A friend of mine fell on the North East Buttress of angles landing today and he needs your prayers and thoughts. He's in a fight for his life right now. The rescue is still ongoing and the park isn't saying much. Some other friends that were there are saying its not good but the extent of his conditions is unknown.

Sad long night. He died before they could get him down. I love you brother. See you someday on that big wall in heaven.

I remember watching Conrad and Andy on the FFA.

It is a serious route (with the third ascent erroniously reported as the FA to boot).



Any details we can glean a lesson from?

hey there say, NO_ONE...

oh no... :( i am so very sad to hear this...

i was just going to go pray, and just finished reading that it
is too late... i did not see this, until late, as well, :(


my prayers and condolences for his family and loved ones, oh my,
so very sorry to hear this sad news...


sad that you had a rough night alone... many of us had not seen this yet,
or we would have let you know that we were close by in thoughts, at least, and prayers... :(

I am very sorry for your loss. To lose a dear friend, especially when it comes so sudden and unexpectedly, is a heavy burden to bare. It was good that you did what you could and reached out here for him, called out for prayers and hope. I believe that he would be very grateful for that, that you cared and did all that you could under the circumstances. I hope that you will find some peace in knowing that, along with the privilege and honor of being his friend. My thoughts and prayers are with all his family, friends and loved ones.
