It was a crazy day today. A climber named Alan was walking down from the base of El cap with his partner after fixing ropes on an aid line  when they walked across a dead body. At this stage we don't know what the story is but he had no climbing gear...no base jumping stuff, as far as the rangers have said it is definitely not a climber or base jumper, most likely a hiker who either slipped (seems crazy that he would be that close to the edge) or jumped...everyone at the bridge was relieved that all the climbers and basejumpers that everyone knows here were OK but its strange, sad and awful...
