He sounds like someone we all would've wanted to meet. We're sorry for your loss, Aleksey, mountain partnerships are some of the closest connections we can make. Don't be afraid to ask around for support when you need it.

The CAIC accident report . Your summary is sufficient to cover the report's basics.

The Grand Lines blog -- it looks like he was stoked to share his stoke and a safer approach to the mountains with everyone.

Thanks for sharing that.

I don't know George, but we share a few close friends. I know they are really shook up from this. A couple of them will be here in a march. I'm sure we'll be tipping some back for him. Your welcome to join us some eve to share some stories and remember george.

Beautiful tribute, I hope my people have even half that love for me when it's my turn.  Thanks for sharing your heart like that.

I pray for peace, understanding & love for you.  If I see his raven tomorrow, I'll certainly bow my head to it.

Very touching tribute. It leaves me with a notion of your friend George arcing giant turns down an untracked face somewhere distant. He sounds like a great friend to have known.

Those are great words,  and a fitting tribute to any friend.  Thanks for coming here to share them.
