No audio? Really? Seems like we should hear the the meadow crowd whooping it up.

As they say, rock climbing isn't much of a spectator sport. . .

Is this on broadcast tv, right now? - would they preempt people's court?-
Or just these nbc internet feeds?
And yes, that second one, is, better!

I connected to the second feed and all I got was some big guy with a moustache trying to sell me arch supports.

second feed (9News in Colorado) is working. It takes sometimes quite a bit of time to buffer up and deliver though. Really worth watching right now 12:19 west coast

Watching grass grow is WAY more exciting than this video. Dude spends way more time chalking than climbing!

I've been watching it on the NBC News IOS APP.

Very good quality and no buffering issues.

Well, there goes any chance of me getting work done. I can't help but watch, and I don't think it is boring. Can;t you almost feel like you're on the belay side? Jeez!

They recently pulled back and it shows the sky - I am wondering what is left - one more belay anchor and pitch?

Looks like there is a 13a face pitch(Pitch 31) and then a 12b crack pitch(Pitch 32) to go.
