I am very sorry to hear about the Passing! In 1998 as a new gunks climber I to headed out to lumpy Ridge. I went to Batman and Robin Pinnacle. We hiked up to find the Batman and Robin pinnacle and I was looking for the 5.6 route. We hiked left and found a left facing flake and a beautiful crack that looked like 5.6 I geared up and climbed the wrong route. It was later deemed a X rated climb.

I to wonder what Climb Corey go on. I was too easy to mistake the flake and not hike left enough to find the 5.6

I am mean no disrespect but I to would like to know what route he was on?

I am glad there isn't anyone claiming to know what happened that wasn't there. I am in favor of learning from mistakes but I think getting the correct facts is the most important part. I lost a friend in a accident and people were coming to me with the claims about what happened that were not even there. I don't want to mention how dangerous some of these rumors became but when your dealing with the loss of life there really is no room for anything besides the true series of events.

RIP COREY
