Tragic, and he gave his life for some idiot that disregarded/violated the "Stay out" signs.

That is sad.

Depending on the state laws the hiker could be held criminally responsible. That is if the hiker is first found guilty of the trespassing charge.

I have been very close to several rescues at Red Rocks by these fine folks and they are world class.

This is very sad news. All too often closures and warnings are disregarded.

LOL! Yeah, because climbers never disobey signs...

Sad day for NVPD, the whole community owes these men thanks and respect.
