Skinner’s legacy is his enthusiasm for climbing and exploration, on a grand scale or local scale, and love for a life lived passionately. Steve Bechtel remembered Skinner in a piece written after Skinner’s death, about a walk out of the Wind River Range after another weekend attempt on a climb. After hours of walking in the dark and rain, both their headlamps were starting to fail, and Skinner remarked that they were lucky.
Bechtel replied, “I don’t feel very lucky right now.”
Skinner answered, “At least we’re not accountants.”
