I loved it, though bittersweet. Lowell is one of the greats in Cascadian history, not only for his first ascents/descents but his impressive drive to preserve and distribute the ski history of our range.

 

Despite the painful losses endured and his advancing age, I bet Lowell can still drop me in the skin track. :wave:

Nailed it Jason, what an incredible resource to the mountain community!

 

Great to weave in the perspective of his 20-year old son, too.

The writer nailed it too. Touching tribute. It's damned hard to do a brief summary of a person (family's) important points in that short of an article and still make it interesting. You're cutting out 7/8 of their life. I feel like I want to buy Lowell a beer just for being a good dude now just from reading it. The world needs more folks like those folks, sadly too many whom are not with us now, that's why yer heart goes out. I remember reading about Carl's death on Cascade Climbers, although it was sad and I'd never met the guy, was also shocked to learn about his impressive bad-ass accomplishments that he had quietly racked up.

 

My best wishes go out to them all:
