Sara Sandstrom-Kobi, Nederland. On Saturday morning, August 24, 2019, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office received a call about a fallen climber in Boulder Canyon.
A Boulder County Parks and Open Space Ranger and other climbers were the first to reach the 50 year old man from Kansas. He was unresponsive and pronounced dead at the scene.
It was reported that the climber had fallen about 60 feet. He had been climbing with a partner on the Cosmo climbing route. They were looking to descend and when the man stepped near an edge the rock gave way underneath him.
Rocky Mountain Rescue retrieved the body and the incident was investigated by the Boulder County Sheriff’s and Coroner’s offices.
