He wasn't even killed by his own mistake, another group caused an avalanche that killed him.

Interesting Tag?

Way, way better headlines for this yesterday.

At least he died doing something completely pointless...

Maybe they shouldn't let multiple teams climb at the same time? Just sayin'.

It's been said before, but whatever. Norm McDonald.

In the world of competitive fishing shows, there is a very thin line between Bass Master Champion and just sitting in a boat like an idiot.

Subby, you magnificent bastard. I feel horrible for laughing at that headline.

An extra cube in my drink tonight in his honor!

I regularly go rock climbing in the gym, and occasionally outdoors when it's not winter in Wisconsin, but the idea of ice climbing, to be honest, scares me pretty badly. (I don't have a lot of trust at this point of time in ice anchors, and the idea of a big chunk of ice falling and shearing the rope is scary.)

That guy is likely going to jail.

Stupid Canadian! If he'd had a gun he could have shot the people above him as he plunged to his death, and that would have been awesome!

Hello, well you join us here, just a few minutes before today's big event, the final of the men's Being Eaten By A Crocodile event. Well, the way things are going here at Lufborough, it looks as if Britain could easily pick up a place in the first 700, but nothing's predictable, in this tough, harsh highly competetive world, where today's champion, is tomorrow's crocodile shiat.

That's just cold....

Crazy insane!

Guy was a humble man and an amazing climber. In such activities there are many participants who are possessed by ego especially when you are off the scale talented as Guy Lacelle was. The feats he pulled off are beyond any other athlete by orders of magnitude. My condolences to his friends and family.

/going climbing alone tomorrow, RIP Guy.

Oh yeah. Die in a fire subtard.

I laughed at headline.
Kudos.

it's a fake. has to be because camera doesn't move for over 2 minutes even when they get close to finding him. i don't care how closterphobic it is, i can at least make the camera vibrate.

The solution is to NOT LET ANYONE CLIMB ABOVE YOU. The fastest man isn't going to die.

Not when the snow sets like concrete which is usually what happens when an avalanche comes to a stop. See Bruce Tremper's excellent book for more information.
