East Side peeps on Facebook are all talking about someone named Scott but no details. Praying this isn't Sederstrom.

Totally shocking. Facebook is abuzz, but it's too early for details. I'll let someone who knows him personally with accurate info post.
Sincerest heartfelt condolences. Always very sad to loose a member of the tribe :(

Hey all,
There is a press release in the works and the investigation is ongoing. Lets keep speculation to a minimum. There will be a full release of the details involving the accident after the investigation is complete.
For the time being, I will say that the accident did not involve a traxion type device, and did not occur while top rope soloing.
Condolences to those who knew Scott.

I was on the rim of the lower gorge yesterday when Bishop climbers who were Scott's friends returned after finding him. It was Scott Sederstrom. There were no details then, even from the climber who found his body. Nothing is confirmed about a miniTrax or even a rope being involved. The climber who found him was more immediately concerned with calling off the search than in analyzing what happened. The SAR people went down to take photos and bring him out. As you can imagine, we were involved up top with the emotions of Scott's friends and fiance.
May he rest in peace.

I worked with him at MH in 2000. He lived in a yurt and climbed more than he worked. He was such an inspirational dude. I always wanted to live like him. He lived life to the fullest. RIP bro.

The one person I called today was my friend in Bishop who happened to be the same person DR ran into.
Condolences to friends and family, a wonderful spirit by all accounts.

Praying this isn't Sederstrom.
NOoooooooooooooooo! This is crushing. I can't think of a finer soul.
Scott was from Montana but the first time I met him was in the Sierra. This really hurts.
