Ryan was killed in a rock climbing accident at Goat Mountain on Sept. 7 2008. An artist's reception will be held on Fri., Sept. 4, 6-10pm, 301 W. HOLLY St., Bellingham. Trish's hope is to get the word out to the climbing community throughout the Northwest, not just as a tribute to Ryan, but to bring climbers together and continue the dialogue of "risk" that rock climbing is all about. Studies indicate that the inclination to take high risks may be hard-wired into the brain, intimatley linked to arousal and pleasure mechanisms, and may offer such a thrill that it functions like an addiction. Show runs through Sept. 25. Details about Ryan : Rock and Ice, Issue 179, July 2009 or www.supertopo.com.
