He just passed the 12b on pitch 30. He's pointing towards some blank rock up and right ahead. Is that pitch 31 (13a)? I sure hope not.
Fet, that topo you posted was pitches that they climbed yesterday.

I think they're bagged. That's probably why Tommy's leading everything..

I was wrong, this is still the 12b pitch.

Could they be dramatizing this last section for effect??
18 days of extremely hard climbing and they aren't prancing up 13a.
I bet you think the moon landing was faked too.

Crazy. Looks like the crux spot transitioning to traversing after the down climb isn't even given a crux rating.
Tom must be happy with Tommy's fashion choice. Bright red helmet and yellow/green jacket.

If Tommy hasn't actually taken any falls on this 18-day attempt, then climbing these last few pitches clean must mean a lot to him.
Anyone know?

He's taken falls but goes back to the belay and completes each pitch with no falls.
Yay! Just finished 29!

Yes, Tommy fell on several pitches before red pointing. I'm pretty sure the thread contains links to Kevin's blow by blow of the early climbing ("Tommy sent second try, I sent third try" etc.).
Looks like Tommy just clipped the anchor at the end of p30. Now comes the last 13a.

Didn't he fall on the pitch with the wet streak?
