Very sad. It's a great place and any ascent is quite testing.
I think the standard route (? the Direct Ascent) is about grade 5. The hardest bit is near the start if I remember correctly but it's exposed for a long way and not much chance of stopping if you fall without a rope.
I think that makes 3 deaths on it to date.
