minx Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 this is the most appropriate thread on the subject so far. i also extend my deepest sympathies to the family and friends of these climbers. Quote
still_climbin Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I agree and extend the same to the families. I regret the media hell they had to experience on top of all of this. Quote

BirdDog Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 My deepest sympathies and condolences to the friends and family. Time does not cure death, it is however a great healer. From what I saw of the family on TV, you are very strong people; I believe in time you will heal. The very best to you in the this most difficult time. Also, my sincerest gratitude to those who participated in the rescue op. Quote
Dr_Flush_Amazing Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 A lot of seemingly rude things have been posted on this website over the last week (by myself included) about the accident on Mt. Hood. However, I believe that the rude postings by the cc.com regulars were intended to mock and drive away the gawking, non-climbing jackals who seemed to relish every gory detail of the accident and who speculated about it endlessly without giving any thought to the fear, anguish, and pain felt by the climbers and their friends and family. I'm sorry that we had to resort to such terrible tactics to have our voices heard over the know-nothing ambulance chasers that inundated this site recently. We probably could have dealt with that better. CC.com is a group that cares deeply about the well-being and fate of all climbers, and I'm sure that most of us here wish we could have been a part of the search on Mt. Hood. And I know that we were all hoping those climbers would be found safe and sound with a great story to tell. I'm very sorry we'll never get to hear that story. My very best wishes for the friends and family of the climbers. May you heal soon and well. Quote
selkirk Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 I'd like to add my voice to the chorus, and offer my thoughts and prayers to the family. Unexpected passings are always tragic. "For God could no longer be found in his traditional steeple houses, but seemed to dwell more vividly in the bare austerities of his earths' high places." Quote
G-spotter Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 "There are souls whose umbilicus was never cut, who were never weaned from the universe. They do not understand death as an enemy; they embrace it and look forwards to rotting and turning into humus." Quote
griz Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 "It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt Quote

lbeam Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 My heart and prayers go out to the families of Jerry, Brian and Kelly. These 3 adventurous souls are now with God. They lived their lives to the fullest. God bless them and their families who supported them. We had all hoped for them to make it through this tragedy. Be strong during these rough times. Quote

jport Posted December 22, 2006 Posted December 22, 2006 Their passion and respect for the mountains is shared by so many of us in the climbing community. We celebrate their accomplishments, strength, and mourn their passing. May we all find peace. Quote
Wopper Posted December 23, 2006 Posted December 23, 2006 May the road rise up to meet you May the wind always be at your back May the sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall soft upon your fields. And until we meet again, May god hold you in the palm of his hand. My thoughts are with all involved. Quote
