Have they found and recovered him? Any news on services.

Yes, they have found hime...

Dallas was a great man of God, and an awesome climber! He will be missed. I only wish I had been able to climb with him more!

 

here is a bit about Dallas some of you may not know...

It would honor him if you took the time to read it, and consider what is said with an open heart!

 

God bless you Dallas.

Nice!

Wow, as a fellow Brother in Christ and climber I can say that I am truly inspired by Dallas' mission.

Yes, Dallas's body was found and recovered Thursday. There are plans being made for a memorial service. There is also plans being laid for a climbers event. It will probably be at Mt Erie which he was fond of as we all know, time and date still to be determined. I do not know yet if the service is family only or if it is a public invited thing. I am sure it can be posted up when that call is made.

Hi all-

 

The memorial service for Dallas will be held at 2:00pm on Saturday, October 16th - Anacortes High School. All are welcome.

Heinrich,

Perhaps a posting of this info in the Events Forum would be appropriate.

 

Never had the honor of meeting Dallas, but he was known to me through his fame in the mountains and his helping hand to others, as described by the posts in this thread. R.I.P. Dallas.

Good idea, thanks, I'll do that.

I met him once on a carpool drive up to the Cliff Hanger in Coquitlam, a very ambitious dude - god bless.

Thanks to all who attended the memorial service yesterday, I know I came away with a much better appreciation for the force of nature that was known as Dallas Kloke.

 

My personal favorite Dallas quote related at the service: A climbing partner once asked him what his secret to climbing longevity (50 yrs!) was....... "You either got it, or you don't."

 

Here's to you Dallas, I hope I got it!

It was a nice event yesterday. Moving, too. I don't do stuff like that but I teared up.

 

A quote from someone I spoke with afterward: "Dallas was a chief of our tribe."

Many thanks to Chris Weidner, who recently wrote an excellent piece on Dallas for a Boulder, CO newspaper: http://www.dailycamera.com/recreation-columnists/ci_16440528

 

Well said.
