"It was the dark of the moon on the sixth of June
in a Kenworth hauling logs.
A cab-over Pete with a reefer on and a jimmy, hauling hogs.
We were hunting for bear on I - 1 0 about a mile out of Shakytown.
I said "calling a trucks, this here's the Duck and I'm
About to put hammer down."
 
He was on Everest in ‘96 when the first big Everest Disaster happened.

He died a few years later when some trad climbing pro failed.
I remember it was a 5.12 route.
Washington state if I remember.


He also once cross country skied to the North Pole and back solo.
Was stalked by a polar bear during the trip and shot it

I was a fan of his adventuring in my younger days.
Still think he was a badass

He was a great endurance athlete.

It was an easy 5.10a basalt finger crack tried at the end of a long day. He was new to cracks at that level too. All his pro zippered out and a biner failed while open. He failed to place his pro properly. And he was using stiff QuickDraws rather than loose slings that had some give and won’t walk pro or do funny things to biners. He stacked mistakes and it caught up with him.

I stopped using QuickDraws in the early 90s outside of vertical or overhanging bolted climbs.

He was not a 5.12 climber either. Maybe a 5.10.

Hey dumbass, that’s what flashback space is for. And standby databases. And having constraints on your tables. Oh and change management.

Actually, given the quality of “cuisine” that the troops were eating in the field, anything that could cover up the taste of weevils, maggots, hard-tack, salt pork and beef, moldy bacon, corn meal, half-sprouted spuds… would be in high demand. At least you could douse the foul food with something to cover it up.

Actually, the water drank was directly responsible for many of the casualties.
