Post your favorite photos of or with Steve and a few words if you want.
I'm sure everyone, especially Steve's family, would love to see more photos of our good friend and climbing legend along with the impact he had on so many people.
I'll start with a few of my favorites
Prayer flags on Capitol peak. No way I could have done it without Steve
Steve was a fine trail breaker and gladly setup a fixed line for us humans to use across the Kit Carson Avenue
Two of Steve's many essentials. His orange hat and a smile
Duct tape. Or Gaiters according to Steve
He hauled fried chicken up for all of us on the summit

Dear Steve,
I sure had a big cry on the summit of Vestal Peak as I remembered you. Thanks for all the help to climb the Centennials.
Sam, Sean & I held our pictures of you from your final climb.
I miss you buddy.

Re: Steve Gladbach Photo Memorial
So tonight I was looking at some old emails to find beta on a route and I came across a conversation I had with Steve several years ago. He was such a wealth of knowledge and I wish I could pick his brain right now! I never had the chance to climb with him directly but his advice was with me on many climbs.
Thank you Steve!
Thank you Steve!
