Muir Incident
Posted: Wed Jun 20, 2012 2:55 am
Today, a tragic incident involving the death of a climber occurred in Muir Valley. Although the cause of death is being investigated by the Kentucky Medical Examiner, it appears to be due to natural causes. Gear failure and climber/belayer error do NOT appear to be factors in this incident. Further details are being withheld to protect the family’s privacy.
Our hearts go out with deepest sympathy to the family and friends of this climber. We also wish to express our gratitude and appreciation for the efforts put forth by volunteers who helped to assure that emergency rescue services were immediately available.
