LOL.

Hopefully they'll do a walk to the edge together arms raised ala Hans and Alex.

I gotta say, I teared up a bit watching Kevin pull over from the lie back and give Tommy a hug. What an unbelievably inspiring effort. The years of quiet toil these guys put in for this day... I can't imagine how good it feels.

Facebook, Tweets, and Instagram is all I'm seeing from the top. Nothing live.

Brian Williams just did the story on NBC Nightly News on the East Coast. Supposedly they're doing more coverage from the summit later in the broadcast.

They're hiking up the Yosemite Falls trail way long and slow.

Go up the east ledges in 1/4 the time it takes to hike that way.

They should of hired some bad ass climbers to blitz up the East Ledges.

Where's Potter and his crew?

They can do it in an hour ....

"They need a dummy manikin right now and throw it off to the end of a 70 meter rope."

Lol!! You old bastard Werner.

Fun way to spend the afternoon, I've gotta say. Congratulations and thanks guys.

I think Obama is going to land in the meadow in his helicopter any moment now

Actually Werner, Miguel Almaguer just reported on NBC News that Obama is expected to call the two climbers. Lol. How cool would it be if he said in his nerdy voice, "Boy, I've heard from some folks that you really crushed it."
