Details are scarce at this time but it sounds like he was free soloing, but he was possibly rope soloing. Which formation he was on is presently unknown. His body was discovered yesterday by other climbers.

I just heard from a friend in Missoula that his body was found at the base of the Prow with only shoes and a chalk bag. Presumably he fell free soloing the Timebinder route.

RIP
