His name is mentioned here quite a few times:

I just ran across this photo - so this is a pretty late post.

I was a member of the San Diego Mountain Rescue Team in the early 1970's. Kenny Cook was a strong climber & boulderer who joined the team around 1973 or so. He sought every opportunity to climb with more experienced climbers and I remember him as basically fearless. I don't remember how long Kenny was with the SDMRT. The last conversation I remember having with him was by telephone when he was looking for radios to take on an expedition. I didn't realize he'd died young.

Wow, I just stumbled on this gem of a photo. Mtn. Project surprises again.
I climbed a bunch with Ken back in the '70s. He was a great guy , super solid and calm when the chips were down. We climbed the Higher Cathedral Spire in winter and made what was my first El Cap attempt in winter. We were lucky to survive the ice chunk (tv to refrigerator sized pieces) bombardment.
I was just a kid but he, at 11 yrs. older, was a man. I looked up to him and would have followed him anywhere. He died way too young, it was totally unexpected.

Thanks Mtn. Project.
