Jim will be sorely missed here and all over the West in all the places he's climbed so often. From our outing last week...

Oh my god, this is just awful.
Jim made a special trip to hook me up with some old school gear last summer in Portland to help me out with some pickets adventures. Thanks so much for helping me out Jim, that was really really nice of you.

(the following adapted from Utah Philips writings)
Time is an enormous, long river, and I'm standing in it, just as you're standing in it, Jim was sanding in it. Our elders such as Jim are the tributaries, and everything they thought and every struggle they went through and everything they gave their lives to, and every route they created flows down to us - and if we take the time to ask, and if I take the time to see, and if I take the time to reach out and experience what he has left for us, we can build that bridge between our world and his. We can reach down into that river which he helped create and take out what we need to get through this world. Bridges from our time his time, and from his time to his elders time. And we all put into the river and we let it go and it flows away from us until it no longer has our name, our identity. It has its own utility and it's own use and people should take what they need and make it part of their lives. In this way, Jim didn't go anywhere, did he?

Hey everybody, Jim was our neighbor, our climbing partner, and a great friend and mentor to me and my wife.
Jim passed the new route bug to both my wife and I. He started out by bolting lines for Kay to clean and redpoint, then taught us the ins and outs of bolting, and lent us his drill when ever we wanted!
Jim was tons of fun to climb with, always providing a great vibe and never complaining about the moss and choss.
We will miss you Jim.
Paul & Kay
