Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell set another record in Yosemite

Everybody knows about Alex Honnold and Tommy Caldwell.  Each of them have broken more records and done more firsts in Yosemite than I can count.  So, what happens when they join forces?  They climb El Cap, Half Dome, and Mt. Watkins in 21h 15min, free.  Dean Potter is the only other person to link these climbs in a day, but he didn't climb them all free.  Alex and Tommy did in less than one day what takes the average climber over 11 days to do.  More information on their feat can be found here:
