Truely saddening news. Shane is a legend. Thoughts go out to his family and friends.

Just last week there was a post on here highlighting just what Shane does. It was amazing footage-

He died doing what he loved, and although much too soon, there seems no better way to go. Im sure his family was aware of the risks as well, however, that wont ease the loss or the pain. Im so sorry for your loss.....

Best wishes, prayers and condolences to his wife and child- Shane and his pioneering and adventuours spirit will be missed. RIP.

Just thought I'd cross-post the Mtn Proj Shane McConkey Memorial Page.
