In 2008 I stood with one of the two on our first 7000m peak. He is a SP fellower (we had met on SP)
Rest in Peace my friend. I am in speechless.

Very sad news and my condolences to their family and friends. My wife and I were in the gorge May 9th and it was hot then. The climbers we met talked about skinning to the climbs with their shirts off.

<cringe> I was in a restaurant here in South Jordan, Utah, on a business trip when I read this news in the USA Today I received upon checkin at my hotel. It sent a shiver up my spine.

Wishing peace to the surviving family, friends & loved ones.

Met Avner on a Rainier attempt and a little rock climbing in the park while he was visiting Washington. Sorry to hear about this.
