He was "hiking" Slipstream. I have never seen it, but isn't that like 3000ft long grade 5 ice climb or something?

Newspapers crack me up.

Glad that they found him and that his family can get the closure they deserved. RIP.

He was definitely a skilled and well respected climber around these parts. May he continue to rest in peace.
