I've been to the Grinnell Overlook a number of times. I've also climbed well up into the rocks on either side of the overlook.
How do you fall from the overlook unless you're doing something
stupid...
OR doing something that you shouldn't do because you don't have the experience required to do it?
Yes, I know that "accidents happen".
However most accidents of this nature happen because people do things that
they know well that they shouldn't.
I hope the park service will release the details of this death. It may help prevent someone else from dying.

I took this 5 image pano after scrambling to a point about 250feet
above and south of the Grinnell Glacier overlook.
Not a place for the inexperienced or the faint of heart.
