Great little video clip. And it brings up the missing finger issue that TC has overcome, too. Don't you just admire these guys for their contribution to our art and history? Their ascent has made me very happy!

Lovely little quickdraw fairies fly above them, placing gear for the next pitch.

Thanks.
Looks fairly reachy in one spot. (Jonathan Siegrest mentioned this when he worked it a couple of years ago).
And, yeah, the missing index finger is not helping.

1. That's awesome.
2. All the topos circulating have said 14+ or 14d for that pitch. Interesting this video says 14c. Splitting hairs I know, and (to mix metaphors) in a rarefied air beyond anything I'll ever sample. Still, it'll be interesting to see the final rating of these pitches from Tommy and Kevin, as well as what any other suitors eventually think (though I suspect it will take quite some time for another attempt).

It's a pleasure to see such precision on a technical pitch.

I haven't watched the video yet but all said, this is the essence of my experience.

Beautifully done! So smooth, and as Kevin said, amazing footwork.
Our sport, for good or bad, has received quite a bit of coverage due to their ascent.

It's a pleasure to see such precision on a technical pitch. I would have to agree.

Fun to watch!
At the local rock gym, there was a new crimp route entitled "Dawn Wall Trainer".
