Damned, very sorry about all this, Lucas sounds like he was a great guy and lived life to the fullest. Many on this planet would love to have had just a little of that. My sincerest sympathies to Lucas' family and to you Greg. That is some tough stuff to deal with, hope in time you can all heal as much as someone can in this type of situation, very sorry for your loss.

Thank you for your kind words. I am doing well. I have some of his strength, not sure how. He was such a huge impact in my life, still is. What a guy.

Greg, I too heard you talk in Idyllwild yesterday. I continue to be amazed at how you are able to conduct yourself with such grace, compassion, and eloquence. With realness. It reveals something deep that seems beyond your years. I think you may be onto its source as you noted above... that somehow you are now carrying a bit of Lucas' strength with you.
Being and remaining present with it all, the sadness, joyful and funny memories, etc. and letting that all just be with you as it comes has to be a good thing.
I didn't know Lucas, but gosh, just seeing how much he affected (and continues to affect) people I do know (even if just a little), has had a great impact on me these past few days.
Peace to you and carry on.
Eric

Greg,
I am so sorry. It is me mike the the lineman that would always come to see you guys at the shop in the afternoons and talk about climbing. Lucas will be missed. He was real good guy. I can't believe this happened. I really hope you and his family are doing ok. I am having hard time writing this with the feelings I have. I was just talking to Lucas at vital gym last Wednesday. I asked him when he was working next so he could help me with some new climbing shoes. I am so sorry for your loss.
Mike

I've climbed long enough to have had to deal with my share of climbing tragedies but this one shook me to my core. I was so proud of Lucas and knew he would do great things wherever life's path took him. Such a loss. I am so sorry.

Greg I am so sorry for your ordeal and for your loss. I have no words really, just wanted to share in your grief as a member of the tribe.
"The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand"
Psalm 37:23-24
Take care man,
Scott

When peace like a river, attendeth my way,
When sorrows like sea billows roll;
Whatever my lot, Thou hast taught me to know,
It is well, it is well, with my soul.

Greg-
Although we've never met, we are friends in this life together, brothers through climbing. Your loss is ALL our loss. I tear up as I write this. "Condolences" is a pretty lame word in this instance, but I'll revert to it for lack of anything better...

Greg,
I do not know you, had not met Lucas. But I do know and feel for his dear mother. I am certain Lucas was a good soul and expert at his passion, climbing. We who know his mom are so very heartbroken. You and the others who were there for Lucas did all you could; this was truly a tragic accident beyond anyone's control.
Blessings to you and to all who were there for your good friend. I do not say this lightly: Know that Lucas is now in the heavens, and a guardian angel for you and fellow climbers.
