"It can be scaled in two days overnight either along a ledge or vertically," Enrique Guadarrama, spokesperson for Nuevo León state police told the outlet."We can confirm the death of U.S. citizen Brad Gobright in Mexico on November 27, 2019," a U.S. State Department official said. "We offer our sincerest condolences to his family on their loss. We are closely monitoring local authorities' investigation and are providing all appropriate consular assistance.
Members of the climbing tribute have been sharing their shock and sadness over Gobright's death. Acclaimed rock climber, Alex Honnold, the subject of the Oscar-winning documentary "Free Solo" was just one of the climbers who paid tribute. "I'm so sorry to hear that @bradgobright just died in a climbing accident. He was such a warm, kind soul - one of a handful of partners that I always loved spending a day with," Honnold captionedof Gobright, above. "I suppose there's something to be said about being safe out there and the inherent risks in climbing but I don't really care about that right now."
"Brad was a real gem of a man," he added. "For all his strengths and weaknesses at the core he was just a good guy. I guess there’s nothing really to say. I'm sad. The climbing world lost a true light. Rest in peace..."
