That's a shame.
I used to guide professionally (classic alpine, not the type of stuff Skinner was known for) but one aspect of his death strikes a chord with me: Skinner was one of the best climbers in the world, and he fell to his death while rappelling. This is a story I've seen again and again, massively talented climbers and mountaineers killed during mundane tasks....it's uncanny.
