sobo Posted November 21, 2010 Share Posted November 21, 2010 Carlos is THE MAN! I've climbed with him on a couple of occasions, and had the greatest time of my life on rock doing so. He even went so far as to send me postcards from his NR K2 climb while I was laid up at home with a back injury. The guy's hiking his way into K2 ABC, and he's sending this schmuck postcards! I mean, c'mon! And he did a fundraiser for my mountain rescue unit and all he wanted was some gas money to get from Canmore and back. You couldn't even pay the guy anything - he wouldn't take it! In my experience, you will not find a finer, more humble, self-effacing, and encouraging person on this planet. Rock on, Carlos!

Coldfear Posted November 22, 2010 Share Posted November 22, 2010 Dane great write up! Carlos has always stood out in my mind as one of the greats in his accomplishments and as a person.
