Yosemite National Park -- A Lafayette rock climber and his Japanese partner toe hooked, finger jammed and shimmied 3,000 feet straight up the nose of El Capitan Wednesday, taking from Germany the record for fastest time on the iconic route.
It means the American-Japanese climbing duo is once again in possession of a record that has become so difficult to break that some climbers think even trying for it is a reckless quest bound to eventually lead to tragedy.
