Question
who were some of the youngest, and fastest time accents of El Cap in the last 40 years?

Answer
Russel,
Those are good questions and not wasy to answer.  El Capitan has over 40 different routes and all have thier speed records. In the last 10 years speed climbing up El Cap has been popuar with a select group of people, Hans Forine, Tommy Caldwell and others do amazing things.

I know of a 12 year old who climbed El Cap but he is probably not the youngest.

I would suggest going to www.supertopo.com and email Chris McNamara. Chris has vast knowlege of El Cap and has himself climbed it many many times.

Good Luck
Jeff
