Hard to say anything... Their souls will remain on the mountain for ever.

It just makes us realize how fragile we are all out there. I had enjoyed pms with digitalis/cyrill over the mountains and photography on SP too over the years. He will be missed. condolensces to the families.

Does anyone know the full name of Cyrill so I can add him to the "In Memory of..." page.

Thanks!

Just for the record, the date of Cyrill's death on his profile page should be corrected from May 13 to June 13 perhaps.

Cyrill has been added as well. He will always be remembered. I'm still in disbelief...

You might PM Gangolf about this as I think he updated the page.

Very sad indeed, three young people at the same time. I had noted his great photos of many of the big Western Alps peaks, and his list of climbs was amazing.
