Grant Cline, an 18-year-old Yosemite Hospitality employee from Texas, died rock climbing at Royal Arches in Yosemite National Park. A GoFundMe campaign raised funds for his family and Friends of Yosemite Search and Rescue. Cline had a passion for climbing since age 14 and was involved in his school's theater and law programs. The National Park Service has not confirmed his identity, and there is an ongoing investigation into the incident. This follows another tragic death of a Yosemite Hospitality employee earlier this year.
"Climbing wasn't just a passion, it was how Grant connected with the world. He found joy in feeling small beneath towering cliffs, peace in nature's quiet beauty, and purpose in pushing his limits."
"We are deeply saddened by this tragic climbing accident," said Sheena Weinstein, a spokesperson for Aramark, expressing condolences to Cline's family.
