Re: Missing Climber on Maroon Bells
RIP.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Re: Missing Climber on Maroon Bells
This is a tough loss for the climbing community. We mourn.
It is an even tougher loss, I'm sure, for the paramedic community...and those who he served.
I hope the worthy mission of his life's work brings comfort to those who will now forever miss him.

What a rough month we're having. RIP, Lenny.
Glad the other two were rescued successfully.

“There are two kinds of climbers: those who climb because their heart sings when they’re in the mountains, and all the rest.” - Alex Lowe
"There have been joys too great to describe in words, and there have been griefs upon which I cannot dare to dwell; and with those in mind I say, 'Climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste, look well to each step, and from the beginning think what may be the end.'" - Edward Whymper

RIP Lenny. It sounds like he left this world doing something that he loved. Condolences to his family and friends.
Certainly happy that the other two missing climbers were found safely. Be careful out there.

Re: Missing Climber on Maroon Bells
Peace be on him, his family, his firefighter brethren and all those who loved him. I hate hearing stories like this.
Because life's too short to be an indoor cat.

Re: Missing Climber on Maroon Bells
I'm very saddened to hear of this.
He worked at EMS Station 7 in lower midtown Manhattan, was a good athlete and an Eagle Scout
when younger.
In a sad irony, Lenny spent his career helping and saving the lives of others.
To his family, friends and coworkers: Lenny won't be forgotten.
Rest in peace.

Re: Missing Climber on Maroon Bells
RIP. Recently in Colorado we have had way too many reminders of how short and passing our lives can be! None of us know when our time will be up. Sad that the mountains that we love claim great people every year!
