Shawn was one of my early climbing partners. I still have a color print that he made of me bouldering in 1975, he had printed it in his own home color photo lab. Shawn was a exceptionally gifted boulderer, a master of mantles and the thin crack. Condolences to family and friends.

Shawn was really an enthusiastic person when it came to anything he was doing and shared his enthusiasm with everyone, he new how to live life to the hilt. Sad news to lose Shawn at such a young age he was a genuinely positive person, I can remember only fun and good times even when things weren't going to well. Rest in peace brother.

I also have a color print Shawn "processed" in his bathroom sink. Ever see the pics he took at the San Diego zoo? He had a great eye.

RIP Shawn!
Very sad news about a very talented person. Seemed like what ever Shawn did (climbing, music, photos) he did better than average. I feel sad I will not get to see him again.

Shawn was an ultra talented guy. I will miss him. I'm sure he is tickling the ivories in a better place. Anyone who heard him play his tune Toulumne knows.

Shawn was allways gung-ho for everything, partying, climbing, music or a good old desert "moonlight run". See ya later.

I wish I had only one of Shawns talents, a great friend, musician, photographer, climber, brother and person. I can't remember if I laughed harder when the fish was talking or Shawn, He did have some great one liners. Those of us who were lucky to have known him will greatly miss him.
see ya in the next one Shawn

I must post a picture that I think my man Shawn would have gotten a hoot from! It's from a good mate from England named Spaceplant and is entitled "Sharing a joke with Buddha"

I'd like to give a shout out to everyone who knew Shawn to send out your prayers or good vibes today! It's his birthday and his ashes will be spread at Mt. Shasta today, it was his spiritual home!

I am guessing that this isn't Metolius Shawn?? I'm sorry to hear of the passing of another great climber eventhough I didn't know him. Condolences to all his family, loved ones, and past partners!!
