Fuck!!! - Last Words. At least they went out with a bang.

I get your point Justin..you weren’t being disrespectful..these two were likely free-climbers & fully aware of the risks involved while climbing El Cap w/ limited safety precautions..these types of climbers would undoubtedly prefer to go doing exactly what they love. No question.
-
I never understood how climbers can take such risks with families at home. But hey, that’s just me. It’s their call.
-
Yeah...I’ll stick to lower risk activities...skiing, surfing, etc...I’m good not jumping out of perfectly good airplanes or climbing a 3k foot sheer-faved granite wall...but free climbers are a different breed and it’s pretty amazing stuff. It’s their lives.
-
You could die basically just doing what you always do. But I have to admit I was chuckling at your idea of LOW RISK sports. Imo skiing and surfing are not low risk. But I burn for the waves too my friend

-
Indeed...there’s risk in all we do...oh, and note that I carefully used ‘lower’ (v. low) risk! Candidly, sometimes I’m not sure how I survived some of the stuff I once did...definitely mellowing with age.
-
I‘m sorry, I must have overread the ‚er‘. I guess you have a couple of guardian angels up there! Take care!!
-
All good...be well!

Wear parachutes

Its forbidden in the park to wear a parachute. 6 months emprisonement many skydivers die to open the chute as late as they can for not to be seen for rangers

This forum post appears to suggest he's ok. It's a terrible tragedy in any case http://www.supertopo.com/climbers-forum/3093022/Death-on-El-Cap-Freeblast-this-morning …
