Another climbing tragedy out of Colorado as an 18-year-old man died after falling from the First Flatiron on Sunday while on a solo climb. The Denver Post reports the man was found near the bottom of the First Flatiron and was declared dead on the scene.

He appeared to have suffered “massive trauma” during a fall. Investigators believe he was climbing alone and also believe the man posted a picture on social media from near the top of the First Flatiron shortly before the fall was reported.

Our thought and prayers are with the climbers family and friends.
