According to report Brad Gobright and his partner Aiden Jacobson, 26, were simul-rappelling the seventh pitch on El Sendero Luminoso, a 15-pitch 5.12+ multi pitch on the front side of the El Toro formation. According to Gino, who was three pitches (approximately 100 meters) above, Gobright and Jacobson were using an 80-meter rope and they had not tied knots in the end. Gobright rappelled off the end of his rope.
