Heard the news on the way to the mountains, so sad. Apparently he fell.

that the possibility of something like this happening always felt equal parts inevitable and at the same time impossible, is, i suspect, a large part of why i am left feeling so hollow.



thanks to ueli for fighting a good fight and for the wake that he left behind him.

Sh#t, That sucks. He had such skill and style, and judgement to hopefully survive his ambition. RIP.

Very, very sad! My thoughts are with his family and friends.
I will treasure meeting him in person last fall. What an inspiring human being.

Thanks Robert L. for that quote. I hadn't known that story before but googled it and read it now. Beautiful human indeed. Go to the link to read about the rescue on Annapurna
