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.

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.

I'd like to add my voice to the chorus, and offer my thoughts and prayers to the family. Unexpected passings are always tragic.

"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."

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.
