I knew Dallas since the early 90s and he was always a great inspiration and mentor. His positive influence touched many people and not only climbers. He always had a desire to give back all that he so deeply enjoyed to everyone he met and everyplace he loved. Beta on routes, excellent climbing partner, cleaning the crags, replacing old bolts, guiding newcomers, writing guidebooks, leading and coaching outings...this man did it all and in many ways is greatly respected as one of the great elders that we all inspire to be someday. His energy was contagious and his generosity in sharing his experience and knowledge will live on forever in many of our hearts. He will be missed but never forgotten.
