Re: WyomingBob Memorial
Well WyomingBob was an Atty and here is a news report from Cheyenne. The photo they show on the news report looks like him too.

Re: WyomingBob Memorial
Same age, also. I'd corresponded some with him last year, and he was quite gracious. I would have liked to have done some climbing with him.

Re: WyomingBob Memorial
Damn. When I read about the accident and heard it was a "Wyoming man" it just never occurred to me that it was "WyomingBob".
Never had the good fortune of meeting him, but I too enjoyed reading his "Climbing with Bob" page that contained his numerous and humorous trip reports. They always made me smile.
My condolences to his family and friends. His wisdom and humor will be greatly missed.
Rest in peace....

Re: WyomingBob Memorial
Just awful, I had seen the article earlier and no idea it was Wyoming Bob, he had some great TRs and its a shame to see him lose his life like this.
Just a rough start to summer for all of us.

Re: WyomingBob Memorial
Tragic indeed. Thinking of the family and friends.
Re: WyomingBob Memorial
God. What is going on around here?
Bob was an awesome guy. Good personality. Didn't really put two & two together
until now. No more tragedy.
Prayers to his family in this.

Re: WyomingBob Memorial
I was just thinking the same thing. I loved that guy's trip reports. He was always climbing stuff right before me, so his trip reports were always useful and enjoyable. Ugh.Kiefer wrote:God. What is going on around here?

Re: WyomingBob Memorial
Shaping up as another rough summer. God bless and keep you all. Wouldn't mind seeing fewer of these stories.
Because life's too short to be an indoor cat.

Re: WyomingBob Memorial
I never met WyomingBob, but we exchanged some PMs and I enjoyed his trip reports. He seemed like a good guy. My condolences to his family and friends.
Re: WyomingBob Memorial
Very sad.
I hadn't met Wyoming Bob, but I've enjoyed his TR's.
Seemed like a very down-to-earth guy who really loved the mountains.
Wishing his family and friends peace, healing and comfort.
