I knew Scott in college - Colby College, Maine, early '80's - and was aware of this tragedy. I was talking about him this morning and thought I'd google his name to see if there was ever a recovery of the aircraft. He lived with a prior/future roommate of mine and I remember him as a gentle and very nice person. I was very sad to discover he'd died so tragically many years ago. I see the references to his backcountry skiing - I kind of remember a pair of nordic skis in his dorm room but didn't think of him as a skier! Strangely, his college roommate and I are now in the midst of planning a ski tour in Switzerland next spring which is what prompted me to mention him today.

Amazing climb and epic trip report!! Thanks for putting the effort into this! Bravo guys!

With a long ago NW Arete (Coulour) accident on Shuksan brought to mind recently, I was remembering Scott Croll. Scott was one of several rangers (as Skeezix had mentioned) on this team effort, which spanned from 1991-94 to recover climber Gary Gary, killed by sudden ice fall. Yes, Scott's father was a career NPS ranger, Scott was well on his way too.
