 The Nose Goes Quicker - Part 2Video by Eric Perlman / MastersofStone.com - TEASER FROM MASTERS OF STONE 6 COMING SPRING 2009 - The July 2, 2008 - In this 3:20 episode, Yuji and Hans blast past Dolt Tower, up Texas Flake and across the diagonal Bolt Ladder, as usual placing pro in forty to fifty foot intervals. Yuji feels the stress as he fails to unclip a daisy, utters his only profanity of the day ("merde") and cam hooks the aid section of Boot Flake. Their time continues right on the edge of record pace. Watch Part 1  The Nose Goes Quicker - Part 1Video by Eric Perlman / MastersofStone.com - TEASER FROM MASTERS OF STONE 6 COMING SPRING 2009 - The July 2 climb did not begin well. Hirayama took a warm-up lap on the first pitch, a polished, pin-scarred 5.10d. Halfway up, he missed a hold, falling 20 feet. But, said Hirayama, “[The fall] just made me focus more.” And focus they did. The pair counted down together in Japanese — “San, ni, ichi!” — and then Florine hit the stopwatch, with Hirayama firing up the crack.  THE NOSE GOES QUICKER
Story and Photos by Eric Perlman / MastersofStone.com - July 2, 2008: “Go Hans! Go Yuji! Go Hans! Go Yuji!” a crowd of onlookers howls from below the 3,000-foot prow of El Capitan, in Yosemite National Park, California. The cheering spurs on Yuji Hirayama and Hans Florine, mere specks on the Nose (VI 5.9 C2; 2,900 feet; 31 pitches), as they charge to reclaim the speed record held since October 2007 by the German brothers Alex and Thomas Huber.  FIVE (MASTERS OF STONE V)Videos by Eric Perlman - Dean Potter is a human acetylene torch, burning down the walls of the, "impossible." Eyes of a hunting wolf and steel cable physique, this barefoot mountain rescue specialist keeps his exploits in perspective with self-deprecating humor and a deep respect for connection with natural world. Potter's raw power, emotional intensity and deadly commitment reveal a terrifying world at the outer edge of human ability. Steph Davis is beautiful, brilliant and bold...free-soloing 5.12 and 5.11+ on red desert sandstone. Dan Osman's fatal final adventure must be seen to be believed. Hanging by fingertips 3000 feet off the ground with no rope or safety gear, tip-toeing a one-inch strip of nylon across a 120 foot-wide chasm, leaping off cliffs with laughter and fury, Potter and his friends deliver a whole new level of climbing action, set to a high-quality, adrenaline-pounding soundtrack featuring Metallica.
