Thank you for your concern Macciza but I can assure you everything has been done legally and for the better of the climbing community.

I don't know if the police are likely to post here or not. You can always contact them and ask them about any report and if/when it's likely to be available.

I guess you are right: the police are involved to some degree since there has been a fatality here. I don't think that should not replace "personal responsibility" and "self regulation" though. Personally I think the most appropriate thing at the moment is to get the information out there and ensure there isn't another accident like this.
