I'm a student at Michigan Tech and I met the climber in the week before the fall took place. I was slacklining on campus and he was attempting to set up a top rope in a tree by throwing a rope over a limb about 20 feet. I asked what he was doing and he told me a little bit of his climbing background. Based on what he told me it really sounds like he doesn't have too much of a clue what he was doing.
I just learned of the fall last night from a friend who lives in his dorm. He told me that the climber fell 150' and broke his leg. I can't verify whether this information is accurate or not.
Accident took place on the top of Obsession for those that are familiar with the area. Details still sketchy as to what happen....will post as soon as it is available
