Hmmm .... It was his time.
I'm sticking with the 'Rock Wall' at the 'Y', for now.

Mike,
Many people make this mistake, so don't feel I am focusing on you.
To be correct, the deceased had NO MORE YEARS LEFT.
Why? Because it was 'his time'.
We commonly hear, when a younger person passes, that " He / she died before his / her time".
Not true. The person died EXACTLY at their appointed time. Not BEFORE. Think about it.

Yes. Lively debate might ensue.
I am not a "fatalist"; but, there are some valid points to be made, relative to my statement.
Not here, though; I agree.

Wow sounds like this guy may have been another of the fanatical climbers who succeed to the adrenalin drug of bigger and riskier is better. I have not read the article.

Wow, I have now read the article and maybe can see the situation on the mountain. The client did not want to continue as he felt the risks his guide were taking were unnecessarily high and then the guide walked over and started shaking him.
They fell.
Shame the client got injured and glad he did not die too.

A friend of mine has a take on that expression, "Nine times-out-of ten ... (yada-yada-yada, etc.)"
He says, "That 10% will get you .... unfailingly".
I am a 'risk-taker' myself. I don't want to be tethered to another one.

this thread inspired some fairly unexpected comments.
my takeaway is that no matter how skilled you are, you have to respect the mountain and make safety your first priority. even doing all of that, the best climbers can fall.

That's a cool story, are you a philosopher or something?
We are indeed fortunate to have such wisdom to behold.
Back on topic..... it's tragedy for sure but I wasn't there so I don't get to comment.

I am guilty as well for posting dead climber posts, but can we talk about climbing, not falling?
Otherwise we should suggest that the forum name be changed from the CLIMBING forum to the FALLING forum.
