Oh man, this is bad news. Tough year on the Bells, I hope that this one turns out OK.

I'm hearing that too through local friends. Here's an update from Denver Channel: http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/lo ... near-aspen
Mountains cast spells on me - Why, because of the way Earth-heaps lie, should I be Chocked by joy mysteriously; stilled or drunken-gay? Why should a brown hill trail Tug at my feet to go? Why should a boggy swale Tune my heart to a nameless tale Mountain marshes know?

A moment of silence for our fallen brother of the mountains, and prayers for the recovery of the other both physical and emotional.

Very sad indeed. Prayers for the injured one for a quick physical and emotional recovery and condolences to those of the fallen climber. RIP
Safe return for all those in the rescue teams.
