys, then ended up helping an injured hiker out, which severly hampered his roundtrip time, but he remains a samaritan.J (Warren Harding did this "sans h2o" in the 60's in 3 hrs and 50 mins, that's what motivated Tod and Steve's torture adventure)
