Can't believe this is real. Fly free Dean, a true legend and inspiration.

That segment of Dean soloing the Nose on Masters of Stone 5 was one of the most inspiring videos I have ever seen. Dean made a profound impact on the sport and really lived his passion fully. So sad he has left us...

Let's wait until there is confirmed information before posting details. There have been a bunch of different names given for the second person, which could be needlessly upsetting for some if in error.

According to the "Outside" article (link provided upthread), Whisper was not with him and lives on.

Damn. Really sucks. If you haven't seen Valley Uprising, check it out.
