As a climber I look at that and die a little inside. Shame the guy died when it was totally preventable, but really... what did he expect? Nobody is perfect.

That's not true. He died free-falling, where he would leap from the top, with nothing to catch him but his climbing rope and and a series of anchors and pulleys that would stop his 1000 foot jump a mere 150 feet from the bottom. He was a bigger idiot than the ponytail would suggest. And he wasn't a great climber, either. He switched to free-falling after some french guys walked through a route (in one easy pass) that took him 50 attempts to set.

He's dead now... during a similar action he missed a step

Geez. Seriously? You're going to criticise the guy for having a ponytail? Grow up! He worked hard, it's a great achievement, what's the matter with you people?

Speed climbing is like seeing how quickly you can gorge down a fine meal. A pointless way to ruin a fine experience.

yeah, sorry but this guy is a class A prat. He worked out his routes slowly before doing it at speed, the routes are fairly easy, but more to the point, he has a horrible ponytail. And yep, he fell and died one day.
