For anyone on this thread that is also on FB, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do NOT say anything. His parents and grandparents do not yet know and this would be the worst way they could find out.

My condolences to his family and friends.

I lift my eyes to the hills- from whence comes my help?
My help comes from the Lord.

Prayers to all.

My thoughts and prayers are with the family. Sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry to hear this. My thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends.

How terrible!...I am so sorry to hear of this news. I wish the best for his family and loved ones...

RIP

To the friends and family, please accept my condolences. I am sorry for your loss.

May Lenny rest in peace. Strength and comfort to his family and friends during this time of loss.

Let us give thanks to God for the many blessings we have received. Let us give thanks for the splendor of the mountains we love. However, let us also remember the price many pay on these mountains.

To our mountaineering comrade. He lived, he felt, he was as vibrant, as energetic, as mortal as you and I. He was brave and adventurous. He, like many of us, came to Colorado to be closer to the heavens than most ever dare. Some may argue about the futility of climbing mountains, but we should never forget those that have died pursuing their passion to conquer the unconquerable.

Many a man has heeded the siren call of the mountains through the years, many a man has heard that call for the last time in these solemn heights. Let us not forget our fallen friend. Though few of us knew him, our connection to him in this passion for the mountains unites us. In this we understand him, are connected to him, we know him, and feel loss for his passing.

May God’s peace sooth the aching hearts of them many that knew you and loved you, and may they be reminded that though this separation is painful it is only temporary.

Sorry to start a new topic on this subject, but the other thread hasn't been unlocked yet. I just saw this article which has a lot more information than I've seen before now.

RIP, Lenny. My sincerest condolences to family and friends....

I too heard about this from start (missing hiker) to finish (just after his body was found) and while there are other threads whining about this or that, I do not want Lenny's death to go unnoticed in the face of childish disagreement.

Lenny was a hero of all heroes. A fireman who put his life on the line for others. The world is a lesser place without you Lenny. My condolences to Lenny's family and friends.

RIP Lenny
