jefferson ain't no mountain to sneer at

 

"wise sir, do not grieve

it is always better to avenge dear ones

than to indulge in mourning

for every one of us living in this world

means waiting for our end

let he who can achieve glory before death

when a warrior is gone

that will be his best and only bulwark"

Must be that big crevasse up on the north side route? Probably some soft new powder snow over ice or old frozen corn was conditions and the crevasse should have been exposed and visible. Be interesting to hear the full story of how it rolled.

 

Condolences to the mans loved ones. That's tough stuff and I'm sorry to read it.
