Thank you so much to all of you who have responded with messages and donations.
Your support and inspiration means the world to Ian and has lifted his spirits greatly.

I am reposting the fundraiser link here for those who may have missed it the first time.

Let him know that ZM looks just like it has for years, and it will look just like that for years to come. I hear these massive granitic monoliths don't move anywhere quickly and it will be there, waiting for him when he is healed up and ready for some action!

It has been two weeks since my last update. Asking you all to pray to whatever God or power you worship or believe in, for healing and peace for Ian/Charlie and his family. Ian is still in the hospital (after a short two days at home) and has been on life support for 10 days now for lung and heart complications brought on by the pneumonia and also on dialysis for the one good kidney which has failed due to these complications. There have been small improvements and he is fighting with all he has!! They are not dealing with the cancer right now, just trying to get him well enough to get off the respirator and sedation and have a little more time with him.

There have been so many of you who have responded to the FundRazr and/or with messages of healing and inspiration.... his family thanks you from the bottom of their hearts. He's one helluva guy and one helluva fighter. Perhaps our collective healing energies can pull him through, I know he can feel us all.

You are one fantastic community, thanks to you all.

Here's a link to the FundRazr again:

Ditto ^^^^

Best wishes Ian, and fight brother, fight. I lost my closest brother to the Big C on May 18, my sister last year to breast cancer.

Ian, I am pulling for you bro' and sending out the best possible vibes I can.

This pic was mounted with varnish onto a piece of plywood that gives the pic the 'rustic' coloring. From left to right: Ian (Charlie) Gill, ec, Ed Samson, David Ohst. Ian and Richard Leversee ascended some fixed ropes up to Heart Ledges; hauling up all our provisions for our climb of the Salathe Wall, plus a case of beer and other goodies. We climbed the lower half of the route and they met us there. This eliminated a lot of work (and an extra day) on our part by them being 'porters.'
