Shocking and sad news.

So sorry for your loss.

On a day when there were great triumphs on 14ers, an event of such sorrow occurs. May the fallen climber rest in peace and may his friends and family be comforted.

Sorry to hear about his. My prayers go out to the family. R.I.P.

My condolences to family and friends...

As much as I absolutely love Colorado and climbing the mountains here, this is the one part of it all that I hate...hearing news like this. I wish the family and friends of this individual the best, whatever that is, and hope you all find peace. RIP...

My prayers are with the climber and his family. I'm hiking Evans tomorrow, and will take a moment to remember our fallen brother from the top.

I hate stories like this. It does seem like we're heard it way too much this summer. May this gentleman have peace, and may his family know the comfort of his passing happening while he was doing something he loved....

Our condolences to family and friends.

Very sorry to again hear news like this. My heart goes out to family and friends. May you find comfort in these difficult times.

Slow moving story - has to be a problem with either identification or notification of family.

Name will be released any time. I won't put anything public but if anyone has questions pm me

From Denver Post:

The climber who fell 800 feet to his death while ascending North Maroon Peak Saturday has been identified as a 34 year-old Colorado Springs man, Derek Kelley.

Kelley fell when a boulder came loose, according to Eric Hansen, Pitkin County deputy coroner.

His death was caused by traumatic brain injury.
