Reporting with sadness the passing of Lou Whittaker, legendary mountaineer, founder of RMI and twin brother of Jim Whittaker, the first American to summit Everest. He will be greatly missed. RIP, Lou. Enjoy the view from your new summit.

Sad to hear. Happened to spend the night at The Bunkhouse when he was first opening it. Sat and listened to a lot of great stories . RIP

I hope that Alan Trammell is still doing well, at least.
