I was in Telluride last week and rode up to the falls and Jeff came into my thoughts immediately. He will be missed but never forgotten. His vision was years ahead of anyone else.
Deepest condolences to all his friends and family.

Pride of Ogden, Utah, my birthplace. Went to a slideshow of his at Weber State years ago. I remember him saying, “I tried it twice with Twight, wow, that’s a tongue twister!” (while speaking of Nuptse attempts if i recall).
His influence is everywhere. What a humble badass! RIP Jeff.

I watched Metanioa this morning and found it to be a good biography and very entertaining as well. It appears to be a very good tribute now that he is gone.
America is now euologizing John McCain but Jeff was a much bigger hero to us.
I have 2 questions.
Jeff was one of the prime movers in Cdn Rockies alpinism in the 70's. Did he ever make an attempt on the Emperor Face on Robson? He certainly would have had an eye on it.
How many total pitches have been climbed by the crew in Ron's photo?

Aaaahhhhh, Jeff....your early departure has made me very sad. Like watching a good friend sail off on a much-anticipated voyage, it has caused my heart to both grieve and celebrate simultaneously.
I am so glad you are free now.
But I need to go cry a little...
Vaya con dios, mi amigo.
Forever your friend and admirer,
L

Phenomenal climber and an inspiration, writer, equipment designer, badass first ascentionist. Really enjoy his DVD biography Metanoia. Way ahead of his time doing hard mixed climbing and then writing about it. I have so many of his brother’s Lowe packs and camera bags. I did get to see him in person at the AAC meeting here in San Diego many years ago.
RIP Jeff Lowe (“Jello”)
Too many great climbers passing away ... Charles Cole 3, Tom Frost, Jeff Lowe ... it’s very sad and overwhelming 😢

Meeting Jeff in Eldo a long time ago was meeting one of my heroes. You always got the
impression from him that desire is the most important element in cold climbing.
Huge respect!
