I donated $50 to the Custer County S&R in Chris and Rob's memory. May you find strength.

We did not have a sign with us but had special thoughts for both (Rob and Chris) on our summit to Capitol Pk. last weekend. May they rest in peace.

Chris has been in my thoughts every day since his accident. We were on the Crestone Peak 3 days prior to his trip. I have been greatly affected by this tragedy and wanted to make sure you know that he is remembered and has been an influence in my life. My hike up Missouri peak was dedicated to him and Rob this past weekend.

First 14er since hiking Castle with Chris last month. We had talked about trying to snag Huron on the way back, but it didn't work out. Was thinkin about him a lot on my way up yesterday.
