Adam Ondra has tried the 14th pitch of Dawn Wall on El Capitan in Yosemite on the 4th day of free ascent attempt, but he has not succeeded yet. Tomorrow he has to try again.

Damn! 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! @mytendon @blackdiamondequipment #Montura @lasportivagram #elcapitan #dawnwall #yosemite @

Adam was still optimistic on the video from the beginning of the 4th day and the 14th pitch, the hardest one (5.14d) (video by Pavel Blazek):
