06-05-2007, 04:05 PM #31I hate to say this.... but for the extremely small number of folks participating in this sport the fatality rate seems pretty high to me... barely two years ago we lost two in Choprock. And was it last year one in Behunin...
Anyway, the news gets worse. This was popular canyons group member desertres group. He request waiting before speculation and rumors start. The post is below.
