Very, very sad news, of the worst sort. Worked with Micah at Outward Bound in the High Sierra for a couple of years- his vitality and energy was infectious, and a great person to have around. Still hoping for a miracle...

Johhny, please come back.
we met in japanese camp in chilean patagonia. i had been hanging there solo until johhny showed up with john merriam just in time for the 100 year flood. we sat in the hut with our shoes on the table in front of us because there was 20 inches of water flowing through! if i had been alone, it would have been miserable. as it was, it was three of the best days of my life hanging with the Johns. shipoopi

this totally sucks.
I met Micah two years ago in Indian Creek. Super cool dude. funny as hell, and did not have an ego.
Never met Jonny or Wade. Jonny seemed like he would be a cool guy.

The body must have been found late yesterday, and now a new search day is beginning.
Prepare for bad news people.
There will likely be more details shortly.
This really sucks.
I still owe Mal for the dinner he bought for the four of us in Moab, and I hadn't even gotten to review the footage Wade got of Layton receiving the Underhill.

Very sad ... here we go again.
Met Micah once at at the creek and had a beer with him. Really nice guy. Deepest sympathy and condolences to family and friends.

This is terrible news. I knew Micah only bit, from being around the Valley, but he is a solid guy.
I hold out the slimmest hopes, though my gut and experience tell me otherwise.
Peace brothers where ever you may be.

Spent a few days at the creek in Micah's compamy a few years back, great climber, great guy, made a lasting impression with his talent, energy and spirit.
Hoping for the best

never met the guys, but I have a lot of respect for the types, tough alpine lines in good style, Colorado boys going big. I heard this from a friend of a friend of theirs, didn't check on the web, cause I was hoping it would all be okay.
I wish the best for everyone involved, and mad thanks for the dirtbag that threw down some cash and a passport. That guy is a hero.
