Yup. Two falls now. He's gonna work it before coming back to the belay.

I am sure that big old rack isn't helpful on delicate .13a traverses...
Working it out before the next go is my guess...

"Sure boss, I'll get you that TPS report. Right after KJ figures out this 13a sequence."
"WTF are you talking about?"
"Shhhhhh, he's popped a couple of times right off the belay"
"What?"
"Go away, this is crucial."
"So is that report."
"Shhh."

Looks as if he's finished the traverse and staring up the dihedral

It's like watching paint dry on a Picasso.
More accurately, it's like watching the painting happen.
Ha! Well put! I guess I'm more for viewing the finished product, as I think I'd get bored watching Caravaggio paint after 15 minutes as well! But to each his own. Sounds like second to last pitch is underway. Gonna be a nice mid-afternoon top-out and viewing of the sunset with family and friends I suppose. I trust folks will have hiked up a suitable celebratory beverage of their choice.

He fell but started again from the stance at the beginning of the pitch.
I don't think he needs to unclip and reclip the bolt to make it legit.

Wonder how many people are watching, world-wide. Pretty cool, no Bud Light ads. Thanks, NBC.

Where is the camera for the live feed? It looks as if it is almost at their level.

I would guess the camera is in El Cap Meadow with a HUGE lens like it typically is.
I don't think you could drive a satellite truck up to the top of Higher Cathedral spire.
Unless there's a parking lot with a view of the captain, like by Sentinel Dome. Is Glacier Point road still open?
