Damn. I had just seen Tim recently and we talked about this trip. He and Jason are very experienced. I hope it wasn’t them... RIP and I feel for the families and friends.

Tragic and sad news. Sounds like these lads were quite competent... something freaky happened, that's for sure.

Just saw a post on Facebook from Tim’s wife about a haul bag dropping and pulling the guys off.

Holy crap. If the report of a dropped haul bag is true, I feel horrible not only for the fallen but also the people that dropped the bag. That is a weight they will carry for the rest of their lives.

Sad day in the Meadows. Condolences to the monkeys' families.
There is a party on The Shield now. Bag dropped from there?
The third member of the party was jugging below and survived. Speculation of simul climbing because they were found at base roped together. Unconfirmed.

This is a huge, monstrous loss.
For those who may not know, Jason owns the current speed record for climbing the Naked Edge here in Boulder with Stefan Griebel.

A haul bag falling off the Shield, and clobbering people on Free Blast sounds like the worst possible nightmare for El Capitan climbers. Even a dropped water bottle is a seriously dangerous missile up there.
Not that this makes things any easier for the bereaved families, but a third climber, who survived, might be able to explain what happened, and that might help prevent it from ever happening again.
