climbing accident

Tim Klein, 42, along with his climbing partner Jason Wells, died in a tragic accident on El Capitan, Yosemite, on June 2, 2018. Here, Jim Herson remembers his close friend Tim---his incredible capacity for compassion and empathy, and his nearly unparalleled resume on the Big Stone.

The search and rescue operation for the two climbers, missing in the Mendenhall Towers since last Wednesday, was abandoned on the evening of March 13. Marc-André Leclerc was 25 years old and Ryan Johnson was 34 years old.
