For me this spiral of sadness started in Feb of 04 with the tragic loss of Red Rock local Jules George and has marched on unabated ever since. So many great folks gone.
Please be kind to one another and tell your loved ones how you feel. Peace.

The following friends deaths are some of the reasons my handle is "climbing dropout".
Guy Edwards - Devil’s Thumb, NW face, Alaska 2003
Jim Haberl - Ultima Thule, Alaska, 1999
Keith Flavelle - Mount Logan, Yukon 1986
These guys were great people, but sadly, they were driven too hard.
There were things my friends were doing I just didn't want to. I really disappointed a few partners by jamming out on them, some more than once.
I even jammed out of a Yukon rock climbing trip with Daryl Hatten. The list goes on ...

Please add my good friend Jim Anglin. He did alot for climbing in the Northwest and other places.
It's been a couple of years now and just a month ago I let myself erase his phone number from my phone.

hey there say, all... oh my... so many folks... all of which i would have never had the knowledge of, if i had not been here...
sure have knowledge now, and at least i can pray for their folks, kin and loved ones...
and even on occasion, i can share their names and skills, with others that i run into, so these names won't be forgotten in the larger scheme of things...

Erica L Kutcher 1978 - 2005
It has been four years today, four years since that day Erica went missing without a trace from our camp in Pakistan.
With tears staining my face today, I still remember those horrific days of not knowing - the days of searching - the days of hope of finding her alive - my body getting weaker for not sleeping for hundreds of hours on end - doing my best, my all to find her...
Ten days later I again held Erica in my arms, but now she was cold and she didn't move - I talked to her and I tried to warm her - for a couple of days I held her hand and carried her in my arms trying to get her back to the States and her family - all the time doing my best to comfort her and looking out for her...
It was rough - but I loved her so much...
There is not a day that goes by without me thinking about her and our time together.
I MISS YOU ERICA !
