JosephH Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 Jenni Lowe and Conrad Anker set up the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation (ALCF) which, among other programs, established the Khumbu Climbing School in Phortse, Nepal to increase the safety margin of Nepali climbers and high altitude workers. They happily accept donations to it at: http://www.active.com/donate/alcf. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetBoss Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I first met Alex in 1993 on Aconcagua. He was guiding a dude and we had a beer at a hut near 15,000' on the Polish Glacier route. He never bragged or chest beated, he was very kool. We hooked again in Leavenworth by coincidence and climbed a few days together. What separated him from many of the elite climbers was how strong he was mentally - he acknowledged fear, doubt, whatever but pushed it aside every time out with confidence and technique. He had undeniably flawless technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
