When David Lama, Hans Jörg Auer and Johnathan Rosskelly died in an Avalanche. They were the absolute best of the best in mountaineering, they had everything going for them and then suddenly it was over. I remember how it swept me off my feet and the shockwave it sent through the mountaineering community.

I’m getting more from this question than I could have wished for, I just really appreciate how people can inspire or live in a way that creates that response in an individual. Thanks for sharing
