One out of every 3 who summit die on the way down it’s so treacherous.
Supposedly a lot more remote as well so I guess it would be harder to get to in bad weather.
Tragedy on Mount Kenya yesterday. Lad I’d know a bit was killed. Tough one. Heartbreaking for his family.

Cheers. I had not seen him since this time last year. I’d not have known him very well. The randomness of it all.

Sorry to hear that. Always find such folly to be very selfish endeavors.

He has a point though. You’ve no business climbing mountains if you have small kids for instance.

There’s a time and a place. Now isn’t that. Have some cop on.
It’s sad but calm down, Flatty knows him a bit. I doubt anyone else knows him.

TUM not Flatty.
This discussion has been had already on here as well. MBB said what many of us are likely thinking. Weirder that this stuff is happening during a worldwide pandemic with half the world shut down

You’d almost admire a lad using a third party’s perceived grief to have a hop at another poster. Almost.

He was determined to go. Flight was cancelled last week. He got a different one. I rang my mother this evening and as she said “his time was up”. Sometimes your time is just up.
He was a good guy. Helped set up Run in the Dark.

Sorry for you loss TUM.
Even, like, Galtymore?
I wouldn’t chance Salthill nowdays.
Cheers. I was’t a close friend of his but we’d done some things together.
I wouldn’t get upset about lads questioning why lads climb and take risks. I’d think the same sometimes but some lads are built that way and ultimately that’s why they are who they are for right or wrong.
Anyway. RIP. He’ll be missed.
