billcoe Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Crap sorry to hear that, young folks too. I was going to go up there this afternoon and burn off some laps at Meadows but it was too warm for me so I blew it off. Damn sad. Quote

Boneheadjzb Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Thad and Brook were very good friends, and amazing climbers. My heart is with them both. No words can replace her, but she will always be remembered. Quote
JoshK Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 This is indeed very sad news and while I didn't know the climbers, it always hits close to home. My condolences to all involved. -josh Quote
billbob Posted January 22, 2009 Posted January 22, 2009 Damn sorry to hear this news. Could someone tell us more about her? Quote
Frikadeller Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 Bad news. Sorry to hear about it. While I did not know the people involved, it sends a small jolt through my heart because we all know and love that mountain so much, that we hate to hear news like this. Quote
Joe_Poulton Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 This is a crappy winter to climb....damn air inversion. Quote
ivan Posted January 23, 2009 Posted January 23, 2009 This is a crappy winter to climb....damn air inversion. on the contrary, its put down a fine firm ice coating for climbing, and the approach and conditions on the n side at least are fantastic - we just need the wind to stop blowing and for it to cool off again and it'll be safe(er) no consolation here though - this just seems to be a freak occurence Quote

At least when it starts snowing again, that "sweet" ice on the approach will turn into "avy nightmare"....Nothing like a layer of ice under a few other layers to apply some "lube".. Ya know? Quote
