A group of climbers found a man unconscious and not breathing at a Colorado state park, officials said.

The climber appeared to have died after falling Wednesday from Rincon wall in Eldorado Canyon State Park, the Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said.

He was likely climbing with no equipment, known as “free soloing,” when he fell, authorities said.

31 years old what a waste of a life, s very sad.
I climbed once without anything for safety equipment when I was about 20 years old, I still get chills even now when I look at that cliffside. Have no idea why I took the risk, thankfully I made it without any problems.

I think it's about time they installed elevators on those cliff faces.

Too bad, I have done a few foolish things so can relate to the climber. I was luckier.

My climbing is mostly limited to the stairs, and some days that can feel like an accomplishment.

May he rest in peace.

Some people only feel alive when they risk death.
This guy is another example. He was actually a "Speed Climber." He also died young during a different climb:
