I finally decided to post a picture of my lost loved one here. Not for sympathy, but to honor the woman who accompanied me through many years of the life we built together. Maybe this is also another step on the path to closure? But this is also to honor those others who have had a loss. I Made a promise to myself and indirectly to Anne, that she should be remembered as a climber--which was probably her driving force in life before her illness.
A few biographical details: She was also a chemical professional, having won the 1973 North Carolina State Science Fair her Senior year of HS, and was a 1977 Graduate of Case Institute of Technology with B.S. in Chemistry. As a climber, was incredibly strong and smooth on steep rock. Some of her better accomplishments: Butterfly Crack, Trashcan Rock, Joshua Tree; (5.11c). Gleaming the Cube, Fremont Canyon; (5.12a). Other Side of 40; Fremont Canyon; (5.12a).
She is now wheelchair bound and can no longer read, but still has memories of climbing.
