Some discussion and a little more info on this thread:
http://www.gunks.com/ubbthreads7/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/40557/page/1/fpart/1
Apparently, this was on or near Three Pines, a popular, easy route.
Very sad; condolences to all.

Wow, this is very unfortunate - very young, I really feel for his family.
I wish they would have more technical details as to what happened in the article.

An update on gunks.com explaining the groundfall:
http://www.gunks.com/ubbthreads7/ubbthreads.php/ubb/showflat/Number/40557/page/1/gonew/1
"The leader put in a piece 10 feet up, and then, because it was easy ground, continued 20 feet up beyond it.
...
because of the run-out, it was groundfall."
