On Sunday September 16th I ran into the Huber Brothers in El Cap Meadow. They seemed in good spirits after their ten hour ascent of The Nose the day before. -They flew in on Friday so it was just a jet-lag-reducing ascent.
Thomas says he'll graciously only beat the current record by 5 or so minutes so there's more to cut off for future parties.
I predict 2:36 - Go Hubers!
If you have news from the valley on their preparations or the day they'll make their first attempts at the record please post, so those close by can come cheer them on.

It was a pleasure seeing Alex and Thomas yesterday (Sept. 29). Even though I didn't get to talk to them long. It was truey an honor to be able to get this picture of them chatting it up with their fellows.
All I could say was "Mein Duetch ist shiet, but Danke." I got a laugh from the group and wished them luck on their 8 AM climb.
Here is the picture I took.
