With heavy hearts, we would like to extend our deepest sympathies to the friends and family of the climber who passed while climbing at Mount Nemo yesterday. When tragedy occurs, it's easy to want to assign blame and/or criticize actions that took place. To try to prevent speculation, what we know of the events that took place are that an experienced climber was toproping, wearing a helmet, and practicing safe climbing when a large chunk of rock fell, severing the rope. There is no evidence of gear failure or human error. We would like to extend our heartfelt appreciation to the nearby climbers who were quick to take action and assist rescue attempts. Having a community that bands together for strangers in time of need is all we can hope for. We would also like to thank Conservation Halton and the first responders who had procedures in place to help locate climbers at the base of the cliff. We have been in touch with Conservation Halton. Mount Nemo is again closed today. We will update the community if there are any updates. #ontario #climbing #mountnemo
