Damn, that's some sad news.

I remember talking to Michal briefly at a few of the poster shows here....his his Hell Yeah F*ck Yeah poster from a while ago is so damn wild, I was surprised it wasn't in my favorites gallery already....fixed now.

This is a drag. So sad.

Squamish Chief is a big rock face and area that is a bit of a magnet for climbers, halfway between Vancouver and Whistler.

They have a couple of accidents a year there.

That sucks.

Rest in peace Michal. I had the pleasure of meeting him a few times at the poster shows and even trade prints with him. What a genuine, talented, likeable guy!

Fuckin terrible. I know I've had close calls when traipsing around the wilderness totally stoked on the scene looking to get a better view and realizing I'm a city dwelling human and not a billy goat.

Very sad, RIP.

Damn. I've climbed at Squamish a lot, but it doesn't sound like he was actually climbing...must have been a hidden dropoff on the hike or something..

[Andymac]

a hike here in the bush is not like a walk in the city, where if you you lose your balance or misstep you slip off a curb.

most of the places outside of cities have absolutely no kept trails, guardrails, etc. If it was dark or getting dark...
