God bless search and rescue crews. Those folks are really unsung heroes. I may have to give it a try someday. Until then, my condolences to the family of Brandon and my heart-felt thanks to those who risked their lives to save others.

Wow, such sad news!

It must have been hell. Imagine a lighting storm so violent it affects three separate climbing parties thusly.

A great salute to the rescuers who had risked their life in order to save the climbers from the disastrous situation. But for the guy who had lost his life, its a sad news indeed!!

How very tragic. Praying for the survivors and the family and friends of those who lost their loved one. Many thanks to the rescue crew(s).

God rest his brave soul.

I was in the Tetons when this happened. I was hiking Paintbrush/Cascade Canyons and watched the rescue helicopters flying all afternoon. We had a few lightening strikes very close, but nothing hit closer than 1/4 mile.

Yes, a sad day, to be sure.
