I haven't seen anything on MP about this. Just wanted to bring it to the community. I know I've spent a lot of time in the canyon.

It looks like a climber died after a long fall in Black Velvet Canyon, most likely while rapping. The fall may have been witnessed by a party on Triassic Sands.

Fox News calls the man a 'hiker'. He wasn't. The news is his brother was climbing close to him. I have two beloved brothers.

My prayers go out.
