I'm the guy that had AMS and dehydration on Cathedral. It was an exceptionally hot and dry day. Symptoms can go from mild to life threatening *way* faster than you might think. A thousand thanks to everyone who was kind enough to share what little water they had, especially Jainee - I'm so sorry. I'll share more details when I can; it was hard just to come and read the thread.
Stay safe y'all

I did not know Brad well. I saw him come and go in a relatively small climbing community here in the North Bay. Last night, the monthly Rock Ice and Mountain Club meeting was packed with family and friends of his. Jerry Dodrill presented a fantastic show which included in part his experiences with Brad.
I've always been partial to the outdoors and the community of climbers. Last night helped to crystallize that feeling; as friends and family of Brad, RIM members and locals met to be with like minded fellows. The love and bonds of which were palatable.
I am increasingly blessed to be part of a such a diverse, friendly and giving society. Tragically it takes the passing of one of us to feel the rope that mystically keeps us all anchored to each other. I don't wish to understand the fickleness of fate or the circumstances of its outcomes. It is enough to know that on this web we can all feel each others love and loss.

The finger of fate, my friends, is fickle.
