There was an excellent article on page 1 of the New York Times sports section yesterday, the best coverage of this whole sad event that I've read so far:

Saw the article and it was very well done, with beautiful photos. And many of the usual  thoughtful but predictable comments.  I spent more time reading the comments on Alex Honnold's facebook page, to understand that side of it.
