The names of the most recent deaths were just released... one was Suzanne Allen from Seattle. We hung out with Suzanne on Aconcagua in 2010 and just spent 9 days camping next to her on Denali. A wonderful woman who was at home in the mountains. Rest in Peace Suzanne.

Suzanne and I began guiding for Alpine Ascents the same year, working a lot together in the years following. I considered her not just a colleague but a friend. She was dedicated and passionate about guiding and very outgoing, sharing her love of outdoor adventure with everyone she met. I'll miss her as a rope mate and compadre. Blessings to you on your next grand adventure Suzanne!

Dave and Suzanne

 

I only had the chance to climb with Suzanne once, but it was on that trip that I clearly saw how awesome she was! Her and Dave were quite the pair! Dave is a friend of mine, and I can't begin to imagine his pain. My heart and prays go out to him and the rest of her family. What little time I spent with her while climbing a local mountain, was truly an honor. Rest in peace Suzanne.
