That piece by Yo is priceless! Loved every minute of it even if some of the pics are gone now.

I remember meeting George Lowe at the Cookie back in the '70s. We were racking up for something when some guy comes running down the road toward us. "George Lowe is coming! It's George Lowe!" Now, I knew the name but did not quite understand why he needed to be announced by minions. Anyway, he stopped, we chatted and then he walked to his car.

As for Alex( not related) Lowe... I had the pleasure of hiking and climbing with him a few times in Bozeman, Montana. A gentleman through and through. And I remember thinking his legs were thinner than my forearms but he could power up trails like someone was yardin' him along a rope tow. A nice man and a powerhouse in the mountains.

I don't know, Jeff.
George's done pretty good fer a guy who's first climb was the Tough at Big Rock. Jeez, can that be right?
