Sad day for climbers. We are always curious about what happened in an accident because we want to understand how something so terrible can happen and so we can learn and avoid the same situation. What I would like to understand is how someone could get into trouble descending from Discovery Wall. I've climbed there many times and in fact, it was the first place I ever went climbing. The only way I've ever descended is to walk back down on the trail. I can't understand how you could get in trouble descending.

Top-roping accident?
He was on a rope descending a section of the “Liberty Wall” rock face when a piece of belaying equipment held by his friend and climbing partner—who was on the ground securing the other end of Kraut’s rope—apparently malfunctioned.
