I just saw on facebook that Julia has passed. She had just posted from Mt Whitney and Lone Pine on friday. I dont know what happened. She was a brilliant climber, a compassionate nurse, a funny and sweet and kind young woman.
There was a climbing accident on the Evolution Traverse.
Condolences to her family, who raised a beautiful young woman who will be greatly missed.
Condolences to her friends, there are so many grieving her loss right now. Condolences to all her co-workers at SFGH.

Very sorry to read this. It's extra sad when our young climbers lose their lives.
Makes me wonder.

Julia really did always have a smile and a fantastic laugh. Already a badass climber when I was a newb, Julia was super cool and hooked me up with a belay staff shirt back in the day at Class5 Climbing Gym. I'd see her around the Bay and at all the climbing destinations. Julia, my thoughts and love go out to you tonight.

Crazy to hear. She was super nice and had a great sense of humor. Recently did the 2nd ascent of one of the new routes routes my friend and I did. Must have happened on the same peak I climbed just a few days prior, while on the Full Evolution Crest Traverse (Haeckel). She was on Evolution Traverse...really really really sad to lose such a positive person from the community.

I didn't know her, but was on Evo the same day or the day after, and watched the helicopter for a good part of the afternoon. Another reminder that death is never far away up there. RIP.

SO very sad to hear this news! Julia was amazing and touched so many people with her smile and energy... from working with her at Class 5 Climbing, to seeing her in the Bay Area she has always been the most positive spirit!
You will be missed Julia!

Terrible news. Although I didn't know her, a loss like this affects us all. She sounds like she was a wonderful gal, and she was often outdoors, getting after that stoke we all seek.
My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.

wasn't it Craig Leubben who said something like: "“I joke that I’ve sacrificed a million dollars from the xxxxx career that I would have had, but I’ve had five million worth of fun. Last year the million would have devalued to 600K, so I’m way ahead.”
Clearly, we lost a really really rich woman on the ET. Saddened to hear of the loss to the tribe with Ms. MacKenzie's death, but inspired and heartened to see these silent crushers living satori, living more in rhythm with the cycles and vibrations of this earth. Goodbye unknown bodhi, and thank you for the model role you lived. May peace be upon those close to you during your life.
