I was scared for a second there. I thought maybe Jeff had whipped the ass of a certain wannabe lowlife magazine writer who'd gone whining to the cops.

3 cheers. I hope that the increased exposure provides more leverage when working toward all of your endeavors.
I was going to simply say rad! Still, I didn't want to be misunderstood.

Just want to apologize for being so long away from ST. Not a whole lot of energy recently. Tonight, I thought I'd hop back on the Taco-pony. And then I find OUCH is gone.
The wind is out of my sails.
You folks are the best.

hey there ol' jello.. say, we missed you greatly... say, hope you have a most wonderful and sweet sweet time, and say... if my life was all fixed up by nov, i would come and see the "ushering in"---would help if i had folks i knew up here, going down there, though... but all is not that easy...
also, i am still now sure what to do with my quest for a house-loan gone wrong, up here...
will see what happens...
congrats for this wonderful time in your life.. and may the good lord bless, in a surprising new way... :)
three cheers... !

Not to get off topic. I imagine that the induction will come with media exposure that might introduce Mr. Jello to a new, or wider audience. They seem to keep making new climbers. I hope that it provides momentum for the Ogden Park and whatever else he endeavors.
Also, I could use some exposure today, but need to get off my butt and get to the office. Looking to make today a good one.

A well deserved congratulations, Jeff. You'll always be an inspiration. Just think of the Utah kids that can look and see that the athletic realm extends beyond professional spectator sports and those that spend their weekends watching them. Adventure and exploration is still alive and well in the human race.
Congrats again,
Amanda

Congratulations to Jeff for a well-deserved honour!
We climbers and mountaineers sometimes could do a bit better at recognizing those who contribute to our community, and seeing that the public does. It's nice to see something like this happen.
"Jeff Lowe Inducted into Utah Sports Hall of Fame" I guess we better not let them know that we're still arguing about whether climbing is a sport, eh?

Jeff,
It was an honor to finally meet you at Gary's shop just before the Kor show. For all that you have given climbers and climbing, enough praise cannot come your way, whatever the source. Only a handfull of true luminaries in each generation and you are certainly one of my heroes having had a major role in shaping the game that I have played to the best of my abilities and with such rich reward. Good on ya, Jello!
No wild climbs means no wild times for us all! I have always been inspired by and sought out your routes as I can.

Spoke to Jeff tonight but I forgot to ask him about his moose suit.
What is the dress code for the event?
If it is Energy Solutions Arena will they give out free samples of Brazilian nuclear waste?
