There is a thread dedicated to Steven Wallace, the climber, on Mountain Project Forum here.

In the thread people who knew him posted some pics.

This is him and a friend, the climber who died is the one on the bottom.




This is Steven with friends, and the dog in the pic is the one that died with him



EDIT: Just read further down the forum and they quoted another article about what happened "Johnson's dog, which also was attacked by bees, was found dead on top of the ridge where Johnson was rappelling"
