    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?

    climbing is full of arbituary rules. on a side note I am pretty sure this accent will solidify these guys as 2 of the best free climbers ever. how incredible! Such a great send and with a great story to go along with it! Congrats Kevin and Tommy!!

      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.
