To the best of my knowledge, Cozzy collapsed while hiking and the event was unwitnessed.
I heard that there was nothing conclusive determined by the autopsy.
I can only surmise that it was related to the massive injuries he sustained and was so valiantly recovering from and that maybe he was pushing too hard too soon.
We've all tried to make some sense of it but the fact is, he's gone and leaves a big empty spot in a lot of lives.
Flying from Toronto to Palm Springs Friday.
Looking forward to seeing everyone at the gathering.
Too bad it take's a friend's passing to bring us together.

Well sh#t. Scott and I corresponded over the last month about getting out and just climbing. Nothing hard and as easy as old and broken bodies can do. It is the getting out that counts, not the grade. These things that we always plan to do and then that we never do and will always regret.Damn!

I wish I could be there to pay my respects. I won't be missed. But I will miss him, his rants, his big heart. I will visit JTree of Squamish soon, and I will think of him as I stare up at the climbs we did and think of the banter shared.....

Scott was always supportive and kind to me even tho I'm not a super climber. He took the time to say something kind and helpful when I was flailing on some route.
I feel honored to have known him and I feel a loss in his passing.

I watched the movie Lone Survivor yesterday evening. A good film. A true story about 4 navy SEALS in combat, and the later loss of a whole Chinook full of SEALS.
I slowed down the credits, because I know some guys from working on a movie long ago. I like seeing them in the credits. Camera guys.
Under stunts was Scott Cosgrove. And there were some hairy stunts in the film. Made me think of him. Sorry he is gone.

I can only choose to see Scott conquering his injury, getting a final chance to love and share with his close peeps and having done that went out in a flash in the splendor of nature, off the the real greatest adventure Stoked to have shared a bit of the journey with you and respect that addressing our sometimes differences of opinion actually brought us closer Be free my friend
Peace
