you’ll appreciate the life-and-death gamble that climbing can be. That was put in sharp focus this week by the news that world-renowned American climber Brad Gobright died on Wednesday attempting to descend a cliff face.
Alex Honnold, who in the film became the first person to complete a ‘free solo’ ascent of Yosemite rock face El Capitan, led tributes to the 31-year-old Gobright in an Instagram post. “I’m so sorry to hear that @bradgobright just died in a climbing accident. He was such a warm, kind soul – one of a handful of partners that I always loved spending a day with,” Honnold wrote. “I suppose there’s something to be said about being safe out there and the inherent risks in climbing but I don’t really care about that right now. I’m just sad for Brad and his family”
