Jello,
Your deeds are larger than life yet you carry yourself on ST with an understated dignity. Your writing thrills and inspires. You manage to always come across full of positive energy -- and that's not an easy thing to do on an internet forum. Thanks for contributing here.

Jeff, regarding your accomplishments in the realm of climbing
and designing, it should go without saying that what everyone
is saying goes without saying,
but I want to say I Really Love what your write on this forum.
Your insights have been a great blessing for us.

Thanks for all the contributions. There are times when I feel a slight sinking before a climb, when sitting on the couch and thinking about all the things I have to do to get to where I want to be. Still, after beginning, or getting outside, I've repeatedly found it rewarding. I don't live in that place always. Still, more often than not the photos and stories posted here are inspirational, even when I have other obligations or plans.
How is the fund raising for the Ice Park coming?

It was a rare pleasure to meet and talk with Jeff at sushifest, and visit him in Ogden afterward. And to swap messages on occasion.
We're both still trying to figure out where we've met previously.

It took me six month to fully get over Dengue. At sea level.
And the man is even greater than the myth.
There's always room for Jello!

Very pleased to have Jello here. Even if he was a newbie climber, his contributions would be honored, valuable and showing true humanity.
Peace

You'll never know how many nobodys like me from little climbing areas around the globe you inspired. Though I'm just a year or 2 behind you, many of my dreams and goals in life were reinforced by reading about you doing them. Reading your post here on Taco screams of the humble person you are and is just the topping on the flavor of jello that you are.

Jello,
There was a picture of you and Greg L. in Alpinist several issues back. A route where you broke your ankle, with Greg and Michael Kennedy. They went on to climb the Infinite Spur after you got evac'd.
That picture is the best one I've ever seen in that magazine, and there have been some good ones. Crazy wavy beard, semi-serious expressions despite the serious situation, big aviators. I always thought, "Damn, I want to BE Jeff Lowe."
I still do.

Jello strikes me as a really cool dude whose great sense of humor is not corrupted by ego.

Jello...to me you are in the rare air of Gill and a few other climbers who "who walk the walk" and do it with a kind gentle spirit.
Later, Bob

i only know what i've read. for me, the climbing part is second to the integrity it takes to continue to speak up and take a stand despite being a legend.

Well Jeff, back in the '70s I remember our little band from Southern Illinois reading about your exploits and trying to get our pointy little heads around how one might even approach biting, let alone chewing, the sort of things you were swallowing whole at a pretty ravenous rate. Plotting to leave our cozy warm hollers to climb things that rose up from the earth instead of sinking into it just plain made us shiver, shrivel, and want to crawl back in our holes - but we sure enjoyed reading about all your vertical meanderings...
