"On a topical level, it may seem odd to alpine climb in the name of a guy who never really participated in the sport much"
As a matter of fact I find it odd for anyone to climb in the name of someone else (be it a close who's dead or for the children of Africa). I only climb purely for my own fun, if/when I feel like climbing, so I simply can't get how people can climb for anything else (unless pro climber). But reading this kind of TRs broaden my perspectives!
