Watch Dawn Wall Finish Live

As Kevin Joregson says on Twitter:

It's not over till it's over. #DawnWall

But by all accounts the multi-year effort by Tommy Caldwell and Kevin Jorgeson to free climb the Dawn Wall on El Cap will likely end this afternoon.

I can't describe the amazing vibe and energy this morning as the sun hit us only a few hundred vertical feet from the summit of the #dawnwall This has been such an amazing experience! If all goes well the boys will be making history this afternoon. @tommycaldwell @kjorgeson @bigupclimbing

Is there somewhere with a live chat to go along with the video feed? I feel like it’d be more interesting with commentary.

I’m confused. Kevin just fell all over the first pitch of the day, but is continuing through the traverse to the belay. Doesn’t he need to top rope red point it, per the arbitrary rules established for the route?

  In a twitter response to my question regarding the nature (or more specifically, source) of the “rules” used in the Dawn Wall ascent, KJ wrote that the rules are “stipulated by commonly accepted big wall free climbing ethics.”

I feel like that they might not be aware the feed is still broadcasting.
