Brent Raymond, Canmore guide and originally from Australia, fell 35m from the approach to Carlsberg Column in Field on Saturday. His helmet was allegedly smashed into tiny pieces by the impact. His partner descended to him, stabnilised him and ran out to the road to get help. Brent was longlined out and taken to hospital and tragically died in hospital from his injuries.

I did not ever meet Brent Raymond in person but from reading his postings on live-the-vision and reports he wrote for Gravsports.com I know who he is and I feel saddened nonetheless. RIP Brent.

Harsh. Warm thoughts in memory ...
