This is an ongoing story at Supertopo and elsewhere but the gist is Michael Reardon was swept off a sea cliff in Ireland by a rogue wave (after completing a deep water solo I believe) and is missing at sea. I think it happened sometime yesterday and as more time elapses his chances get worse.

Let's hope for the best.

Positive vibes to his wife and young daughter.

Again I wish the best for him and his.

Bummer... it looks like they have called off the search.

When I met him, he was a very nice guy and full of energy. Its sad to see him go like this, especially since he is leaving a wife and daughter behind.

Apparently from all that knew him Mike was absolutely full of life. My thoughts go out to his wife and daughter.

Its been a hard year or so for the climbing world….

This sucks. He came and did a slideshow nearby not too many months ago and went out afterwards for some beers with a big group of us. He was really quite inspiring, full of energy and excitement and fun. I'm so sorry for his family and friends.
