I told them I couldn't make it, which created an opening for Chris.

October 20 was day 1 [for the 2013 edition of this project].
They climbed the first 5 pitches, then hiked in from the top, got water,
fixed ropes down the wall, and established a portaledge camp near last year's high point.
Kevin Jorgeson seems to be posting the most updates:

from Kevin Jorgeson's facebook page - Tommy got injured:
And by El Cap bites back, this is what I mean. Heal quick Tommy!

Disaster strikes! Haul bag took a 200 plunge while clipped to the back of my harness. Hauling hook fail. It was a bit jarring. Looks like a costochondral seperation. I am headed home to try and heal as quickly as possable. Costochondral Separation = separated rib

Yes terrible accident, so sorry ....
Same thing happened to my partner on half Dome in 1972.
When the haul Bag came to the end of the rope the force flipped him upside down so hard it split his helmet in half.
He got knocked unconscious for a period.
I had to down jumar to him on the lead line with him upside down and the haul bag loaded on it.
He was lucky to only suffer a brutal headache .... :-)
Without a helmet he would have been dead for sure ......

I would guess so. Seperating ribs hurts like a mutherfkr. I used to wrestle in high school and had it happen to me, although just a twinge. It hurts to even breathe, and takes a while to heal.
Damn, man. That was an all star team up there. I want them to get this done and finally see the hardest overall route on Earth put up. Tommy has spent so much time on this, and they are super close. They can't give up after this year, and we all age.
Best of luck to them. This route will really be something when it finally goes. I believe that they have already freed the moves. It is just redpointing every pitch.
Some day some person will solo it. Time always marches on.
