🧗‍♂️ LOvE this story… I’m very familiar with that area. I had no idea about the history. Thank you! ::: My parents were friends with a gentleman climber (Gordon S?) who passed on in the same treacherous manner. His mother wrote a beautiful letter to my parents explaining his death and how it was her sons’ first LOvE interest in climbing that mountain 🏔️ 👨
