Seems like a profoundly dicey location for an activity like that. I would have taken one look at the unsecured run-out and understood the potential for this. I'd love the get a translation of what those knuckleheads are saying. One of them is still giggling long after it was clear those guys were monumentally f*#ked.

BVB, the Russian for 'dicey' is 'normal' or, if very dicey, 'interesting'.
They weren't actually saying much other than "there he goes" and when it
was obvious he was in for the big one "he's going down"; the usual Russian
understatement.
Maybe a side issue, but the guy who died had massive spinal injuries. Should have stabilized him where he was then evac'd him, rather than dragging him back up the hill. Hopefully they'll have better medical responders when the olympics come to town.
falling off the top of el cap would be a bad way to die. But being in that ball would be just sooo creepy. I guess because you'd have time to know what's going on. Plus I'm claustrophobic. A definition of hell for me.
Let us know!
