about two months ago, Goran's pro failed and zippered out of Air Guitar, a 5.10 I think, decked at 40 feet where his belayer was, and decked another 20 feet after that ledge. There was a thread about it a while back, just search for vantage.
Just goes to show that even your heros are human. RIP Goran.

He was killed in a fall while doing a lead on Air Guitar at the Frenchmen Coulee in eastern Washington state last month. Here's a site that had a lot of in depth detail into what happened. It even has his partner's accident report:
