Looks about 3" too low.

Just imagine how much better he'd be if he got it the correct length!

That's what I was thinking seeing his most recent climbs. His knees seemed to be flailing around outward. I figured he might have some residual stiffness from the first day crash and lowered the saddle a bit for some reason to compensate. Sure looks awkward but it seems to be working for him.
