i bet all your action figures are cherry

Ryan didn't share any TRs here, but he did have a pretty good contribution to the Random Climbing Partners thread (best of cc.com):

Ryan's blog: http://akalpinist.blogspot.com/

A Go-Fundme page for Ryan's family. He survived by a young boy. https://www.gofundme.com/ryanandmilo The Ryan and Milo GoFundMe was originally developed to support: (1) Getting other alpinists with experience in the Mendenhalls up to assist with potential ground search, (2) Assist with defraying costs of privately funded heli hours for search, (3) Assist with Care/Life/College fund for Ryan's 2.5 year old son Milo in a worst case scenario.As of Tuesday March 13th, this GoFundMe was updated to reflect the loss of Ryan and Marc, with priorities reflecting the original intention of the Ryan and Milo campaign in worst case scenario. Ryan was as equally passionate about family and fatherhood as he was about alpinism. Funds from this campaign will now go to: (1) Assist family and friends with closure and costs related to Ryan's passing, (2) Assist with Care/Life/College fund for Ryan's 2.5 year old son Milo who will be missing his father and father's emotional and financial support intensely.Thank you for helping in whatever way you can. Your caring and contributions will truly make a difference in this difficult time.Thanks again for your support and encouragement. Samuel H Johnson - Seward, Alaska A Friend and Alpine Climbing Partner of Ryan JohnsonThese funds will go to support costs related to closure for the family (service/funeral) and to a financial trust to be used for costs related care and education of Milo, Ryan's 2.5 year old son in the absence of financial support from his father Ryan.The administration of this campaign will be transferred to Ruth Johnson, Milo's grandmother who is working with attorneys and an investor to establish funds for Milo's care.

Page three of this thread has Ryan @akicebum and marc @marc_leclerc sharing bad partner stories back to back. Ryan's are pretty good.

came across this paper when looking up this info: http://mountainsandminds.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/12/Taylor-Mapping-Adventure.pdf I started to read it but I have to get to work. not sure what the point of it was, but seemed like it could be interesting (to someone who was looking for a distraction at least)

@Kurt_Fickeisen is that a relation to you making the AAC report?

Great pictures, thank you! Looks like a great time out in the hills.

I'm not sure if Bob last lived in Edmonds, WA and would be ~91 today. Looks like he passed in 1998.... https://www.ancientfaces.com/person/robert-k-byhre/82081192

That ad also helped buy a Seattle Mountain Rescue truck: http://www.seattlemountainrescue.org/ref/truck history 1996.pdf

Thanks for sharing this info. I actually, like your way of expressing the opinions and sharing the information.

Who are the geologists on here? @G-spotter

Looks like alphabet soup

Found in SE AK.

just going to have to agree to disagree there. you are picking and choosing what is related and connected to support your argument...that or you are completely missing the point: no matter what your path in life, there will be risks. as @Choada_Boy link shows, there is even risk in sitting on your ass and doing nothing all day. and people will not stop making "stupid" decisions just because you told them to. who in the hell thinks paragliding is a smart thing to do you adrenaline fueled risk junkie! it also seems like you are over investing in the idea that you are somehow in control in the self-will of others, or that they are particularly interested in your assessment of the risks they take. I know I'm personally doing so by continueing this conversation with you! It has been a very thoughtful and interesting to see different points of view on the topic. in this country in particular, self-will and individual choice are bedrock to the human psyche. any affront to this is usually not received well.
