A Lifelong Obsession with Yosemite’s Most Iconic Climb<\/p>\n
Hans Florine is a big-wall climbing legend in his own time. He holds the speed
\nrecord on the Nose route of El Capitan, a 3,000-foot granite cliff in Yosemite
\nValley that’s considered the Everest of the rock-climbing world. Ascending the
\nNose takes most climbers anywhere from 12 to 96 hours. Florine, along with
\nclimbing partner Alex Honnold, does it in an astounding 2.5 hours.<\/p>\n
But Florine’s story is not one of super-human athletic prowess; it’s one of
\npersistence and dogged determination. In 30 years of climbing, he’s ascended
\nthe Nose a mind-blowing, death-defying 100 times, more than anyone else ever
\nhas, and most likely ever will. In On the Nose, Florine describes the most
\ndangerous, pivotal, and inspirational of those climbs, providing a rare look
\ninside the adrenaline-charged world of competitive climbing in Yosemite
\nValley.<\/p>\n
He tells of his very first attempt on the Nose, which ended in failure after
\n14 hours, his friendships (and rivalries) with climbing’s most colorful
\npersonalities, and his battle with Dean Potter to secure the definitive speed
\nrecord on the Nose – an endeavor that’s been called the wildest competition
\nknown to man.<\/p>\n
Perhaps most interestingly, Florine attempts to answer the question why. Why
\nwould anyone undertake one of the greatest adventure epics on earth 100 times?
\nHis answers provide unique insights on how to live a satisfying life, how to
\nachieve big goals, and how an otherwise ordinary guy can become a rock star. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
