Acclaimed American free solo climber Brad Gobright dies Wednesday attempting to descend down the side of a cliff face in El Portero Chico, Mexico.
"Brad climbed for himself because that’s who Brad was, a climber," wrote Maison Deschamps, another Gobright climbing partner."He didn’t have to talk to people, he didn’t need the best sponsors, all he needed was the freedom of the climb. Rest In Peace Brad. I will forever remember your hard work and bravery."
It is the second fall of a high-profile climber in less than two weeks.
Solo climbing recently gained a higher profile after the release of the Academy Award-winning documentary"Free Solo" last year. These climbers train and plan to scale dangerous rock faces without the aid of ropes or harnesses.Phil McCausland is an NBC News reporter focused on the rural-urban divide.
