Where did you hear that?
I heard that there was a climbing accident in the local area but I can't find any info on it.

Sounds like he wasn't a climber:

Climber dies after fall
MORRISON (AP) - Authorities in Jeffrson County say a man climbing on the rocks near Morrison with his girlfriend Wednesday afternoon died after he apparently fell about 75 feet.
County sheriff's office spokeswoman Jacki Tallman says the accident happened about two miles west of Morrison near Idledale -- and near Colorado Highway 74.
The Foothills Fire Department responded to the call for help -- but the climber was pronounced dead at the scene.
Authorities say there were several passers-by who witnessed the accident.
The man's name wasn't immediately released -- and his girlfriend wasn't injured.
