Climbing Influencer Dies During Livestream After Fall from Yosemites El Capitan
He was repelled right off the end of his rope and fell to his death from the top of El Capitan. A 23-year-old climbing influencer died while live-streaming as he scaled El Capitan, a famous vertical rock formation in Yosemite National Park. Balin Miller fell during his climb on Wednesday, his mother Jeanine Girard-Moorman confirmed to the Associated Press. 'He's been climbing since he was a young boy,' she said. 'His heart and soul was truly to just climb. He loved to climb and it was never about money and fame.' On Facebook, the heartbroken mom added: 'It is with a heavy heart I have to tell you my incredible son Balin Miller died during a climbing accident today. 'My heart is chattered in a million pieces. I don't know how I will get through this. I love him so much. I want to wake up from this horrible nightmare.' Tributes have poured in for Miller, while shocked viewers who were following his adventure have expressed their shock at watching the fall on the TikTok stream. One fan who had been following his journey over four days revealed she was watching online when the horrifying accident took place. 'He made it to the summit but he had to retrieve his bags as they got stuck on a rock as he was hoisting them up. As he was trying to retrieve the bags he fell to his death all caught on the livestream,' Michelle Derrick posted on Facebook. The National Park Service said in a statement that it is investigating the climbing accident and added that 'park rangers and emergency personnel responded immediately'. Fall is at 3:39:40 Link https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...er_dailymailus  ·  ·  · |

He did that fast rope like a seal… that was just way too reckless. Mercy on his soul and I pray for his family.

Close-up but still a bit anticlimactic...

Re: Climbing Influencer Dies During Livestream After Fall from Yosemites El Capitan
I was wondering what went through his mind when he fell, but then figured that he probably hit the ground before he realized his mistake. BUT... According to chatgpt it would take about 13 fucking seconds to hit the ground from a 900m fall. 13 entire seconds to realize what's about to happen. Poor kid. That can't be right. 13 seconds seems way too long. But I don't smoke math. |
