This is bad news. There's been alot of deer hits this year. The deer are said to be backed up waiting for the snow to melt to move higher.
Very sad.

Horrible news. John was a great guy. He will be missed not only here on the east side, but in the entire climbing world.

Damn!!!! Terrible news!!!
Just spoke to him and got his blessings last week regarding adding some Anchors to "Armando's Stilletto" on Rites Buttress and a couple of other trad lines in the Pine Creek.
He will be missed by many folks here on the Eastside!

Really sorry to here this tragic news. I met John years ago at B. Harrington's & R. Wheelers house in Bishop one hot August(1978)afternoon. We stocked up on some cold brews, and spotted one another in the shade of various boulders up in the Milks. We had a great time that afternoon...R.I.P. John!

John was a fixture here on the east side, and operated one of the first guide services in this area; Palisades School of Mountaineering.
John was a wealth of information on the backcountry, and a willing mentor to many.
His mark on the eastern Sierra will not be forgotten.

This is really sad. I only met John a couple of times, but I learned a lot. A very, very solid human being.
