Anyone considered a Half Dome hand stand that went wrong?
Maybe he set his camera on time release for a self portrait on the edge, and it's still up there somewhere?

More detail about the victim.
http://www.mercurynews.com/california/ci_18747779?source=rss
Park officials are investigating the fall as an accident, and Leeder's relatives are trying to piece together what may have happened. His father, Larry Leeder, who was heading to Yosemite on Wednesday, didn't return a phone call. But Belanger said that the younger Leeder had been battling mental illness since he was a teenager.
"Time and time again, that was his Achilles' heel. That was something he really struggled
with," Belanger, 28, of San Jose, said. "I think, just like a lot of times he had gotten himself into trouble, it usually had something to do with that."
But Belanger says the family still has many unanswered questions, including why Leeder's backpack was found a mile down the trail on the back side of the dome. Leeder's father, a retired piano tuner who lives with his wife in Los Gatos, speculated to Belanger that his son might have been exhausted after spending most of the previous night awake texting someone.

Here on ST we have a grand history of being able quickly to reach a consensus on important questions of the day.
So as not to punish Ryan's family further, can we please speed this up and get right to a conclusion here?

Hey all, I signed up just to shed a little light on Ryan Leeder. I knew him personally, he was a drug addict, and essentially a ticking time bomb for this to occur. I knew him for over a year, and I do not recall a day he was not high on coke, opiates, weed, drunk, or high on psychedelic drugs. Everyone saying RIP and saying that they are praying for his family... let me add context. He literally worshiped the devil and believed in all the cult stuff you can imagine, one of the many reasons I stopped hanging out with him in June, 2 months prior to this. Also, he tried to rob my apartment because he had run out of money from family to buy drugs and came to ask for some. I said no so he tried to grab the money I had on the counter and run. I caught him in the hallway before the door and gave him a beating. He was so high he couldn't feel the pain and kept trying to fight back and didnt realize that he lost his pants and underwear in the process until he was outside, bleeding out of his nose. He ended up going to the ER and from the the police took him away and I decided not to press charges, I felt I gave him enough of a punishment. They found high amounts of coke, opiates, weed, meth, and acid in his system. He was sent to a mental institute after he said to the police that all he recalled was he came over to say what's up and left. He didn't remember what occurred the night before. The policy found mounds of caffeine that he was snorting because he couldn't by cocaine and roaches in his house from lack of hygiene. At least now he is in hell with the thing he used to worship... Satan. He was a fiend who never could get his life together, playing video games all day, and never had a job; used money from family to pay for everything. He won't be missed by many, except his dealers I'm sure. Let me know if you guys have any other questions. The comments that say RIP and our prayers go out to you make me sick.

So you didn't like someone, cool.
No matter how much of a saint you are, I'll be sure to piss on your grave as such you did to Ryan's. I have no idea who he is, but regardless, he sounded very, very sick. But I feel more sorry for you than I do for him. You're pathetic.

So people understand who he really was. We used to ask him why he would take drugs if he was psychzophernic (spelling sorry) and hed either ignore us or get angry over it. Shedding light on who he really was, the title "another soul lost at half dome" isnt correct, he gave it to the devil a long time ago. Drugs and cults and the way he lived... it was bound to happen. At least he had a nice view

Asking them why they're addicted to extremely addictive substances isn't gonna make them stop. It's only going to make them want to hurt themselves more.

Michael. If I robbed you for the money you LITERALLY were going the next day to help your family pay for your grandmother's funeral. Please piss on my grave. If you don't know a person, you probably shouldn't say stuff like you did. But see I did know him.

Sob story.
Attention monger.
Why not let this thread rest with him?
Shows what kind of person you are to make an account on a forum and start bashing on a dead person, regardless of who they are...

Yeah we'll to each his own. He literally would knock on every single door in the apartment complex asking for money because his dad didn't want to continue to pay for his habits. He wouldn't get a job, wouldn't go out in sunlight. We all had to move out because the complex had to be fumigated and had a tent over it because his lack of hygiene caused roaches and bugs to spread. No other apartment had a problem until he brought it. He put multiple families out of there homes, woke us all up at 2am 4-5 times a week because he wanted money. I am bipolar. I know the mental illness side. He wasn't addicted to a specific drug. He wanted to do any drug, didn't matter what it was, he wanted it just because it would get him high.

Yeah we'll I am. It's not fun but I know not to mix drugs when I take meds to cope with it. I tried to connect with him because my sister and I both cope with sever depression, drugs meant more to him than life. To each his own
