Donna is the one in misery. Unless there is something to cover up and hide I don't see how posting his name will shatter him further? This is a matter of public factual record-ie the search and rescue/first responders/paramedics have it. There is a safety obligation to the climbing community to let us make an informed decision if we want to climb with and be belayed by her belayer. To do otherwise is to put all climbers at risk. Are you willing to be belayed by him?

Oh, come on. This is a little silly. One inadequately trained n00b got dropped by another inadequately trained n00b. If you don't want this to happen to you, then get some expert instruction in belaying, instead of relying on the limited knowledge of your local gym employee, and learn how to train and evaluate the competency of your potential partners.

In reply to:
In any event the person should come forward and explain exactly what happened...

Here's what happened: the belayer didn't lock off he belay device.
