Sorry I don't have more details but am looking for an accident info that involved the death of a friend mine Rich Copeland.

He is a Yosemite big wall local that was working in Kings/Sequoia Canyon last time I spoke with him. If anyone has more info they could find or give me it would be great.

Sorry to hear about your friend. Try posting on Supertopo if you haven't already. Also, E Side or W Side, I may be able to ask around if it's E Side?

He was a friend of mine too. Please post here when you know more. He really inspired me to pick up climbing, and have been now for 8 years. Like I said, post what you find out here please.

We got news through the FB page of Montecito Lake Resort about Rich Copeland's death.
He used to work there in the summers.
They're a family camp up in King's Canyon.
