Climber Accused Of Murder In Carderock Death

Bizarre and sad story at Maryland's Carderock:

A Virginia rock climber has been charged with manslaughter after allegedly attacking a man with a claw hammer at Carderock Park in Montgomery County.

A reader had emailed me about this a couple weeks ago under the initial assumption that the deceased, Geoffrey 'Carderock Geoff' Farrar, had died in a climbing accident.

 That was obviously sad enough, but to have it take this kind of turn is even more unfortunate.
