sobo Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Bookmarked. Thanks, Gator! BTW, we haven't seen you around these parts in months. We missed ya! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Wow, Mike. In 1980 I climbed a wall in Yosemite with a guy named Mike Price. I met him on the shuttle bus in Yosemite and we then climbed The Prow. We had a great time and I've cherished the memory ever since, thinking: that was one of my best climbing partners ever and we only ever did one climb together. I think it was the climber described in your link. If my partner Mike was killed in a crevasse fall I am truly saddened 17 years later. I have looked forward to meeting him once again in the Bugs or the Gunks for 28 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cowboysrus Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Just lurking and saw this. Mike was actually my father's cousin and more or less a legacy within my family. I'm too young to have ever met him but was so very excited to see this story written. I've always heard about what a wonderful man he was. Great story.

rmncwrtr Posted October 24, 2008 Share Posted October 24, 2008 Thanks for the link. I just read all five parts. I'm guessing I look a lot like the people Jim described in the audience of his talk right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
