My heart goes out to Dave and with Joe's family. I am a friend of Dave's and he was very supportive and sad with my loss Feb 15th on St Helens ( I lost my climbing partner Joe Bohlig ). I know that it will be tough for them, I am just getting back to some sense of normalcy and it has been over 8 months.
I was lucky enough to be with my loved ones within 12 hours of the accident. He is having to deal with it for much longer. I hope that Dave will continue with what he loves and that I will see him next climbing season. I thought I would quit climbing, but quickly realized I would not. Friggin Cornices.......
