Team Gobright/Reynolds resort to some creative (& highly questionable) simul-climbing techniques to win the coveted speed ascent of The Nose – from fan favorite (and our most-watched film from the archive) ‘Race for the Nose.’ Now streaming on Reel Rock Unlimited.
I’m just sticking my fingers through the haers I’m not clipping them with carabiners I heard that at the top Brad was literally just holding on with his fingers to the bolts and just plowing across and they had an entire 60 M rope hanging between them but with nothing clipped and you’re like what like what are you guys doing there one final bolt that I clip just so that we’re clipped into something but this time I’m like we’re going to break the wck there’s no time for anything so I skip it and it’s a little Dean Potter quote no gear no Falls no gear no Falls Brad’s down there just like moning through the bolt hangers I was like what what does he mean like there’s no gear what and I remember like pulling over this one lip and I was like yeah he’s not joking there’s no gear between us

That last comment… Yep he's not joking
This is not funny nor admirable. It is foolish and dangerous
Rip to the legend Brad 🙏
Dean has gone, Brad has gone. A lot of others have gone. Popularising risky behaviour on the rock is never a good thing…
Just stupid
I'm super surprised to learn that this guy has died during climbing.
Brad was the single strongest climber I ever knew…he could crank on stuff that seemed literally impossible
Yea you’ll break the record- the aid record 😅
Darwinism
Climbers are the worst
So that’s like what… A0. Now they gotta do it again, faster, w/o using hangers as holds 🤦♂️
I would never climb with that lead again. The second guy didnt ask to have his life put in danger for "more speed" not cool at all.
There's a reason Brad's dead now.
So it's basically aid climbing then 🙄 What "record?"
So he thinks cheating is okay when speedrunning a wall? Thats all I heard
And then he died shortly after, can’t say I have that much sympathy
This is why so many rock climbers die every year…
Dumb moves…
No clip no fall….well it didn't end well
There are old climbers, there are bold climbers, but there are no old bold climbers.
When your motto is “Safety third” it’s just a matter of time.
I mean in the time it took to turn around and say that you could have clipped.
And that's why Gobright is no longer with us
Rip Brad 😢
