Just clicked on the live feed and watched a little. Surprised with the good quality. Can see pretty well. As far as I remember, I've rarely seen top climbers wear a helmet. Well, they didn't have one in earlier photos, so I was surprised to see them wearing one now. I wonder if it's a sacrifice they made to set a good example for kids who might be watching.

You know you're a hermit when a few trucks and onlookers in a 6 mile long valley is 'a circus.'

Weather forecast is for continued fair into the weekend. Warmish days and cool nights.
Now is not the time for them to rush it.
Take it easy (easy for me to say), play it safe lads.

It's kinda boring watching it with no sound so I just put on my Benny Hill soundtrack, a lot more exciting now!

Yep, Mei and Kevin, I was wondering the same thing about the helmets.
p27 (5.11c) on Sloan's topo led and followed.
One more (5.12c) to the "Ship's Bow" and its sloping ledge.
Getting dark and headlamps are out.

Topping out the dawn wall...at dawn? Pretty freaking cool. Looking like they'll finish before that.

Kevin tweeted earlier today that they are going to spend the night at Ship's Bow (top of pitch 28). So, they are presumably climbing the last pitch for the day right now (12c) and tomorrow they have 4 "easy" 12b pitches, with a move of 13a according to the topo to finish it off.

Not sure I favor this as a paradigm going forward, but jeez, this has been so fun to follow.
Totally agree with this.

To me, this was better than all the sporting events my friends and family watch! Thank you to everyone involved, but mostly to the dudes sending. So much sh#t has been said on this climb, which is unfortunate. I have nothing to say other than, holy f*#k, awesome, and send it. Thank you for giving me something to follow while everyone I know watched football!
