Don;t know to much about him but sounds like he died doing what he loved.

I don't think we'll get any info to analyze other than mainstream press reports, so I'm going to go ahead and put this in In Memory Of.

there was more than 1 climber killed in this accident, even though 1 is getting all the press. My heart goes out to the families of both, it's very sad and they were both far too young.

What great achievements, quite a man with his strong outlook and strong will, and his partner of course.

A very sad and huge loss, and for their age. RIP

At least he didn't spend his life on his ass watching it pass him by. I bet he has/had no regrets. He "lived".

From that article:

"He would have had an amazing life ahead, I'm sure, but the one consolation I can extract is that he was really enjoying the present, and how he was living his life, and he appreciated every aspect of it."
