Re: Maroon Bells Tragedy
Thank you for sharing that Mountain Maverick. Very sad to hear, wishing his family peace.

Mountain Maverick, one of the best "fallen climber" posts I've read. Beautiful tribute to a minute in time on a mountain, and the human stories etched out on their rocky, indifferent faces.
Thanks for sharing

Re: Maroon Bells Tragedy
I want to join in thanking Mountain Maverick for taking the time to compose such a beautiful post. He took an experience with a fallen climber and conveyed it to us in a way that must have touched the hearts of everyone who read it. I know we all try from time to time to theorize in the abstract about the risks involved in mountaineering, but nothing brings it home like this. I did not know Steve apart from these tributes, but I am sure he will be missed and I extend my sincere condolences to his family and friends.
