When the media addresses climbing they NEVER get it right. Are we to assume they get things we are less knowledgeable right?

The guy is obviously not a clean climber.

I knew this thread would draw a gun related comment within 10 posts.
Anyway, what a crazy crime. Who brings a claw hammer to go climbing? Were they pulling vegetation out of cracks or something?

a man is dead, horrible
the suspect claimed he "found" the claw hammer off the trail?
he was arrested in New York two days later, far from the crime site
claimed they had an argument....

Yeah Crunch, I remember your stories of that ascent. Still the most epic sufferfest I have heard of on the Captain, at least where no one died!
Hope you're doin' well, old buddy!

Hammer the point home that this isn't about guns.
Sure, guns got hammers. But when hammers are finally outlawed, only climbers will still have a few stashed.
I'm an old drunken "hammer."

What about all the "attempts at Suicide" we keep hearing about in the climbing media, huh?
No one suggests that is a problem. How narrow-minded. :0)

Unless in an act of protection, I don't see how anything can be worth killing another.
In fact most fights I see are about small stupid issues, egos and yeah, egos. C'mon folks, when are we all going to get tired of being angry and miserable and find excuses for being happy instead. Yes, excuses because really, half the times we are miserable and angry is because we choose it.

Does this mean I need to start carrying a gun when I go climbing in case my partner wants to whack me with a hammer?
Is there a greasemonkey script that shows a person's rap sheet next to their supertopo alias? What about their list of current/previous prescriptions?

guy is 31, hardly a 'youth'
he has a history of mental illness, so i would actually believe his story that he (believed) he was being strangled and responded with violent force. aka paranoid delusions
i hope he is assessed and gets the help he needs instead of ending up in solitary
in any case, he has to live with the guilt that he killed his 20 year friend and climbing mentor.
very sad.

Ron you kind of need to get a life.
Advice I'm sure you'll ignore, but hey just thought you should know you're pretty much ruining it for everyone else here.
Crazy shat about the claw hammer I'm sure there's nothing about that piddly little choss pile worth dying over.

Something a little off-putting about the tone here -- unless you are the sort of person who doesn't mind jokes when one of your friends goes splat --
