Thanks for the great report Jason, and heartfelt thanks to everyone for their efforts. I will never know TJ, but anyone whom you admired that much must have been absolutely first class. Having lost (as in lost and never found on a Sisters traverse out of Bend in 2000) a very close friend to climbing, and been in on a few too many near misses, it really hits home. We are frequently so close to danger in the hills, succeed, shrug and move on. The mountains are so beautiful, and our time in them so precious. Enjoy the adventure, cherish the great friends you get out with, and be careful. I hope to see you again out there.
