A climbing influencer fell to his death while livestreaming himself scaling an enormous sheer rock face in California.

Balin Miller, 23, became the third person to be killed in Yosemite National Park this summer.

Fans had watched him climb on a TikTok livestream for two days before his death.

One viewer wrote: “He made it to the summit but he had to retrieve his bags as they got stuck on a rock as he was hoisting them up. As he was trying to retrieve the bags he fell to his death, all caught on the livestream.”

Yosemite National Park’s El Capitan is one of the most striking features of the park, an enormous sheer granite rock face of approximately 3,000ft (915 metres) that entices big-wall rock climbers from all over the world. Alex Honnold completed the first free solo climb of El Capitan in 2017 for the documentary “Free Solo”.
