SPer Kurt Wedberg who I have hiked with is now on Aconcagua guiding a bunch of people, but I dont think the unfortunate climber was part of the group.
I am sorry to hear about the accident. Here is Kurt's blog --

Kurt just left LA three days ago.

Don't think that he and the clients are any where close to that stage of the game.

Well aware of the risks, 5 died while I was on Denali. We both know the score and the risks we take. Just don't like hearing about it!
