I always hate to hear of someone falling. So sad.
Is there a report on the accident anywhere (a link) other than the Go Fund Me
page?
Thanks and Stay Safe,
Gary kk0sd

Not good. Would the owners homeowner insurance cover this?
Sadly it sounds like the climber was using outdated and poorly maintained gear.
