I am sad to read today that someone died at Rumney last week.

Are there any more details?

My condolences to the family.

I wonder whether he fell while bouldering.

out of consideration for the friends and family, perhaps it would be a good idea to restrain from speculating about whether or not this was an accident until confirmed information is made public.

condolences to his friends and family.

>The reports on NEclimbs from Fish and Game is that it was not an accident. sad

Sorry, It was on the google group's thread about it. I got them mixed up.

Any more info on this?

its sad to see that .so close to home

The loss of Tom is tragic, I personally did not know him but do know a few of his friends, they are deeply saddened by his loss. I know as a climber seeing the loss of a fellow climber, at my local climbing area, is a feeling I hope nobody ever has to experience.

My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

Folks, no matter the cause of death lets just pay respect to his family, friends and the life he lived. Do that for him and his family.

matt.what a nice post,im keeping his friends and family in mind as well.where did this happen in rumney?was it on the upper part of the mountain?

i've been told this young man took his own life

No sure exactly where it happened but I believe it was in the west end of Blackjack Boulders, because of where they carried him out. It was truly tragic.

So very very sad, no matter how or why it happened.
