I took this unique winter perspective of Eldorado Canyon's grandest of walls a few months back. The original print will be auctioned off this Tuesday at The Spot Benefit organized to help the rescue and recovery efforts in China. A full hour and a half message from Sheyna will also be on the table amongst many other amazing donations from across the country. Click here to learn more. Jonny, Wade, and Micah will be missed deeply. Johnny certainly touched my life in many ways and I thankful for the time I spend with him, like this Halloween, when we both, like a couple shirtless dancing monkeys, drove the Djembes home until the wee hours of the morning. Micah was also a friend, who on many occasions schooled me on climbing ethics and brought laughter to the crag, like this winter at The Rincon Wall in Eldo, when he had to take his girlfriend off belay (mid climb) on "Climb of the Century" because he was too freighted to watch her try it. Eric finished the duty while Micah hid in the bushes. Tough guy eh?... And although I never had the pleasure of knowing Wade, I am broken to know that someone who shared the same passion of mountain photography and film making as myself has been taken by the same medium that which helps craft our art. I would have certainly joined this expedition having been giving the chance (or had half the Alpine skills as Wade).
You all will be greatly missed and never forgotten.
Please join us at the Spot next Friday.
