It is not Jimmy Chin that was with him, someone else by the name of Jim. I don't know the last name.

So sad, this has been a hard year.

I'm sitting here in shock. I met Todd a zillion years ago at the Cookie, he could not have been nicer or more psyched. I will never forget that moment, and I could not be more sad to hear of this tragic news. So sorry to all...

Werner, sorry to hear such sad tidings about Todd. I know it's hard on you to bring any of us home under such a circumstance, but I'm glad it's one of our own that does. I just want to thank you again for all that you and your comrades do. My condolences to Todd's family and friends...
[ Edit: It's just been a damn tough year all the way around. ]

Thank you Werner for the edification on this. I was hoping this was a hoax. Todd was one the most cheerful and happy climbers I have known.
My heart goes out to his family.
Edit: In my earlier post I noted that Jimmy Chin is in Nepal and that trolling about death in the realm of climbers was not good. I apologize for doubting this. I am sad.

Like a lot of others here, Todd was and is one of my role models. I'm very sorry to hear this sad news, but at the same time, very glad to hear that his partner is all right.
Sincerest condolences to his partner, his family and friends.

Others will say it better, but Todd was one on the funniest, most psyched, and upbeat guys I've ever encountered in the sport. The energy man... it was all about the energy, and he had it. Such a sad loss. Sincerest condolences to all.

One of the things I really liked about Todd was that he was kind and friendly to all climbers, regardless of their ability. Todd had so much positive energy it was infectious.
