Dru Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 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.

PaulB Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 ...fell 35m from the approach to Carlsberg Column in Field on Saturday. As I understand it, he slipped while traversing an icy slope (he was wearing crampons) on the way to the climb, which caused him to slide off a 10m high cliff and into trees and a boulder field. A sad reminder that deadly accidents don't just happen on climbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
