Pitch 10 done, "the push is getting closer, I think one more day of work, two days of rest and we're all set".

[Lopez]

Seems like the gun show starts tomorrow. Who wants to run the sweepstake? 

adam.ondra Tomorrow going for the push! First two days of heat and climbing the first 13 pitches, then one restday of rain and then perfect conditions for the crux pitches on day 4. Starting tomorrow at 3 AM to get done as many pitches as possible before the remorseless sun hits the wall.

Impressive stuff, 6 hours of climbing not even 9am and 9 pitches down included 6 betweem 5.13a and 5.14a.

Top of pitch 12 by the sounds of it.

I'd assumed from this it was top of 13?

I'm not sure if the video was cut short, but on Adam's instagram it says they've made it to the start of pitch 14 (as was planned I think).

I think they intended to rest for a day (due to rain) and then try the crux pitched from tomorrow.

It's super interesting following this ascent - sounds like he's having to dig deep. I guess it's the next few pitches which will be the make or break.

I came back to make that correction. Alas, too late.

Seen the size of his fingers in that instamagram shot? Like a pound of butchers sausages.

I hadn't quite realised what his speed was like on this thing. Comparing to TC & KJ's successful ascent: http://www.rockandice.com/dawn-wall-el-cap-yosemite-topo

It was day 6 before they did pitch 13 (though they also did P14 that day too). Such impressive climbing.

Ondra's leading every pitch too rather than swing leads.

Also this image is amazing, but look at that left arm!!

also from Instagram 9hrs ago

"Tired but relieved face! Made it up to the start of pitch 14! As @alexhonnold brought some dark chocolate for @tommycaldwell and @kjorgeson on their push and it seemed it helped them, Heinz did the same today. But he told me that I must deserve it first:-) And send pitch 10. I did in rather dramatic way on my 2nd go. Then, I almost finished the chocolate while having a few heartbreaking goes on the pitch 12 to calm my nerves. Luckily it all worked out and we are getting deserved sleep."

Good write up of pitches 10 - 13 here:

“It should've been a rather easy day with only four pitches to do..."⠀

adam.ondraDamn! Climbed super poorly, so much pressure, so nervous! Needed 7 tries to make it through the first boulderproblem on pitch 14, a boulderproblem that i never really found very hard before, but somehow felt really hard today. I slipped on my first try, then on my second try, then just freaked out and felt so insecure with my feet trying to climb as carefully as possible but kept slipping nevertheless. Then, on my 7th try, I did the boulderproblem, and fell from the last move.
Hard to find some optimism, but I will try it again.
Tomorrow and hopefully with better mindset.
Thanks everyone for encouragement! I am sorry for today, hopefully there is still the chance!

Bad weather is supposed to move in tomorrow night... can get tense. There is still a few tricky pitches left to do...

Did he do the dyno or the loop?

i think that's the next pitch, he'll probably go for the loop, because that is what he practiced

Right you are. I looked at the numbers wrong on the topo.
