Zoroaster/Brahma in 18 hours - So. Rim to So. Rim
A team of four (Buzz Burrell, Stefan Griebel, John Prater, and Bill Wright) from Boulder, Colorado's SMSC (Satan's Minions Scrambling Club) climbed Zoroaster (5 pitches, 5.9) and Brahma Temples (4th class) in the Grand Canyon in 18h09m south rim to south rim. The roundtrip involves 30+ miles of hiking (10 miles off trail) and 11,000 vertical feet of hiking, scrambling, and climbing. A full report is located here:

having been up both of these on the 3 day program, (not the single push program) i congratulate you all - we were worked just doing it our way -
I wanted to mention that when we were looking for info. on Zoroaster we heard that Carl Tobin had done Zoroaster (but not Brahma) in less than 24 hours over 10 years ago. This came to us second hand but I thought I'd mention it.
Nice push with 4. John D. and I did it in 15:20 car to car last year. I've walked by Zoraster solo to do Brahma car to car in 10:20. Definitely helps knowing the terrain and rough time requirement going into it to better plan for food and water. It can get damn thirsty up there if you are wrong! Good job!
