Note that in the article they describe him wearing a Red River Gorge Climbers Coalition hat. Cool.

I took him up Roadside Attraction a couple of years ago when he was here doing a slide show and staying with the webers. I'll never forget it.

nice article for a kickass guy. longtime hero of mine, reading his guides to the north cascades are inspiring. The stuff he did back in the day in his teens and twenties are completely nuts even with all the equipment/training/knowledge of today.
