Another article, and apparently a photo of the location.

He was an amazing human being.

Does anyone have details? I'm assuming/hoping they'll be posted soon

Hard to tell from the photo, but does anyone know if that's the same notch shown at 2:25 in this video? (and again at 2:55):

No info?

It would be great if there are any takeaways or lessons from this incident if anyone has anything to share.

Super gnarly low technical proximity lines will eventually kill you. Period. No one is immune to this fact.

This kind of answer match for a lot of the last fatalities but doesn t help to learn something about, the goal of this forum.
It s not the place by itself only who killed him because he already jumped there. So an "error" was made, pushing it too far, wind, burble (multiway), something specific to this place, etc...
There re always something to learn or to remind.
Thanks

I disagree and like hjumper33 said, if you jump jumps like this where only a small deviation of plan A will kill you, then the risk of going in is a very realistic. Period, no need to try to find a reason on every fatality. A thing you can learn from fatalities on very technical jumps is that you need to know that it does not take much to go in on a jump like that.

I know "technicals" jumps allow less margin of error than easier one and like you said "only a small deviation of plan A will kill you" so the question is what was this deviation? If it s just him pushing too far so ok, i agree there re nothing to learn

We can all sit here an assume what went wrong but at the end of the day unless the people who were on the jump Write something then we will never know ,

Maybe the jumpers on the load don't even know themselves that is why they do not discuss what happened..

So far all we know it was a 3 way with a technical exit that ended in 1 wingsuit fatality...

From what I know it was an extremely technical line with multiple dynamic turns low to the ground. Possibly didn't anticipate a quick turn early enough. I'm sure the jumpers that were there will post something if they think there is anything to be learned. It was a prolonged and painful rescue that sar actually deemed too dangerous to continue, so friends/climbers went up and retrieved him.
