'Pass the Pitons' Pete



Big Wall climber like Ontario, Canada, eh? May 19, 2013 - 07:08pm PT I was phoned by a friend on the scene and told that the leader on Muir triggered a HUGE rockfall at 9am this morning that peppered as far right as the Nose, and which also cut his rope and killed him. I don't know how far he fell.



I don't know which party it was. I heard only one person was killed outright, and do knott know anything of the partner. Rescue and/or recover was happening from the summit.



What a tragedy, I'm so sorry. My condolences to the family and friends. Be careful up there, it's dangerous.



Edit: Oh sh|t, I think I know who it was. However I will shut up until I know. Crap.
