Climber carrying group's gear falls to death, stranding others in Colorado gulch
The climber who fell was carrying 'most of the group's climbing gear,' and they were left stranded on the 'Hasta la Vista Amichi' sport climbing route in Officers Gulch, Summit County Sheriff's Office said in a July 29 post on Facebook. The route is a bolted sport climbing route rated at 5.7, meaning it's for advanced climbers, officials said.
Rescuers responded to the accident around 11 a.m. and pronounced the fallen climber dead at the scene, officials said.
They evacuated the two stranded climbers and later recovered the fallen climber's body. Officials haven't yet released the climber's identity or cause and manner of death.
'This is a tragic loss, and our hearts are with the climber's family and loved ones,' Sheriff Jaime FitzSimmons said in the post, adding that he was grateful to rescuers 'for safely evacuating the surviving climbers and recovering the victim.'
Officers Gulch is about a 75-mile drive southwest from Denver.

Kelley Wolf Struggles to Enter Family Home on Instagram Live After Husband Scott Wolf Drops Restraining Order Against Her
Kelley documented her attempt to get into their home alongside police officers on Instagram, which her 16-year-old son Jackson later called "insane"NEED TO KNOW Kelley Wolf recorded her attempts to enter her family's home nearly two weeks after her estranged husband Scott Wolf dropped a restraining order against her A spokesperson from the Summit County Sheriff's Office confirms to PEOPLE that they responded to a 'keep the peace' call on July 29 and escorted Kelley around the home as she attempted to get inside Her 16-year-old son Jackson later responded to her Instagram video, writing, 'This is insane mom what are you doing"Kelley Wolf is documenting her struggle to get inside her family home nearly two weeks after her husband Scott Wolf dropped his restraining order against her. In a video shared on her Instagram on July 29, the author and public speaker — who announced her split from the Party of Five star last month — documented her attempts to enter the Park City, Utah home with police present. Before arriving at the home, Kelley, 48, said she was 'under the impression that I have done everything humanly possible to retrieve some basic items from my home." 'I'm currently about to meet up with a deputy of Summit County who's going to escort me into my home so I can get some money that I have saved,' she claimed, later adding, 'I have just had enough... I'm sick of being treated like I'm crazy." As she exited her car to meet the officers, she expressed that she was unhappy with the public perception of what was happening. 'I have a sassy attitude, my God, but being called things like grandiose, bipolar, schizophrenic, crazy, being banned from places I've been forever is just rude, honestly,' she said. She added that there was a no longer active restraining order as well as 'two involuntary holds.' 'I have to now prove myself and [I] did nothing except ask for a divorce,' she shared as she attempted to enter a security code at the front door. 'I'm sure y'all have seen this before, but wrong lady, because I don't back down.' As she attempted to gain entry through the garage, she recalled her father's advice, saying, 'My dad taught me [to] keep cash. You know, just keep cash. And since I now owe a lot of lovely people a lot of money back, I've never asked for $1 in my life.' Though the garage door opened, she wasn't able to get inside the home. She then claimed she wanted to file for divorce before her estranged husband. 'I just want to get a few things… I tried to do this as peacefully [possible],' she alleged. 'I've called you guys eight times in January saying I didn't feel safe, but [Scott] beat me to the punch. Apparently, I tried to file, but if somebody files before you, they can do a lot of weird stuff.' As she continued to try to find a way into the home, she opened about the toll of being in the public eye. 'We're both famous, just that's the part that sucks…' she said. 'It's embarrassing.' She removed a window screen and attempted to push another window open as the officers called Scott, who did not answer. The video concluded with her saying that she would be 'be right back." In response to the video, her 16-year-old son Jackson wrote in the comment section, 'This is insane mom what are you doing.' PEOPLE has reached out to Scott's rep and attorneys for comment. Police have since confirmed that they were present for the situation in a statement to PEOPLE. A spokesperson from the Summit County Sheriff's Office confirms to PEOPLE that they responded to a 'keep the peace' call on the morning of July 29. 