Climbers didn't figure out how to scale it until 1958- five years after Everest. In 1989, a young climber named Hans Florine attempted to ascend the Nose, an effort that took him 46 hours. He would go on to climb it an unprecedented 101 times (and counting) and whittle his total effort down to a mere 2.5 hours-a feat that has no parallel in modern outdoor sport. Florine's story is at once an audacious adventure that spans nearly three decades, proMountaineeringCaliforniaYosemite National ParkHistoryMountaineersCaliforniaYosemite National ParkBiographyEl Capitan (Calif.)Description and travelYosemite National Park (Calif.)Description and travelMountaineeringHistory.Mountaineers796.522092Florine Hans1542389Moye JaymeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910798331103321On the Nose3795124UNINA
