DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was always impressed with John, hell I knew of him even before I started climbing. I had opertunity to meet John last fall. Even with all the talk of climbing, his advice to "use a rope", ect... I think what I'll remember most about meeting him is his sence of humour and how real of a person he is/was. Just down to earth and genuinely interested in hearing your stories/jokes/epic. He didn't need to talk about himself.
The one other thing I will always remember is how impressed he was that the local brewery had a beer called "Traditional", which locals always refer to as "Trad". Every beer he ordered he had to tell the whole table how cool it was that we had a "Trad" beer.
Rest peacefully John.
Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family.
