What an amazing person - Felix Kiernan, RIP. You will be missed buddyWhat an amazing person - Felix Kiernan, RIP. You will be missed buddy.
Fe died on Sunday climbing on the East Buttress of El Cap, after being hit by rockfall. One of the most inspirational people I've ever met. You will be missed.
