    Climbing fatality in Provo Canyon

    http://www.ksl.com/?nid=960&sid=20673751&s_cid=article-popular-1
    PROVO — A BYU student was killed Saturday after falling 70 feet while climbing near the Stewart Falls in Provo Canyon, officials said.

    Adam Perazzo, 22, of Fallon, Nev., was climbing without a rope with a group of friends when he fell, said Utah County Sheriff's Sgt. Eldon Packer. His friends witnessed the fall and attempted to give aid to the man until authorities arrived.

    Packer said responders from the North Fork Fire Department and Utah County Sheriff's Office attempted CPR, but after 45 minutes were unable to revive Perazzo. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
    Sad but... Climbing without a rope...were these "climbers", or some folks goofing around? I found a couple of other articles but they didn't offer much more detail.

    The guy that died had multiple pics on rocks without ropes, on his Facebook. He didn't appear to have any pics with any gear.

    I didn't know him at all, but rest in peace.
