Renowned American climber Brad Gobright dies after climbing accident in Mexico.
A famed American climber died in an accident in Mexico, friends and family confirmed to ABC News on Thursday.
While both climbers fell, Gobright seemed to fall significantly farther and Jacobsen suffered lesions on the right ankle and various parts of the body, according to authorities. "Brad dispatched Boulder’s most dangerous traditional climbs, broke the speed record on Colorado’s most famous route — the Naked Edge — and, most notably, climbed ropeless in Eldorado Canyon with a boldness and fervor unlike anything I’d ever seen," Cedar Wright, professional climber and National Geographic explorer, wrote in 2018 for the magazine.
Alex Honnold, who gained fame as the subject of the Oscar-winning film"Free Solo," which documented his historic climb of El Capitan, mourned Gobright’s death online. Gobright's fall is the second high-profile climbing accident in less than a week. World-class climber Emily Harrington fell Monday while attempting to free climb El Capitan on the Golden Gate Route in under 24 hours.