'The original call came in at 7:53 in the morning," the spokesperson says. "The deputy did not meet with them at the residence until 9:45, and the deputy advised that the complainant had left the scene at 11:34.' Police confirm that Kelley indicated she "needed to gather items at the house" and escorted her around as she tried several ways to enter the home. However, Kelley was unsuccessful in her attempts as the spokesperson says, "It appeared that the locks on the house had been changed." Per officials, Kelley 'made some phone calls to family, had some conversations with family [but] still wasn't able to gain access into the house and ultimately left.' She "never made contact with anyone" that might have been in the house and it is not known whether anyone was home at the time. "We didn't have any contact with anyone [who might have been at the residence]. But we were never inside either," the spokesperson says. "We wouldn't know definitively, but we have no reason to believe that there was anyone there." The spokesperson also adds: "The complainant did mention that there was a court order in place. As a standard procedure in these types of cases, our deputy did search for any types of orders that would bar or prohibit the complainant from being at the residence, and they were unable to locate any existing orders." The video comes nearly two weeks after Scott's restraining order against her was dismissed on July 19 amid ongoing divorce proceedings. According to court documents reviewed by PEOPLE, the July 15 temporary stipulated agreement includes provisions around custody, a temporary restraining order, visitation, finances and communication. The 57-year-old actor was granted temporary sole physical custody of their three children Jackson as well as Miller, 12; and Lucy, 11, while Kelley was granted "liberal" supervised visitation with her children. Kelley was allowed supervised parenting time as coordinated by counsel, and three supervised video or phone calls per week with the children during reasonable waking hours. If the court-appointed guardian raises concerns, all parties must reevaluate whether supervision remains necessary. Kelley is also allowed to respond if the children initiate additional contact. The agreement also included a social media gag order too. Neither party may post about one another, their marriage, children or the divorce, nor allow any third party to do so. The ultimate goal, the agreement claimed, is for Kelley to eventually regain unsupervised parenting time. Read the original article on People

Scott Wolf's estranged wife, Kelley, calls out alleged ‘police brutality' after second ‘involuntary hold'
Scott Wolf's estranged wife, Kelley Wolf, claimed she was a victim of 'police brutality' after being placed in an 'involuntary hold' again. 'I was held for 7 days and they tried to keep me for 90. I will not be quiet anymore. I cannot be quiet anymore,' she claimed via Instagram Stories Saturday while sharing a photo of her bruised arm. 'This is from the police. I will get myself safe but I'm asking for help. Thrown down stairs. Broke my wrist, Contusions on my head. I'm bruised everywhere and I literally was released last night. This is the SECOND time.' 'Summit county police took me from Sundance on July 6. I was in a hot tub. Placed me on an involuntary hold at Summit county Behavioral health. The truth must be told,' she continued alleging. In a second post on her Stories, Kelley declared her love for her kids and pleaded for assistance. 'I love my kids. I'm not crazy,' she wrote, referencing the children she shares with Scott: Jackson, 16, Miller, 12, and Lucy, 11. 'I need help. And I want my kids back. That's all for now.' In a statement to Page Six, a spokesperson for the Summit County Sheriff's Office denied that an officer from their department was involved in any police brutality incident with Kelley. 'The Summit County Sheriff's Office is aware of several photographs and social media posts circulating that inaccurately claim 'Summit County Police' responded to an incident at Sundance on July 6, including allegations of a confrontation involving Summit County law enforcement,' a spokesperson from the Summit County Sheriff's Office told us Monday. 'Sundance Resort is not located within Summit County, and therefore, no law enforcement agency from Summit County, including the Summit County Sheriff's Office, would be involved in incidents occurring there,' they added. 'I can confirm that the Summit County Sheriff's Office was not involved in any response to Sundance on July 6.' Kelley's post came two weeks after Scott, 57, was granted temporary sole physical and legal custody of their three kids. The 'Party of Five' alum was also granted a restraining order against his estranged wife, 48. Per court docs obtained by People, Scott claimed Kelley has 'engaged in an escalating pattern of behavior that poses a substantial threat of immediate and irreparable harm to the parties' minor children.' Last month, Kelley announced she and the 'Doc' actor were divorcing after 21 years of marriage. 'It is with a heavy heart that Scott and I are moving forward with the dissolution of our marriage,' she wrote via Instagram on June 10. 'This has been a long, quiet journey for me—rooted in hope, patience, and care for our children. While I will not speak publicly about the details, I feel peace knowing that I've done everything I can to walk this path with integrity and compassion.' Kelley then referred to her estranged husband as 'one of the best fathers [she's] ever known and one of the best partners a woman could have the privilege of sharing life with.' However, three days later, Kelley was detained and taken to the hospital on an 'involuntary hold' after allegedly making 'concerning' remarks to a family member. The certified life and personal development coach also accused Scott of 'abusing' her.
