Ken - Very interesting to hear you were involved in the investigation of Goran Kropp's death. I followed that closely, as it happened nearby and a good friend of mine was a friend of his (he climbed Kilimanjaro with Goran the year before his death). Very sad. I believe Goran's death was the first climbing related death at Frenchman Coulee. Now another person died there just last month during a rappel. As the popularity of rock climbing grows, I imagine we will see more and more accidents at these popular climbing areas.
