Story of Man That Fell Off North Maroon Peak

News Link
This is a hard story to read. The guy that was killed had spent years researching deaths on 14ers and had a blog to inform readers of how to avoid the pitfalls. Ironically, after summiting North Maroon, he and a friend were tired and decided to try a "shortcut" down a steep face of loose, rotten rock. It is hard to believe he did this knowing full well that North Maroon's loose rock had killed a couple people each year since the 1960's.
